Given that we're in a time where toilet paper people are going "oh my goodness I have to buy up all the toilet paper before SOMEONE ELSE buys it!" I think it's time we had a full and frank discussion about bidets, bum sprayers and other more effective ways of keeping yourself clean.
The truth is that of all the most common methods around to clean your bum, toilet paper is the most expensive, uncomfortable, unhygienic and environmentally unfriendly. Alternatives follow in next toot.

I want to live in a world where "what if the internet goes down" is like "what if the freeway is closed". We should still be able to network with our families, neighbors, and communities, and I think it's a mistake to depend on the Internet for those things.
Working on SSB has been really eye-opening to see how much we can do with software that's DIY / P2P / E2E / friend2friend, and I'm really optimistic that we can build and organize small friendly networks that never truly go down. ❤

Schools need to slam the brakes on surveillance and think about what kind of dystopia they’re creating for their students. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/02/schools-are-pushing-boundaries-surveillance-technologies

Someone is trying to build a #language learning app like #duolingo, but it's free software. Maybe you want to help out?: https://github.com/kantord/LibreLingo https://librelingo.app/ #librelingo
@mhoye could use more detail on the tooling, as well as what actions a user who gets blocked can take to get unblocked.
From the post, this doesn't sound much different than the shared blacklists of email, which has loads of issues.

@Gina "what not to do" is still very valuable. Looking forward to whatever updates you can provide!
@Gina the abstract of the talk you were going to give had a massive number of interesting things you've tripped over in one way or another
@Gina totally get the lazy part. Still haven't been able to consistently blog things for similar reasons.
Maybe a fediverse message of "tried this today and it was terrible/awesome" would be light-weight enough for us to know where the journey is taking you.
@write_as is there any possibility of write.as being a more first-class citizen in the fediverse? That is, I'd like ActivityPub responses to blog posts to appear below the blog post, and able to reply to them from the blog account directly, similar to what most WordPress blogs seem to do, but in a truly federated fashion.

Not being on Facebook doesn't mean that you are free from their surveillance and tracking!

The Smithsonian announced today that they have released 2.8 million images into the public domain (CC0 license). In celebration of this I made a bot you can follow that will post one random image from the set every 8 hours:
