I'm all-in on the #fediverse and have announced my departure from Twitter (for the like three people who actually care). Let's see how this goes! 🙂
For those in the US celebrating July 4th, consider declaring your independence from online tracking and the harms it brings (filter bubbles, discrimination, manipulation, etc.).

Google has a shady competition & data protection past. Now it wants to buy @Fitbit.
Add your voice and demand that the @EU_Commission blocks this deal!

Day 60 of the #100DaysToOffload Series:
Yesterday @kev wrote an article about how email is not broken. Rarely is he just so wrong.
RT @arvidkahl@twitter.com
Genius. They wrote a script to make a PDF look like it's printed, signed, and then scanned again. Because digital signatures are still not accepted in many places while a signed and scanned printout is.
This is hacking bureaucracy. I love it!

Day 58 of the #100DaysToOffload series:
Just whining. Don't mind me.
If #Google knew everything about you, they would’ve stopped listening to everything you say.
Look no further than your #email system for today’s #surveillancesaturday.
If you know that your #GMail & others are data-mined, is it entirely “on them” that your #privacy is undermined?
Be an active participant in your goal to remain private.
Avoid #surveillancecapitalism by choosing to make (sometimes difficult) decisions. Give your money to better companies with products that respect you more.
@adalbertsen Aye, I've been trying it on a spare phone, and overall I like where they are going. But you are very correct, given they are not FOSS, I expect they are gathering at least some data. However, they are based I'm Germany, as far as privacy laws go, and intend to sell the final launcher product... so I'm hopeful they'll stay away from ads and aggressive data capture. The privacy policy is posted in German, so I have not translated it yet...
Day 56
Today @markosaric 's plausible review.
#introductions Hey everyone, I'm taking my first stab at this Fediverse thing. I am a developer interested in a variety of languages, particularly #scala, #typescript, #golang, #haskell, etc.
I have been using Linux as a daily driver for a few years now, currently using #gentoo.
I'm a huge fan of decentralization and self hosting. I'm currently working on a personal website with a blog attached @Zambyte and I'm working on DApps using the #algorand blockchain.
