They Know What You Watched Last Night
Recent deals involving the media conglomerate AT&T, the streaming device seller Roku, the advertising giant Publicis and other companies have expanded the surveillance infrastructure that operates in the background of streaming services. While viewers focus on the action onscreen, tracking technology quietly sops up information about their habits and uses it to target them with more relevant, traceable ads. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/25/business/media/streaming-data-collection-privacy.html #privacy #security
Supplying the Demand - An update on Librem 5 shipping https://puri.sm/posts/supplying-the-demand/ #Purism #Librem5
@sobercatholic@rcsocial.net I saw Saint John Paul II once. It was at the final Mass at World Youth Day in Toronto in 2002, even though I didn’t qualify as a “youth” anymore.
I was standing by a group of Polish pilgrims, and helped them hold their banner. They were definitely excited. We were in the middle of 800,000 people.
I remember the pope’s words (English ones at least). It is definitely an experience I’ll continue to remember
@purism I use all Librem One services. The biggest change for me is using Librem Chat to talk to friends and family, instead of Apple Messages and SMS.
Librem Social is my first foray into Mastodon.
Love Librem Tunnel too!

Installing and running the complete, unmodified LibreOffice on the #Purism #Librem5 #Linux #smartphone
Holy smokes.
LibreOffice runs on the Librem 5!
AND IT WORKS.
Saving files, opening files, typing... the UI is a bit cramped (it's a desktop app on a phone)... but hot-diggity! It works!

Giving users the power to moderate their own feeds is the key. Centralized moderation will always be flawed--a company can never represent your sensitivities as well as you and your peers (and will likely bow to outside pressure to censor, whether it's China or groups of users).
