Should all #data be freely traded?

Good news for all those waiting for #pinetime and #pinecube dev kits - They are available the the Pine Store (http://store.pine64.org).

NB. The PineTime now ships with @codingfield's FOSS InfiniTime firmware!

Oh no.
So the Giga-CDN that MITMs most of the internet now automatically sends a copy of your site for archival?

Some bad news for folks who are fans of #uMatrix. It's being archived and no longer being developed :
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uMatrix-issues/issues/291#issuecomment-694988696

Can't say I didn't see this coming since maintaining a plugin, particularly as an open source project, is often a thankless job with many personal down sides

I hope it can still continue, if not as uMatrix, then as something else. I really don't like to fiddle with uBlock Origin to get the same functionality

Exciting news! The fine folks at Safing launched an AMA on our Subreddit and will be fielding your questions over this weekend! Check it out, live now at https://www.reddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/iv6mca/we_are_safing_a_forprivacy_counterculture_company/

you know, after using a couple #gemini browsers i'm starting to really form a new opinion on one part of article design

i think

- resizing the window to select a good line length is stupid
- authors trying to set the line length to a value they've tested out as good is also stupid
(much less including the exact font they tested with so this won't break)

- there should be a zoom scale in gemini browsers to set line length in em for each page, exactly the way zoom works

Another one!

Recently, we removed Firefox Send because of security concerns and they took the service down. Today, they announced Send is dead.

We will also be removing Lockwise because Mozilla keeps killing projects after adoption, causing headaches for users.

Someone is trying to build a #language learning app like #duolingo, but it's free software. Maybe you want to help out?: https://github.com/kantord/LibreLingo https://librelingo.app/ #librelingo

Follow recommendation for all the #FuckOffGoogle'rs and #DeleteFacebook'ers:

Their motto is "self host all the things!" which is obviously a great way to stay away from #GAFAM.

Among many many other things they host #invidious #nitter and #bibliogram. Three services to access content from #Youtube, #Twitter and #Instagram without sending any data to #Google, #Twitter or #Facebook.

Kim Kardashian and others boycotting #Instagram *by not posting for 24 hours*.

You're doing it wrong.

From Tristan Harris, co-founder humanetech.com:

"The Social Dilemma" has completely popped and gone viral:

#3 in Top Movies in U.S. across Netflix.
#6 in Top 10 across all Netflix categories.

Best way you can help spread the word: Host a screening with friends who are less likely to hear about the film.

The film makes concepts of #surveillancecapitalism and #privacy infringement we all know about, accessible to a broader public, in a way they feel impact personally.

I'm envisioning platform for facilitating quality online debates between people from competing perspectives. The process would start with a series of text-based exchanges. After the debaters have (hopefully) gained a deeper understanding of each other's thinking and got the usual strawmen and sabre-rattling out of the way, a live debate could be scheduled. It could be held using video conferencing or, if possible, in person. It would be livestreamed, as well as publishing recordings.

Which #license do you use for your open source projects? Why? 🤔
