According to @Washingtonpost, Oregon police are broadly using Amazon’s “Rekognition” face recognition tech—even for the lowest level crimes—but they won’t disclose it in arrest reports so suspects & defendants don’t know about it, & its use isn’t audited. washingtonpost.com/technology/

On this International Worker's Day, ask your friendly American friends if they have ever heard of the Haymarket affair.

(This is the Haymarket memorial in Chicago, and the two American friends who happened to be with us when I took the picture had not heard of it.)

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea behind LibremOne from @purism. We, the decentralized internet advocates, are quite far with the tech. What we desperately need is a touch of marketing, bundling, and consumer-friendliness. #LibremOne is doing exactly that. Bravo, and I hope them the very best of success.

@jeremiah_
that seems to be irelevant to the critic.
framasoft, to make a counter example as everything as "their" software stack, incl. having every service they offer branded as "frama..." and still explain what software they use to do so, educate and sometimes aso help to fund it's development.

#framasoft is an organisation that works on education, development, funding and hosting of #freesoftware.

For their hosting they have their own software stack, and branded them as frama...

For every service they offer, they explain what software they have used to do so.
They do this also when they changed parts of the code and when they have their own branding.

Sometimes they also help to fund the development as they did for #peertube.

That's the kind of freesoftware culture I love!

and see, how much they have to offer:

While I publicly applaud and support the efforts from @purism to deploy and run services' platform, I think there are some valid concerns that need some public clarification: upstream projects not explicitly mentioned (not everybody will go check commits sent upstream) or features explicitly removed that hurt interoperability (mastodon reports or public/fed timeline) to name two. IMHO if that information is not ready/curated, public launch should have been delayed.

LibremSocial és Mastodon però capat. No té ni línia de temps local ni línia de temps federada. No es poden fer missatges directes.
No entenc què pretenen els de Purism amb un Social que no ho és.

Any recommendation of email webclient? I just have experience with roundcube but I don't know if there's something else around. I'd want something that's also mobile-friendly
