“[T]he ‘natural evolution of technology’ was never a thing to begin with, and it’s time to question what ‘progress’ actually means.”

I love #Linux. I fell asleep reading about the sudo security flaw, and woke up this morning with the patch ready to install! #opensource goodness!

Time to install some more software on my Librem 5.

This is fun. :)

It's easy to stop such spying: Use Tutanota. 😉

Any good alternative to Google groups ? It's for a friend of mine, @kaulian, who is looking to change the software used by the parents of his son's school. Maybe you know one @switchingsoftware ?

Delighted to see that #DeleteFacebook is becoming a thing once again

@aidalgol @moritzheiber They've just announced they'll take more money https://www.meetup.com/lp/paymentchanges

This is a true coincidence, because today is also the 1st beta release of #Mobilizon https://framablog.org/2019/10/15/mobilizon-lifting-the-veil-on-the-beta-release/

So let's thank MeetUp for giving us even more reasons to free our events from their walled garden !

#DidYouknow that #Purism contributes to several free #OpenSource software projects such as #GNOME, wlroots and #Debian? We've also made dozens of patches to the #Linux kernel (5.2, 5.1, 5.0, 4.20) for the #Librem5 and our other hardware https://puri.sm/posts/purism-linux-5-3/ #FOSS #LinuxKernel

@aral what's significant to me is that if this was truly their position -- with no caveats, with no political motives -- they could just as easily have said nothing. Instead, in the age of ICE contracts, they went out of their way to include this so that they would have something to point to when people asked why they were, idk, providing deployment tools to Palantir or some shit

@danarel @aral

If you don't want to self-host, @codeberg is worth considering. They are a German not-for-profit dedicated to free software and collaboration.
They offer free hosting and voluntary membership if you want to contribute.

@matt @danarel @aral
Yes, they are. They are also pretty involved in upstream development of Gitea itself, ie. contributing code back to the project and such.

@ck @danarel @aral @codeberg Looks like they run on Gitea, which I was going to say is a solid alternative: https://gitea.io

@aral @gitlab wow, this is shockingly bad.

Also, “we do not discuss politics in the workplace”? Which century are you living in? You can’t avoid politics! This is just gaslighting people into accepting the political positions of those in leadership under the guise of an apolitical stance.

Ok. I'm not *actually* dialing Jenny.

(Well, now that's gonna be stuck in my head all day.)

Dear @gitlab, after reading this, I am ashamed to be using your product:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/merge_requests/30656/diffs

We will stop using it as soon as we can manage to and I will stop recommending you to others. Unlike you, we don’t associate with folks incompatible with our values.

Shame on you.

What's for breakfast?

Coffee and Kill Switches, baby.
