#Librem5 @stulinden@librem.one

I attended a SXSW 2024 session titled “AI and Privacy” yesterday and was under the impression that the discussion was going to be about AI the threat to privacy.

Although the subject matter was addressed by the panel somewhat, the discussion seemed to be more focused on how an alarm company partnered with Google protects their alarm customer’s personal information if the customer does not consent to Google’s data collection business practices.

I see a lot of people talking about how Mastodon "Feels like the Internet I remember from 20 years ago."

That's no accident. That's Federation. That's UseNet, IRC, Email, Message Boards, etc. What do they all have in common?

Federation: Users congregating around watering holes of common interest, but still being a part of a larger whole.

THIS IS HOW THE INTERNET WAS DESIGNED TO BE. And I am HERE for it.

Many of the journalists Elon suspended today on Twitter are here on #Mastodon. Please follow and boost:
