@dallin Do you have a guide on how to install an alternative OS on a device?

When we consider what it's like to be "hacked", we should also consider that the companies we happily allow to access our personal #data are just as nefarious as those we fear.

I'm so sorry to say it, but today @linuxjournal closed down for good. As you can imagine we are all so sad that this is the end. You can read my final goodbye here:

@Yoric I replaced Dropbox with @nextcloud and have been very happy. Works the same but you have total control

Have you seen this list of alternatives to Amazon's offerings? Not all entirely free/open, but definitely some options to say "not Amazon"

@GoatsLive
I have not seen anything different. Do I have a nasty surprise coming?

@kyle I understand what you mean. We have pricey gas in NV (not as bad as CA, but still . . . ) and part of the fun of road trips is the cheap gas everywhere else.

The reason I've long called them #listeningdevices and people who buy these (for selves or a 'gift' to someone) deserve public shaming and isolation from civilised society (until they throw these bugs away) https://www.cnet.com/news/amazon-alexa-keeps-your-data-with-no-expiration-date-and-shares-it-too/

15 years ago, EFF's @doctorow told Microsoft:

1. That DRM systems don't work

2. That DRM systems are bad for society

3. That DRM systems are bad for business

4. That DRM systems are bad for artists

5. That DRM is a bad business-move

He was right.

@dallin Agree and understand. However: I would rather purchase CDs and DVDs, rip them myself, and then decide what to do with the physical media than deal with DRM.
