I enjoyed watching Linus and Linus. LTT isn't always for me, but this episode, I think it might become one for the archives. Lots of puns and laughs.

Best moment: Linus Torvalds on LTT running a new Linux install where it says 'It's your operating system'. LTT adds, this has never been more true!

Go watch this one, it's a nice one. youtube.com/watch?v=mfv0V1SxbNA

Interesse in open source, #privacy en je afhankelijkheid verlagen van #BigTech?

Gisteren al gedeeld, maar voor zichtbaarheid deel ik hem nogmaals: we hebben een Signal-groep aangemaakt. Vooral voor het delen van tips, softwareopties en af en toe een gezonde discussie.

Wie een actieve chatgroep wel kan waarderen, is dus welkom in onze nieuwe Signal-groep (Nederlandse voertaal):

On decentralized information.. We need more independent Journalists, writers etc.

I have noticed a trend for bigger publication platforms to block articles until you login and/or pay (medium, the verge, big newspapers and so on). So, not all full articles can be accessed.

pewresearch.org/short-reads/20

I remember in the early days of blogging, we got a domain, hosting and started publishing.
We need more of that. Much more.

@frank People should read into his story. Still a lot of loose ends there. This good guy went away (passed) way too soon and.. under strange conditions!

The Verge is actually doing it. Actually connecting the dots between the fascistic tendencies of app stores with the profit motives of their proprietors.

FINALLY.

The open web has been roadkill in the profit games the mobile duopoly has set up, muscled out of view with policies and choices that were designed to leave no fingerprints. But we can all see it clearly now:

I replaced Windows with Linux and everything’s going great. Linux diary, chapter one: winging it. Regret level: none. theverge.com/tech/858910/linux

If you care for your privacy and safety and don't want to deal with mega corp obsessed with AI, Linux desktop is the right choice for you.

@josemurilo Well, we really should move towards decentralized solutions. I see my ISP starting to act dictatorial, and I'm NOT amused AT ALL!

So, dutch internetprovider www.ziggo.nl is now blocking the decentralized LEGITIMATE video website www.odysee.com and pretending it to be a Pirate Bay website?

Anyone else with Ziggo as their ISP not being able to go to odysee.com?

When the veil gets lifted.

161 partners! Really? And this is not a unique case.
If a website pretends to be about information with this many partners, to me it's motivation is sales and your business model is flawed.

If I see a cookie notice with this much partners and/or don't see a 'disagree' option right away, I'm gone. Websites like these are leaches. If this website ended today I couldn't care.

@wood5y Thanks! I have been using video download helper, which works good! But.. it does ask a lot of data to be accessed.

I will have a look at this one.

It keeps getting more interesting. It seems Paypal owns an extension called Honey and.. it's just as evil! It tells you (and me) all we need to know about Paypal.

Leave them!

So, Youtube is still using the 'Sign in to confirm' as a polite way to BAN people from watching video.

Just something to know if you use Youtube. This might start affecting your views over the long time.
Youtube isnt Youtube anymore.

Fk Paypal. Keeping my money, asking for unprotected ID documents. Criminals!

These types of companies need to be sued out of existence!!

I remember spacer.gifs, making rounded borders with tables and slicing sites with dreamweaver.

Been there. That early internet was wild, challenging and awesome!

So, when do people understand they all handed their storefront keys, and it seems this company can't handle all those keys, yet.. "you're" visitors/clients are outside trying to get in and can't

If i'm honest, the Cloudflare service never appealed to me.
