How dare this guy blithely associate one of the most ruthlessly authoritarian state-corporate regimes in human history with "anarchy"? This is #doublethink at it's finest:

It's totally routine for businesses to deploy Wordpress or Drupal without giving any prominent credit to those projects. GNU/Linux distributions include hundreds of pieces of other people's software in their branded product, nobody bats an eyelid. It's totally normal for web apps like Mastodon to include upstream components without users being any the wiser. What is it about @purism that makes some people so keen to bash them for doing the same?

@Blort

@taoeffect by the same token, if you don't know, and you willingly admit you don't know, you're braver than a lot of people.

> planning strategies to prevent contact with people from OUTSIDE the building

Like not having staff in the prison, or not letting prison staff go home? Also, are you proposing putting every prisoner in solitary until the pandemic is over? Think it through.

@Blort true, perhaps these projects need to switch to proprietary #SourceAvailable licenses, to prevent Purism from pioneering a non-#datafarming business model for network services, using only #FreeCode software, in ways that comply with their current software licenses to the letter?
</sarcasm>

@aeveltstra it's a 2 year old article, I posted the quote mainly for the optimistic take that #GDPR was going to kill the #datafarming business model.

"While some cities are working to release pretrial detainees and people convicted of nonviolent technical crimes, legal groups and #HumanRights organizations are sounding the alarm bells on what could be a horrifying aspect of the #coronavirus #pandemic hitting people who are literally prevented from social distancing."

This list of community-hosted #CodeForge instances, which I've been curating on the #P2PF wiki, now has more than 50 entries. Additions and corrections welcome:

Have you considered hosting an instance of #Plume, so folks can read and comment on your blog posts from within the #fediverse, as well as on the web?

@sean I just read your 2017 review of v3 of the #Librem15 laptop:
https://medium.com/@deadsuperhero/the-price-of-freedom-a-review-of-the-librem-15-v3-901035cec575

How is it performing a couple of years later? Still happy with the purchase?

In a way, the shipping delays have actually worked in favour of the #PinePhone project. By the time the next production run is ready to begin, the performance of the OS ports for the device will be much further ahead than it would have been on the original schedule. I would probably wait until Christmas before buying one for a grandparent though, to give the OS devs even more time to polish their offerings.

"In Europe, it's likely that you're going to start seeing much more modal, intrusive consent dialogs when visiting a site. Don't blame the publishers, they're acting at gunpoint and facing a cartel. But know this: nothing forces you to consent. They are not allowed to lock you out if you refuse. There's only one thing you need to do: Just Click No."

"Regulation or not, now that #Safari has brilliantly demonstrated that it is possible to get rid of third-party #tracking without breaking the Web it is only a matter of time before other browsers will have to stop being complicit in violating the privacy of their users. Sure enough tracking companies are desperately attempting to fight back with nasty hacks, but those are just the agonising throes of a dying breed. It's over."

"We can take back control of our personal data by storing data in our own data pods. The spread of misinformation can be halted, because a free choice of applications allows us to influence our news feed—and all information in there can be traced back to its source. Political advertising becomes more transparent, as we can decide which parts of our data we expose to whom; moreover, the separate data and services markets allow us to consider other options that are not based on advertising ..."

No worries 😂 It's an elegantly simple #UX once you get your head around it. A really well thought out design all round. Because the #Guppe server only boosts posts that mention its group users, rather than storing posts itself, I imagine an instance is fairly @lightweight to run (pardon the pun)

@rick_777 I prefer to think of it as community sufficiency. In times like this, the wisdom of providing for most our needs from our local #bioregion becomes much easier to appreciate.

Please consider signing this #ActionStation petition calling on the #NZ government to to make sure every #kiwi is securely housed during level 4 restrictions. They have proposed a series of measures, including having the government buy unoccupied houses for conversion into #PublicHousing:

@lightweight that's great, if you could mention @RemoteLearning when you post about that sort of thing, anyone following the #Guppe group will get the posts in their feed.
