The Greek government is accused of spying on journalists and politicians using Predator software.

But it's a EU-wide scandal: @irpinvestigates look at the companies involved and the role of Italy's surveillance industry.

@atomicpoet FOSS and adjacent cultures often have a weird blind spot where they are unable to distinguish between people making a modest living and rapacious corporations.

The fediverse needs to allow and encourage individuals and small businesses to discuss and promote, and sell their activities therein.

The alternative is the all too common model of well paid people doing evil all day in a day job and building something lovely at night for free. Which results in a net win for evil.

There was once a dream of a decentralised web.

As recently as a decade ago we had a still very active blogosphere, connected via blogrolls and RSS. Specialised web forums were still mainstream and messenger apps could largely interoperate.

Centralised social media slowly ate that dream. It had plenty of positives, but it pulled more and more people away from the open web and into corporate walled gardens.

Some people kept the dream of decentralisation alive. And now you are here.

A series of my favourite artworks of mine. These were painted digitally and inspired by shots from:

- the Art of Eliza;
- The gorgeous freely available shots from Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park's Flickr pages.

Credits for each park and photographer in the alt text of each shot.
