'Free Software is about empowerment.
When I was a student with little money, Linux enabled me to do interesting things with my cheap and old computer where the pre-installed software failed.
Since then, my whole education & many achievements would have been impossible had I not been able to experiment, learn, disassemble, reassemble, modify, tweak, and use #software the way I wanted.
This kind of #empowerment needs a strong lobby: the FSFE'

Today I learned the hard way that it's important to read the release notes before an update. Corrupting data on a website, I later read in the release notes of a module that if you use a certain functionality, you should absolutely skip this version due to a bug, and wait for the next one. That is why you make backups 😆 #WebDevelopment #Life

I have a (free) new book out! "How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism" is an anti-monopolist critique of Big Tech that connects the rise of conspiratorial thinking to the rise of tech monopolies and proposes a way to deal with both:

If you're using the Admin Toolbar #Drupal module and want to give your users the permission to "use the administration pages and help", also activate the Admin Toolbar Links Access Filter sub module to hide the menu items of the administration pages the users don't have access to.

Since WhatsApp started exchanging data with Facebook, it's time to protect your privacy: use #Signal or #Threema to communicate without any corporation snooping around.

Using OpenVPN, one by one the Private Internet Access servers stopped working. Turns out they are updating their servers infrastructure and you need to get the new OpenVPN config files from their knowledge base.
