@awai Congratulations!

@aral We've been testing a *lot* of desktop GNOME apps here over the past few years and making incremental changes (for projects we are involved in) and otherwise made upstream suggestions when we aren't, to make things more adaptive. We started with the default apps we felt were crucial on a phone (like key items in Settings for instance) and continue to branch out.

@yaelwrites I only have my personal experience, but I recommend switching to an analog watch for 2 weeks and keep track of how many times you look at your watch, look away, and realize you don't know what time it is.

I was disturbed by just how much the notification endorphin rush had rewired my brain when I wore a smart watch. I only wear an analog one now.

If only Big Data companies could get drunk and lose all our personal data... ⁨#privacy⁩ https://gizmodo.com/amagasaki-personal-data-usb-lost-drunk-man-1849113016

@leimon @devrtz @trregeagle @purism Also Super-left/right and Shift-Super-left/right to tile windows and move between screens respectively, and Super-up to maximize (especially useful for windows you move back to the phone screen).

@chrichri @trregeagle @purism I also don't use it in tablet mode much. The main use case for me would be reading digital books and magazines, but I prefer the paper versions.

@Wildbill I booked a room to get there on Friday and leave Sunday.

Everything about ⁨#weaving⁩ this rug has been intimidating so far because of the giant scope of the project. For instance it took me almost four hours to wind the warp onto the warp beam. Threading the loom is next and it is equally daunting.

@th @yaelwrites As a famous Foreigner once said: "Don't stop blijven."

@bojkotiMalbona @batalanto @thornedu For what it's worth we'd like to offer TMobile as a network option when we can, it's just not possible at the moment.

@batalanto @thornedu All three US carriers collect and sell customer data, abuse privacy, and have plenty of other problematic practices, but they are the only choices for cellular networks in the US.

The goal with AweSIM and SIMple is to protect personally-identifying customer data from whatever upstream network the service happens to go over.

This model on Thingiverse for a Mason jar gumball machine was pretty simple to print and assemble and it works great. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5396111 #3dprinting

Securus buys location data from one data broker (3Cinteractive) who bought it from another broker (LocationSmart) who bought it from AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon. This abuse of customer data is why we made AweSIM. #privacy

Deputy US Marshal abused Securus phone tracking system to track personal contacts. Requested "all her [victim's] social media data, call history, text messages, and cell phone location data 24/7-365 without any restrictions". #privacy https://www.vice.com/en/article/k7bqew/us-marshal-securus-phone-location-tracked

This may not look like a rug, but it's the first step. The width and the density of the warp meant I had to measure out 1760 individual threads. The result after 5 1/2 hours was 10 warp chains ready to wind onto my loom. ⁨#weaving⁩

I guess my habit of turning off WiFi/BT on my #Librem5 with the hardware kill switch when I leave the house isn't just good for battery life: https://gizmodo.com/bluetooth-tracking-iphone-airtags-1849042375 #privacy #security

@Tay0@fosstodon.org I'm getting there!
