@starbreaker hi, I run my blog at https://dataswamp.org/~solene/
It is about Unix or shell stuff :)

Happy GNU Year everybody!

If you didn't yet know, Google is datamining GMail etc for purchase confirmation emails amongst other things and aggregating it for their own purposes in an extremely detailed way.

(Everything you purchased with order ids, detailed billing details, VAT, including subscriptions etc)

Do not believe a single word about how this information is kept private. There is zero reason to build a system to aggregate this and then not use it to make money out of.

The f-droid.org website now **finally** displays antifeatures again.

As a bonus you can now search by anti features: https://search.f-droid.org/?q=NonFreeNet&lang=en

With that a happy new year to all! 🎉

#Mozilla, please don't do this. We don't want this. It might not be an "ad" but it makes you look bad nonetheless. Especially now given that #Firefox is the only non-Chromium browser out there, you need not alienate your user base.

Here's hoping this gets boosted enough. 😞

"We found that at least 61 percent of apps we tested automatically transfer data to Facebook the moment a user opens the app. This happens whether people have a Facebook account or not, or whether they are logged into Facebook or not."

@phessler I'm gonna write a Mastodon command-line client in C, because reasons. Mind if I use this Mastodon instance as a guinea pig?

We wish happy holidays to all Debian contributors, Open Source enthusiasts and to the rest of the world. Have a few relaxing days.

I love the video User Liberation on the meaning of #FreeSoftware . I'd like to embed it in the @agaric website. Is there a copy of it on #PeerTube somewhere?

Before the internet was widely available, virtually ALL of "online" was volunteer run (BBSes).

Commerce is not necessary for online community, and as far as I can tell it has only ever been a detriment.

Heh

Just banned a nazi right now. See its not hard.

pleroma.site registrations are open for the influx of new fediverse users.

please read our TOS, especially the part about media uploads and tagging adult content NSFW/Sensitive, as we take untagged content quite seriously.

beyond that, content and users of all non-extremist political ideologies are welcome here.

some advantages of using Pleroma instances verses Mastodon instances for tumblr users:

Markdown support (for post formatting)

Advanced post filtering

High personal customizability of the web client

You might also try kawen.space, or catgirl.science, which would also be good instances for Tumblr migrants.

Just donated to the #OpenBSD Foundation again, total of €1,730. It's amazing how many people continue to express their interest in using #OpenBSD and helping the project.

Thank you @mlarkin @reyk @cobracmder @oribernstein and all the others!
