51 years after Roe v. Wade affirmed abortion rights, the fight rages on. We demand free, safe, and accessible abortion for all. Check out related titles at pmpress.org.

Current state of the 🌎 shows how important it is that the 📱 in our pockets can stay free of surveilance and be used as their users intend to, not any corporation.

This is even more motivation to hack on #phosh and #LinuxMobile

✨ #opensource is amazing, episode 67,265:

2 months ago (precisely) I was complaining about #codeberg displaying irrelevant issue previews on social media.

I opened an issue, then @mfenniak opened a fantastic PR about it as his first contribution to #forgejo , and after a respectful review, it was merged for v10.0 which was released some days ago, and deployed to Codeberg.

And you can see the result right here: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/6043

Another month, another conference.

#libobscura will be a topic at #FOSDEM !

https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-6184-libobscura-cameras-are-still-difficult/

I'll dive a bit deeper into the mobile side of the camera problem compared to my #ccc38 talk. If I have time left, there will be a quick demo of #Prolog-driven capability querying :D

Many people in our community's Facebook group are extremely disenchanted with Zuckerberg's decision to remove all constraints on misinformation mongers.

I'd like to see WordPress.org -- or someone who wants to make some money -- create a plugin that replicated the functionality of a private Facebook group.

Include the FB UX as one option, but make it more flexible if desired.

Welcome home Leonard Peltier and it’s still fuck Joe Biden.

I wonder if an Online Safety Act Small Sites Hackathon would be worthwhile.

A group of interested people collaborating on toolkits and tooling to help small sites comply with Parts 3 and 5.

Risk assessment tools.

FOSS age assurance tools (if possible).

That kind of thing.

Some of us are doing stuff, but it feels siloed.

#OnlineSafetyAct

With #mangoMussolini taking the helm of #usPol today I've opted not to rant into the void but to raise the voices of others. To that end I chose today to start or renew memberships of organisations that do that well:

USA:
* @pmpress
* AK Press https://akpress.org

Australia:
* @3CRMelbourne ("Yeah, Nah, Pasaran!")
* 3ZZZ (#esperanto language radio)
* Jura Books
* New International Bookshop (NIBS)

It's not much but it helps. More suggestions welcome.

#Breaking President Joe #Biden has commuted the life sentence of Indigenous activist Leonard #Peltier who was convicted in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents. Peltier will transition to home confinement, Biden said in a statement.

11 years ago Klint Finley laid out how neo-reactionary thought was taking hold in Silicon Valley

"many professionals, rather than admit to their role in gentrification, wealth disparity and job displacement, are casting themselves as victims. "

It remains an an amazing primer

Better than that horseshit NYT interview of "intellectual" Curtis Yarvin

If you want to stick it to the fascists, help houseless people. Help immigrants. Help abortion seekers.

If you want to confront the powerful, you need a coalition. To build a coalition, you need to demonstrate that having you as an ally is more of an asset than a liability. This means doing your best while learning how to do better.

We are in a time of monsters. The challenges will not cease, nor will the opportunities. There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.

#MutualAid

Donald Trump is threatening to begin his second presidency with a new round of gratuitous violence targeting undocumented families.

In 2017-2018, people around the US blockaded airports, freeways, and ICE facilities. There were school walkouts, demonstrations, and barricades.

There are things we can do to resist. Let's stand up for each other.

Twitter/X is right wing controlled.

Meta (Instagram, Threads, Facebook) is right wing aligned.

TikTok is aligning itself with Trump.

Crypto-centric decentralized platforms are right wing aligned (the jury's out about whether crypto-funded ones are too).

Major newspapers are aligning themselves around the right wing.

Whoever controls the narrative has the ability to obfuscate and overwrite the truth.

The Fediverse is more important for freedom than ever before.

This panel from a comic I drew in June 2024 has aged pretty well.
