American naturalist, essayist, poet, and philosopher Henry David Thoreau died #OTD in 1862.
In addition to "Walden," Thoreau is well-known for his essay "Civil Disobedience," which was inspired by his 1846 arrest for refusing to pay poll taxes as a protest against slavery and the Mexican-American War. His political writings later influenced many political leaders, including Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.

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.

I remember how nervous I was when (in early 2020) I went to the post office with my #Librem5 📱 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 #syncthing to #phosh'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

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 🙃

You probably didn't have an urge to know how deep fryers are cleaned. But this is where we are now.
Shshshshs....
The music is really good.
Listened to this @MoneroTalk episode about the dangers of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and what to do about that: https://www.monerotalk.live/the-imminent-threat-of-cbdcs-aaron-day-309
What do you think, do we need privacy of digital payments, as we have been used to with cash, where person A can give money to person B peer-to-peer without anyone else knowing it? (If you go for the "in between" option, please comment to explain what you mean and how that's possible.)

@libreoffice I've been using #LibreOffice for many years. Only when I'm forced I use another office suite, and that did not happen in the last 2.5 years.
I highly recommend LibreOffice!
Look, report-writing experts have discovered Mastodon 😄
"Children should not access most social media until 18 amid attempt to ‘monetise’ and ‘control’ them, says study commissioned by Macron"
"The report said a 15-year-old should be able to access only what the report called “ethical” social media, such as Mastodon."
"Tech is and will remain a fantastic tool, but it has to act in people’s service, not people being reduced to serving a product."
👍

Hi @bagder any chance of another episode of the #fossified podcast soon? Your listeners are starving 🙂

LLM's are an advancement in "AI" the same way stage magicians have gotten us closer to safely sawing people in half
