Use this occasion to talk more about #OSM to people.

Use #OpenStreetMap16 in social media.

#SocialMedia / #Tech giants testifying before Congress is reason enough to make a concerted effort to maintain #privacy via your freedom of choice.

- use more trusted platforms
- decentralize when possible
- develop smaller, more cohesive networks
- elevate your message over their brand
- use platforms that use #encryption
- try platforms that avoid algorithms

I don't know about you, but I need a sanctuary.

A place where I can talk about nerdy stuff with a bunch of awesome nerds. No scary news. No political yelling. Just pure nerdiness.

"#Decentralize your data!" Move your private data off of public clouds. But where? Assessing different offline file storage methods, starting with your hard drive: https://uncentered.saigonist.com/decentralize-your-data-part-1.html #100DaysToOffload Day 5

In the news: "Internal Google Program Taps Data on Rival Android Apps"

Google loves to devour all the data it can so best to keep them as far away as possible from the properties that you own and control.
