    @cosine It depends. If the distances are too big for a high gain wifi antenna then running fiber optic cable can sometimes be an option. I think there were a bunch of farmers on the Pennines who did that.

    @cosine Not really. Mesh networks are well suited for rural situations where the telcos won't go and where mobile broadband may be unavailable or unreliable.

    @nolan Mozilla is almost entirely funded by Google. Google is the puppetmaster. They could probably kill it if they wanted to, but avoiding antitrust rules is a factor they have to consider.

    @are0h As far as most people are concerned internet systems can only be run by Sillycon Valley geniuses with gigantic amounts of money. The idea that you can run your own systems is something which I expect never appears even as a concept within the mainstream media.

    I didn't realize that Yunohost's name comes from the meme.

    Anyone from #SocialCoop going to #CCC this year?

    IT-Kollektiv are trying to organize an #techcoops assembly at #34c3. They would like to have at least a meetup, but have space to do more. #coops #platformcoop

    @maiyannah @purplehippo I guess that would be Feb-Dec 2016. Before then it was mainly Quitter with most discussions being about Free Software or cycling.

    "Puppet of Russia" to describe Trump = instant mute from me.

    Fuck your war drums and your xenophobic "Resistance." 😡

    Can't you make your fucking point about the terrible shit he does daily without smearing an entire foreign country in the process? (Also, are you proud of losing to a guy you routinely depict as a helpless dupe?)

      Firefox is on a slippery slope
      from Drew DeVault’s Blog
      For a long time, it was just setting the default search provider to Google in exchange for a beefy stipend. Later, paid links in your new tab page were added. Then, a proprietary service, Pocket, was bundled into the browser - not as an addon, but a hardcoded feature. In the past few days, we’ve discovered an advertisement in the form of browser extension was sideloaded into user browsers. Whoever is leading these decisions at Mozilla needs to be stopped.

    @xj9 @skoll There seems to be a growing market for libre hardware. The Librem5 phone got over $2M in crowd-funding.

    @xj9 In theory under ideal conditions proprietary software could be morally ok. Someone could write it without backdoors or antifeatures and in a way which treats users fairly. In practice though whether proprietary software is screwing you over or not is usually unverifiable.

    Increasingly over time though proprietary software has become more egregiously immoral and simply a tool of social control or for extracting rents, and as a software developer I've seen that from the inside. The unethical aspects of proprietary development which I could see going on was one of the main factors which lead me to start using GNU/Linux in the early 2000s.
