Since 2004, Facebook has never cared about the law or "social equities." Don't fall for it.

Zuckerberg suggests Congressional action now only because he is confident the result will serve him—modestly burdening the affluent Facebook, but totally crushing its upstart competitors. https://t.co/ZzmGPKoRuP

We pay to Steam, Netflix, Amazon prime, Spotify. But not to Wikipedia, Archive.org, Librivox, Project Gutenberg, for our favourite Linux distro.

The huge asymmetry between corporate and community has not emerged naturally. It is a product of our choices of not supporting community oriented projects.

The short conveniences vs the long-term good. We always chose the former.

In face of surveillance capitalism, we must and must change.

The Lord of the Rings: a story where the social elite coerce a trust-fund kid's hard-working gardener into shouldering global risks.

Before it's over, he has to physically carry his useless employer (and their jewelry collection) up an active volcano.

I really enjoyed chatting with @saronyitbarek and @joshpuetz for the #DevNews podcast this week. We talked about phone security, Freedom Phone, app store duopoly, and why I think modern phones are more like a nursing home than a walled garden. https://dev.to/devteam/activision-blizzard-discrimination-and-harassment-suit-the-incredible-gail-com-more-on-devnews-53j0

I created a table comparing the specs of 12 phones that can be bought with Linux preinstalled:

It is striking the difference between the amount of information that is publicly available for the PinePhone and Librem 5 compared to all the rest of the Linux phones that use Qualcomm Snapdragon and MediaTek Helio processors, which require NDA's to view their datasheets and don't allow the publication of schematics, because they are based on copyrighted reference designs.

Thank you, @amosbatto for believing in our mission 😎

"Purism is laying the foundation for future phones that are designed to avoid planned obsolescence and the monetization of users’ personal data, plus empower people so that they control the technology rather than letting the technology control them."
