@thibaultamartin what kind of printer is that?
@ccamara @duckduckgo @pixelfed Yes, that's interesting. I've seem those ads in Stockholm as well. The times they are a-changin', maybe, finally?
@agx @purism Nice! Could that be used to signal different things using different light characteristics, like blinking slowly means "new email" and blinking quickly means "new sms"? Could be useful to get a quiet hint about what is happening while still leaving the screen off until the user turns it on.
@mc@mastodon.sdf.org Glad to see Pascal still being used! Decades since I used it now, but I remember it was nice, not as cryptic as C/C++ and such. For example, "begin" is easier to understand than {.
@Xjs @fribbledom I also heard about this as coming from Rawls. Apparently other philosophers earlier as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_of_ignorance

Someone said "is that still a thing?" when I announced I was on Mastodon. Is it?
Boost this so we actually get a few votes maybe? How far can it go?

Why do the cookie popups start with "We value your privacy", clearly they don't because they would've just not included the crap.
@aral Great! If you like #pinephone then check out #librem5 by @purism as well -- more expensive but also more ambitious.

Here’s the video of my talk “Beyond surveillance capitalism: alternatives, stopgaps, Small Web, and Site.js.” from Creative Mornings Istanbul on Friday.
Edited to fix the audio sync issue, add captions, chapters, and links to all the mentioned tools, etc.
Enjoy + please share! :)
@alexandria @sir @j1mc I like this comparison of Good Art and Good Code -- reminds me of that great book by Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It's all about quality.
@sir LFS makes all distros obsolete 😛

So suddenly there’s a lot of attention around email and it’s exposing how many people in the web community still use Gmail. Like actually trust all your personal information and communication (and that of your potentially marginalised or vulnerable contacts) with Google. 🤮
There are a lot of hard problems and lack of alternatives when it comes to rights-respecting technology. But email (as imperfect as it is) has a fair few affordable alternative providers. Small change, big difference.

@nause_marc @mntmn Thanks! Cool stuff 😃
@mntmn I'd love to see the pictures but that link does not seem to work: "400 Bad Request"
