Happy #DIDay!
Every first Sunday of the month, we reclaim our digital freedom by switching to democracy-friendly alternatives. In the past years I gradually secured my digital independence.
✅ I never had WhatsApp and I'm still alive and able to communicate with people.
✅ I switched from Mac to #Framework and #Linux.
✅ I switched from #MSOffice to #LibreOffice.
✅ On my own computer I installed only #foss software.
✅ I deleted my X account and switched to #Mastodon.
✅ I quit #Amazon.
So when Trump decides to go get Greenland he’s just going to fly in and kidnap our prime minister. Great. You have a scrupulous and clinically insane idiot elected as your president and he wants to own the world. I have absolutely no trust in any of you Americans whether you are pronounced MAGA or if you “didn’t vote for the guy”: Your elected president is a megalomaniac dictator and it’s your fucking responsibility to stop him.
I am thinking about taking a HAM radio certificate (the "standard" Swedish/European HAREC certificate)!
I have the Swedish book KonCEPT that SSA (https://www.ssa.se) has written. But it is quite info dense. I would love to alternate with lighter educational litterature, blog posts, videos, podcasts, etc.
Do you HAM radio people have any suggestions? Please boost :)
@neil victims should reject such vague blanket apologies. Please provide a specific apology for each pun, showing that you understand why it was bad and the steps taken to ensure that no such pun will appear again.
Did a talk about Transitous at Update Computer Club today (in Swedish) (also mentioning some clients implemeting the API, such as #gnomemaps #kdeitinerary #bimba )

@waspfactory jag tycker ändå det är ungdomars uppgift att fucka upp. Det är som det ska vara. Känns tryggt på något vis.

Jäklar vad upplyftande att höra någon som faktiskt vill bygga något bättre. Läs intervjun med Advokatsamfundets ordförande: https://www.dn.se/sverige/advokatsamfundet-tar-strid-mot-alla-i-politiken-utom-vansterpartiet/
I took some better product photos now, for the Libreboot T580:
https://minifree.org/product/libreboot-t580.html
This comes with Libreboot pre-installed, which is a free/open source BIOS/UEFI implementation based on coreboot. It provides better security and freedom for users, compared to running proprietary firmware.
Debian Linux pre-installed.
I'm Libreboot's founder and lead developer. Sales fund the project.
This is actually the T580 I use. Libreboot 26.01 RC1 came out recently. I took these photos at #39c3 CCH!

@adhdeanasl I no longer celebrate Thursday.
@torvalds happy holidays! One floss.social post won't have space to discuss all the inaccuracies in your post.
This lawsuit isn't primarily about Linux, which is just 1 of 26 copyleft projects on the TVs; there's both GPLv2 & LGPLv2.1 binaries; Vizio's sources remain non-compliant on various issues. I think maybe you didn't read what we've actually said?
Lots of Linux developers care about this and have different views, so maybe take some time to talk to them or me about it? Could be fun!
@Fox jag känner lite så också. Man är ju van vid att saker är dåliga i världen, det är inte det i sig, men på nåt vis har det gått till överdrift nu. Ska vi ha "jul" mitt i den här skiten? Det går ju inte.
