Hey, you, reader:
Ever been browsing someone's blog, website, repo -- even their social web profile -- and thought to yourself "Wow, that's really neat. I love what they did here!"
Consider telling them! Someone on here made a post a while back encouraging people to do just that, and I've tried to make a conscious habit of contacting the authors of neat little indie and smolweb sites.
Email, guestbook, comment; whatever it might be, consider reaching out somehow to share your appreciation. You might be surprised at how much it makes their day.
You might also be surprised to discover how much making their day makes yours, too.
Google's disastrous imminent plan - to block Android apps from devs who don't hand over ID to Google - will not affect me directly, because I use GrapheneOS.
Nevertheless, this is pushing me away from Android. I don't want to be part of what Google is pushing.
My plan is to move to postmarketOS, a Free software, non-Android, mobile OS.
I have already started, but it will still take me some time.
(I have tried others, including Sailfish, without much luck.)

”Sveriges utvisningspolitik går numera emot grundlagen, anser han, och den utgör ”en fundamental avvikelse från hur politik bör bedrivas i en rättsstat”.

Question for postmarketOS and phosh folks: I have a phone running postmarketOS edge with phosh, but after installing updates and rebooting today it does not seem to start phosh at all, I only get a cli login prompt. I can still ssh into it and do things though. Tried looking in the log using the logread command, but found nothing mentioning "phosh" and ps shows no phosh process running. How can I find out why it no longer starts phosh at startup?
Nu finns inspelningar från SamNet-konferensen för två veckor sen:
@konstellationen @eliasr Vänsterpartiet borde starta en egen instans där alla deras politiker och medlemmar kan starta konton. Alla svenska riksdagspartier borde göra det inför riksdagsvalet.
Nothing says professional, legal policing like an anonymous, masked kidnapper telling someone, ""I'm not getting into the legality of everything."
A small-town police chief intervened and secured the release of a US resident arrested by ICE agents.
Hello @dlundh ! So you do "observability stuff" for the government? That sounds interesting! Can you explain more what it means?
