Don't buy them: it infringes my moral right (https://davidrevoy.com/article864/) and they added CC-By compliance just now after fans noticed.

While I'm sending out reminders for my various co-op pipe dreams: anyone want to start an #XMPP server run as a platform co-op? We've got a mailing list and chat room, but we need a wider skill set represented before we can reasonably get started! DM me for details! #coops

Today's irritation is an electric toothbrush that needs a new battery, and there's no way to open it non-destructively.

@snikket_im

if your looking for a simple to setup complete messaging product , then I cannot recommend Snikket enough .

*Simple setup for video calls and instant messaging
*Brilliant docs
*Great advice/support from the team on the chat group

If your thinking of self hosting an XMPP server this should be your first stop .

A Linux distribution with the /e/ ecosystem and Android applications. Nice review at @TechRepublic

"This is truly something no other Linux "cloudified" desktop has ever achieved and it's pretty amazing."

Never indicate semantic differences with only color. Always use the trifecta of color, shape, and text. This way, people who can't distinguish colors see shapes and people who can't see shapes can hear text.

Add texture where that's possible.

"If it's free, you are the product" stopped being true once the rest of the companies saw how much money there was in selling customer data. Now you are the product regardless of whether you pay.

Well, there it is: Block view-source, block save page, on track to be accepted in to Chrome.

Centralised messenger Signal has just announced that they are making part of their server software closed source. They claim it is to fight spam, but by using closed source they make it impossible for outsiders to verify the truth. This is worrying.

We really, really need a fully open, decentralised alternative to Signal.

There are several alternatives being developed, please support them:

➡️ @xmpp

➡️ @matrix

Can you imagine how many years of email admin lives would be saved and how simpler their lives would be if people simply did not send emails to #gmail and #hotmail ????

google and microsoft are like two of the biggest offenders when it comes to email, bullying smaller services. And yet every email sysadmin has to work to comply with google and MS rules.

thanks zoom, now please use jitsi everyone

I find it super frustrating how well constructed #Google #privacy PR is. They are masters of taking one little problem, making an a solid privacy improvement to it, then using it to distract people from their giant surveillance capitalism machine. Something like that is only a privacy improvement for people who are fully in Google's ecosystem. Switching to using Google Fi encrypted calling would be a net privacy loss.

End-to-end encryption is what makes a digital message truly private, read only by its intended recipient. https://ssd.eff.org/en/node/50

Thoughts about reading

When I was a child I got interested in reading, books, politics, science and the world because all this topics where present in my home. Every morning a newspaper arrived at our home and was lying on the table, accessible for everyone. Every month additional magazines my parents subscribed to arrived and if I walked into the home office of my parents I found shelves of books about various topics.
This way I started to read the newspaper, the magazines got interested in various topics and started to read books.
I wonder if we lose these natural way of discovering all this stuff these days? My daily newspaper is a online subscription I read on my smartphone or tablet, same is true for the magazines I subscribed to. Regarding books, more and more books are ebooks which only exists in my ebook reader or as ebub file in a folder of my computer. https://social.schiessle.org/display/3bdd55ed-6261-7c66-6a7c-4c3780303596
