@gutenberg_org I read "Civil Disobedience" in Swedish: "Civil olydnad". Good book!

It seems to have happened without much fanfare, but about a month ago @purism has released the Librem 5 hardware layouts under GPLv3 (as original PADS and converted KiCad projects), joining the schematics that were already available from the start.

@xianc78 best series I've seen so far was The Wire which I think is somewhere in between of those two choices. It's a world, but also characters, and you do follow the same characters over time.

I remember how nervous I was when (in early 2020) I went to the post office with my 📱 to drop off a 📦 and present the barcode on the phone. (Having previously scp'ed the pdf to the phone to show it in evince).

Would the 🔋 last? Would it overheat? Would the display stack hold? It worked.

Nowadays I don't spend a thought: Fill in the data on my laptop, save the pdf, have it synced automatically via to 's ticket-box folder and show it at the counter. ✅

Such an honor to meet the legendary Richard Stallman at #LibrePlanet2024 at Wentworth Institute! Engaging with a pioneer of the free software movement and discussing the future of digital rights was absolutely inspiring. @fsf #FreeSoftware #OpenSource #TechForGood

@Mojeek does that count include sometimes re-indexing the same page at different times, or is it 8 billion separate pages (distinct URLs)?

Det går också att ta strid om det är så att man förväntas klicka "accept" på någon sorts villkor från t.ex. Microsoft som skulle ge Microsoft tillgång till information om en själv. Man kan säga att jag accepterar villkor från universitetet, men jag tänker inte acceptera att data om mig skickas till Microsoft. Jag tror inte att universitetet egentligen har rätt att kräva att studenterna ska skicka sitt data till Microsoft. Det är fel, men görs av gammal dålig vana.

Jag vet ju att folk sällan orkar göra det, men det där är egentligen ett väldigt bra tillfälle för studenten att klaga. Om man är antagen till en utbildning med vissa villkor, då har man rätt till den utbildningen, och om de inte skrev tydligt när man blev antagen att "denna kurs är endast för Microsoft-kunder", då måste de rimligen låta en student gå kursen utan Microsoft.

@SmudgeTheInsultCat it is an exceptionally funny film!

One of my favourite parts is when a resistance guy is writing some anti-roman slogan on a wall, and a roman soldier spots him and is upset about grammatical errors, so forces him to write the anti-roman slogan again 100 times grammatically correct 😄

@marcusosterberg mm det hade varit spännande om man kunde vara medveten om när man själv ändrat sina värderingar, och varför. Jag tror förändringen oftast sker smygande på nåt sätt och man låtsas att man inte alls ändrat sina värderingar, men om man skulle ha haft något skrivet svart på vitt skulle det bli uppenbart. Man skulle kunna ha som en debatt med sitt eget tidigare jag, och förhoppningsvis kunna förklara varför man har rätt nu och varför man hade fel förut.

Be careful with the "All or Nothing"
approach in regard to data privacy.

Absolutes can be misleading.

For example, it is not because it’s not possible to delete ALL traces of ALL your data that deleting at least the visible data isn’t worth it.

Reducing your digital traces, even when it is not completely erasing your digital traces, almost always offer some benefits to increase your privacy and security online.

Giving up however very rarely helps.

My day so far:

Wrote a todo list

Then did a number of things that seemed important and urgent

Went back to the todo list to mark some things as done , only to find that none of the things I did so far were on the list 🙃

@Mayobrot thanks for answering! I use gPodder and I added your feed via the "Subscriptions" menu, "Add podcast via URL".

@Mayobrot this is great, but in my podcast program all those episodes are listed with release date "1970-01-01" which is a little impractical, for example they don't show up when I list the most recent episodes from all podcasts, because 1970 is not recent. Is that something you could fix?

Announcement!
I have a curated podcast feed of other people's podcast episodes that I really liked. You can subscribe to it like any other podcast feed. It's mostly podcasts in English, but sometimes Swedish too.
