What's wrong with the public sphere as a construct?

> could be rebuilt is entirely unclear to me.
Things sure look bad at the moment, but I think it will come back, we humans have it in us, we always had, we just got distracted and temporarily forgot about it. It will come back to us. Solidarity does not need to be built, it will grow like vegetation coming up in cracks in the asphalt.
@sarahjamielewis people who want privacy should use Tor instead of a VPN?
I knew the quality of discourse on twitter had taken a plunge but geeze guys. Get a clue. And btw, quit using that site, all you're doing is feeding trump and elon musk and they're both pretty well overfed already.

@jonben @samuel man ska ta sig in till skattkammaren djupt inne i mitten av borgen och där ska man smyga in och plocka med sig skatter, helst utan att draken vaknar för då sprutar den eld som lätt tar kol på en. Den som har mest skatter med sig ut vinner. Om någon alls överlever det vill säga, det händer att alla dör.
Första recensionen av SVT-serien "The Pirate Bay" som har premiär på fredag.

@samuel välj inte Riddar Rohan, han är sämst.
@nopatience one small thing that anyone can do, is that when you tell others about some great software that you are using, for example you write a blog post about it or post somewhere about it, make sure to mention something about how and where we can donate to that project. I mean instead of just writing "software XYZ is great and it's free!", write "software XYZ is great and its FOSS so it needs funding, here is how to donate ."
@nopatience I didn't buy any ebooks in any form myself so I don't really know what I'm talking about here, but I remember someone (maybe it was @karlemilnikka ) saying that the thing to do is to buy e-books in a way that makes it possible for you to download book files in an open format (possibly with some watermarking thing to discourage you from spreadig it to others) so that you know you will always be able to read the book. Even if the company that sold it disappears in the future. @mwl
@tina toppen!

@mms Ugh. I refuse to get a Microsoft account just to tell some FOSS guy his code has a problem. And don't get me started on Discord. Why do people think it's OK to force others to give up their privacy?
@neil I think you need to move your fruit basket further away from all network devices. Three does not allow encrypted pear-to-pear connections.
@fantomtexter jag har undrat ibland hur grundlagarna skulle ha sett ut om den här typen av personer som de som är i regeringen nu hade fått bestämma. Misstänker att det inte hade funnits några rättigheter alls då, de verkar ju ha noll förståelse för varför mänskliga rättigheter finns.
@iam_jfnklstrm varje dag är det så känner jag
My spicy take is that auto updates are a security vulnerability best classified as "arbitrary code execution".
