@lnxw48a1 interesting way of framing what I've been thinking of as a "dot joiner" for a while. -

Finally read up on the history of Myanmar/Burma. An unexpected diversion. -

libraries are such an important space
not only for free information, but especially for at risk populations and homeless populations
they offer free or very cheap internet access (which allows for finding resoucres, job applications, etc), free access to information, bathrooms, often places have refreshments for relatively cheap as well, etc. etc.
wanting to make public libraries obsolete is classist and just an incorrect viewpoint tbh

@maiyannah lol. Did think it could also be taken as Theresa May. -

@morph I've also been told seaweed is a good defence, due to the salt, so a trip to the beach is in order... -

@morph OMG you're the slug guru. Thank you so much! Saving that for reference. -

Get this in your head, free software isn't free if people can't use it. Lower the bars to adoption, help your community to install, or acquire services, don't just shame them for being unable to use Free Software. Bare lists of software that exists aren't nearly enough.
We already know there are shackles, we already know that keys to those shackles are somewhere else.
Instead, help people to navigate the complexity and difficulty of freeing themselves.

@sanspoint Should merge them all together into a hybrid face with 32 chomping mouths. -

Tired of endless discourse about certain topics that end up becoming grating and dragging your experience down?
Post about other things that you feel passionate about. You'll feel better, and people will be happy to see that in their stream, too.

@h Always ask you/them 'so what?' if someone is offering an opinion (politer versions exist, but it's the most straightforward way I know). Helps sort the practical/helpful input from the twaddle. -

Reading up on #forkedoff a bit, and feels like Mastodon has exactly the same problem as Twitter in that it doesn't know if it's a codebase, service, or culture. Compare to long term tech efforts which choose one, and decouple everything else. A protocol needs a tech spec/standard. A service needs a set of legal policies. A culture needs clearly defined values. Don't mix them up into one. -

"Facebook Gave Device Makers Deep Access to Data on Users and Friends"
Subtitle is even better:
"The company formed data-sharing partnerships with Apple, Samsung and dozens of other device makers, raising new concerns about its privacy protections.""
"...Facebook allowed the device companies access to the data of users’ friends without their explicit consent, even after declaring that it would no longer share such information with outsiders."
