According to Timothy Snyder's "On Freedom" (2024) there are these five forms of freedom:
- Sovereignty
- Unpredictability
- Mobility
- Factuality
- Solidarity
We need all of them. #freedom #sovereignty #unpredictability #mobility #factuality #solidarity

Depeche Mode Live at Aragon Ballroom 1985-03-22 https://archive.org/details/ajc02258_dm1985-03-22
Just watched The Blues Brothers. Wonderful movie!
Random quotes:
"I hate Illinois Nazis"
"We're on a mission from God."
"You gotta understand, this is a lot bigger than any domestic problems you might be experiencing."
It has great music. I guess that happens when you have names like Aretha Franklin, James Brown and Ray Charles in the cast. 🤩
Oh and also Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia!) as the Mystery Woman.

As much as I like paper and computers, I hate printers. Perhaps because printer manufacturers were the first really obvious enshittifiers?
But this one gets me excited: https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer

Funderar över att skapa en #KomIgång guide för #Linux för nybörjare på svenska 🇸🇪
Tänker mig att det finns rätt många som har en dator som inte längre kan uppdateras till nyaste #Windows11 pga de hårdvarukrav Microsoft ställer.
Men med Linux så kan den få ett nytt liv, och gå att använda i många år till.
Och det är nog många som inte känner till hur enormt mycket de faktiskt kan göra i Linux, om inte allt, av sina vardagsbehov.
Vad tror du om den idén?

@EUCommission great, now there is an important step left STOP USING X, delete all institutional accounts, encourage all EU politicians to come to mastodon and set an example

@eliasr Stumbled across this Desmond Tutu quote the other day. Illustrates your point quite clearly. The status quo is never free of politics, ever.
It occurred to me that when someone says things like "keep politics out of it", or "political discussions are not allowed here", and similar, what they are really doing is itself deeply political and they are effectively making a statement in favor of the status quo, supporting the current powers-that-be.
There is no place without politics.
The statement "this is not the place for politics" really means "I support the powers-that-be and that's the only opinion allowed here".
All caps warning to sysadmins
