@TechNews Magpies are my favourite bird and we have a lot in Perth. I didn't know heatwaves were very bad for them. And I also haven't seen magpies roll on the ground and play with each other. So cool.
Problems we face today:
❌ Climate crisis
❌ Systemic inequality
❌ War, poverty, and disease
Silicon Valley’s solutions:
✅ Blockchain
✅ NFTs
✅ Billionaires in space
What planet are these people on?
@aral YouTube on any android web browser does the same.
@blindscribe reading your latest post, this seems to be more than an annoyance. I hope everything sorts itself out and you can get back to doing what you love.
@blindscribe I think SMS has less potential for man in the middle attacks then something like email. SMS does suffer from number porting. But the sites probably want as much personal information as they can get.
My first computer was a Commodore C16 in 1986, followed by a C128D in 1987, on which I ran the included CP/M 3.0 and wrote my first Turbo pascal programs on it.
1991, I got my first MS-DOS-based PC with a real screen reader, HAL v4.5 by @yourdolphin.

But if you’re blind how do you type?! 👩🏼🦯🤳🏻
Blind people online have to answer these kind of questions constantly.
So help raise some awareness & share this…

Advert in today's Australian @FinancialReview: Julian Assange faces extradition to the US and a 175 year sentence simply for publishing truthful documents #auspol #FreeAssangeNOW #DickSmith https://t.co/oDbWYI63Qm
Universal Audio said they'd invest in Linux support for their devices if tens of thousands of people signed a petition. So, here's that petition:

@madargon Caption: Internet at the beginning. Person riding a bird over green pastures with people camping and having fun everyehere. Internet now. Same person carrying shoulder bag on a stick walking through a PoW style camp with a welcome sign, trip wires, holes, and security cameras.
Sad illustration...
I had first vision for this after reading some chapters of "Permanent Record".

@aral I signed but I am working on a Web 3.0 app. I see data being distributed as part of the semantic web. People can hook into the network and share using a device and not a server.
@3rik #FreeSoftware can still contribute and build upon it. They just cannot be part of a corporation. Its similar to MIT and GPL. What is more free, writing code so some billionaire can make more money and you get health insurance, or working together to make your collective peers' live more fruitful? Both make open source code.
71% of Australians polled by the Sydney Morning Herald on 18th December support calls for @wikileaks founder and publisher Julian Assange to be 'brought back to Australia' @smh #FreeAssangeNOW https://t.co/f5Ohenu0dC
@sam Librem.one has an interesting approach where the same account can be used for mastodon, email, matrix. You'll need all services hosted in the same place. I don't know what they do in the backend, but is this something you were thinking of?
@obra I would like to get more into developing open source but if a security researcher comes with a bug. I would like to know the best processes that we can use to fix the issue and push it out so the log4j incident doesn't repeat.
@devinprater you can tell the type of people if a meow breaks the silence or extends it. Cats make a community but you cannot herd them.
I am into science and climate activism. I love to learn about social issues and to challenge my own perspectives. I'm also into free and open-source software and I am back in University studying computer science.
