A classic example of the #toxicity of modern society: It turns out that exercise is as effective against #depression as #pharma, but exercise isn't controlled by a big corporation for #profit. #BigPharma spends huge amounts on #marketing, no one is spending anywhere close to that on marketing simple yet effective things like taking a walk with friends or family every day

@lucasmz e.g. which WebDAV or Nextcloud service, via an app or directly, how did you use a USB Thumb Drive, or was it an SDCard?
@lucasmz Have you seen a documented known good configuration? Or have you posted one?
@iron_bug @pluralistic Free Software does provide Digital Sovereignity and lots of governments are jumping on free software exactly for that reason. And the more they build around free software, the more they will also want adversarial interoperability.
@trashpanda most interesting of all: "Countries where resistance campaigns were nonviolent were 10 times as likely to transition to democracy compared to countries where resistance turned violent—regardless of whether the campaign succeeded or failed in the short term. Even when nonviolent campaigns were not immediately successful, Chenoweth/Stephan found, they still tended to empower moderates or reformers within the ruling elites who would gradually initiate changes."

@trashpanda Repression is a given, but protesters have options. I can suggest the work of Erica Chenoweth, her research shows non-violent movements are twice as likely to succeed as violent ones. https://www.ericachenoweth.com/research/wcrw
Some key examples off the top of my head:
* The expressly non-violent organizations in the US Civil Rights Movement were the largest and most effective.
* ANC's turn to non-violence led them to victory.
* Czechoslovakia's Velvet Resolution was non-violent, swift and effective.
