Where's the best analysis (especially legal) of a president posting public communications from a platform he owns / has a profit interest in / controls access/terns to?
#GivingTuesday may be done, but the work for freedom and autonomy with mobile devices is definitely not -- a great way to support that work is by making a donation to @fdroidorg : https://f-droid.org/2024/12/03/giving-tuesday.html

Time for an #introduction... again!
My name is Christine Lemmer-Webber, I'm co-author/co-editor of the ActivityPub standard which connects together the fediverse (Mastodon, Peertube, Sharkey, GotoSocial, etc). In other words, I'm one of several people who worked on the specification by which you're getting this very message!
I'm also Executive Director of the Spritely Institute! We're making next-generation decentralized tech https://spritely.institute
I moved here from @cwebber@octodon.social! Hello again!

To my surprise, the Track Change podcast is not about document collaboration catastrophes.
Never thought I would have an opinion about club soda, but Food Lion is the worst club soda. All the other ones, probably fine.
