This level of tracking of shoppers, even if it's to streamline checkout, is creepy. nytimes.com/2022/02/28/technol

@ehashman what was the downside of books which would make a dedicated stand better? Wondering if I should change my setup

I wonder what the internet would look like if the leading search engine prioritized indicators of stability and credibility rather than indicators of recency

@lukas@digitalcourage.social @Decentralize_today I hope Element or Fluffychat will become as easy to use and as performant as Signal. Unfortunately it is not there yet.

@hypolite @cstanhope @Hyolobrika@mstdn.io Personally, I am against what the protest became. They hurt the wrong people and a large enough subset were terrible to the local residents and unrelated institutions that it diluted any point that they may have had.

That doesn't change my assertion that there's a place for digital equivalent to cash, and bitcoin is provably not it. I used bitcoin from when there were no exchanges. It's possible, and worked.

If your local pharmacy is selling homeopathic remedies and magnetic bracelets to cure ailments, you might want to question whether their primary motivation is health or profit

@info_activism interesting article, but difficult to read using Firefox on a relatively modern tablet as the scrolling is very, very slow. A bit ironic for a "low tech" website.

Wow, after 25 years of Unix experience, I learned that you can filter output in #less.

Press ampersand (&) and enter a regex to show only lines matching the regex.

Press ampersand (&) and then exclamation mark (!) to apply an inverse filter.

F-Droid is an alternative app store for Android phones which only carries privacy-friendly free open source software. You can follow at:

➡️ @fdroidorg

Their site is f-droid.org

Google has made it a bit difficult to install F-Droid on a Google Android device. However, once it's been installed F-Droid is very easy to use.

Here's a guide for how to install it:

The wonderful #XMPP-client #dino now supports audio/video calls between two or more people! Especially now many of us are stuck at home, we need a way to collaborate & socialize in a privacy-friendly way. Dino uses the XMPP-protocol for decentralized communication and with an intuitive user interface, helps you reach out to friends, family and co-workers, both for larger groups with a server in the middle as well as private groups directly peer-to-peer -> dino.im/blog/2022/02/dino-0.3-

I also like Aral's "Three Lws of Personal Devices", which have always seemed self-evident to me but apparently aren't

You can call a friend or a group of people. Calls are e2e-encrypted, peer-to-peer and compatible with other XMPP applications.

Check out the new #streaming service #Resonate! It is a co-op owned by the artists and listeners – no VC money! It is still young and does not have #Spotify's massive catalog … but I love it!

I strongly encourage you to check out their About page to get a compact explanation of how it works: resonate.is/about/

Oh, and everything is #OpenSource and they have spent a lot of effort fostering a constructive community – it is a #coop after all.

What are you waiting for, sign up today (€10)!

FediTips has moved!  

You don't need to use link shorteners on Mastodon. All links count as 23 characters no matter how long they really are.

Also, links on Mastodon stay in the form you wrote them. This is much better for privacy than Twitter.

Twitter quietly changes all posted links to go via Twitter's domain t.co so they can track people. This doesn't happen on Mastodon or the Fediverse.

You can see this hidden conversion in Twitter by hovering your mouse over a link there, the link appears to show a normal address but Firefox and other browsers will indicate the true t.co address in the bottom left corner of the screen. If you try this same check on Mastodon or the Fediverse, you will see your links stay just as you wrote them.
