@pwaring So what OS are you going to install?

@dumpsterqueer Well said.

@dumpsterqueer Also, while we have your attention: there is no "cloud".

Thank you tobi for writing both bugs and truth.

@le_friwi_56 As an adult with dyslexia, thank you for your efforts! You made a much bigger difference than you'll ever know.

@eff The battle for data control continues but in the EU and USA; thanks for keeping us informed.

@dansup Nice work, whoever did the site design!

This is what the novel "Frankenstein" was about. We never learn.

So now that we have realistic AI-generated human video with realistic voices, what happens when one of them says publicly "I'm being held against my will and I want to hire an attorney."?

Just made my annual donations to @linuxfoundation, @fsf, and @torproject. Let's all do our part to keep digital freedom alive.

The European Commission's "ProtectEU" strategy aims to address internal security threats but threatens digital rights by promoting #surveillance measures like #encryption backdoors and increased data retention.

It also seeks to strengthen agencies like Europol and Frontex, despite their abusive histories.

Thanks to #EDRi for their ongoing efforts to protect Europeans’ digital rights.

While I'm bugging the #hivemind for feedback and ideas: Who can recommend a good #passwordManager for a #LinuxMint and #Debian user? I'll repay your wisdom with virtual #highfives and a #follow if you're so inclined.

@moribundo Tiling would make everything so much easier.
