    Move out of Apple and Google ecosystems

    Move to self-hosted services
    Run my own email servers

    Put only symmetrically encrypted data on Public and Corporate Clouds

    Move to #FreedomSoftware and #FreedomHardware once available/affordable

  4. Syncthing is awesome; also awkward. A better Syncthing would let me manage the options for all replicas of a folder in a unified view, from any device in the group. (Assuming I grant permission.) Likewise, let me manage multiple folders having mostly the same options across all of them. Right now I have to visit each replica separately, and review each folder. With 2 replicas of 2 folders it's tiresome and error-prone. With 3+ replicas of 3+ folders it's ridiculous. I need only a few options to differ across devices or folders, and I want to see those differences highlighted in the unified view.

  9. Freedom Software turns 40!

    Happy 40th #GNU (for yesterday)!

    Here in Australia its already 29 Sep, but we won't let that minor technicality get in the way. May the next 40 years of #freedomSoftware be better and more liberating than the last. Here is an interview with @rms showing how far we must still go.

    rt.com/shows/sophieco-visionar

    Many cheers to all that make #freedomRespectingSoftware, with a very special thanks to #RichardStallman, of course.

    Hip-hip horray.

  10. …You might already know about this, but h-node.org is a project by the @fsf that helps people to identify #computers that they can use.

    It can be pretty tricky to find #hardware that is #ethical but by running a basic command and checking the peripherals listed by their Vendor and Product IDs (that look like "[3fc2:001b]") one can often quickly identify if a device will be suited to them, as #FreedomSoftware Enjoyers.

    > I’m curious how many people find it useful(-cut)

    However you think the internet *should* be — that's how it is.

    > (…) to both block virtually all the large hosts and Cloudflare(-cut)

    You say "large hosts" like they are just 'large hosts', and not monopolistic, fascist entities, that suppress, repress, marginalise, and hypnotise.

    > (…) and use Linux and Tor?

    What is wrong with Linux and Tor? Why did you even join fedi? It sounds like #freedomSoftware is not for you.

  16. #introduction

    I fight for the users.

    I love programming and thinking and talking about thinking. I have an education (BS, MS, PhD) focused on artificial intelligence and neuroscience.

    I'm an advocate of the public academic pursuit of knowledge, the scientific process, peer review, and I see open source software and hardware as an essential part of the scientific process.

    I see software user rights, including security and privacy, to be protected mainly by free open source software, specifically software with a copyleft license, i.e. GPL or Mozilla.

    I see the democratizing effects of the Internet, including distributed journalism and social networking, to be largely the effect of the collaborative development of free and open source software.

    I am interested in free and open source manufacturing, including open source 3D printers and CNC machines. I believe open source manufacturing will be important for distributed manufacturing, allowing local manufacturing and local labor.

    I see worker-owned coops as the way to safely transition from a non-democratic authoritarian top-down power structure of a traditional corporation to a democratic work environment, where the workers own the company and elect the board of directors, transitioning to democracy in the workplace.

    I believe that socialism is a regulatory response to capitalism.

    I believe that laws, money, corporations, and government are social agreements, and I'm in favor of democratic social agreements.

    I believe in the organized non-violent boycott as a way to control capitalists and change corrupt systems.

    I am a pacifist. I am against violence. I am against citizens keeping guns in cities and towns with children. I am against war.

    I try to eat plant-based / vegan foods to boycott the animal industry, to help with the climate crisis, to improve my health, to avoid animal cruelty, and to avoid the extinction of species of plants, animals and ecosystems.

    I have been diagnosed with Retinitus Pigmentosa, which is a disease of progressive retinal degeneration. I am legally blind, although I have about 5-degrees of vision remaining in my fovea. I'm interested in researching and developing BCIs (Brain-Computer Interfaces), specifically BCIs that function as vision prostheses that may help with conditions like RP, or the more common degenerative retinal disease AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration).

    I enjoy playing computer games like Age of Empires and Rimworld. I used to program computer games when I was younger and would like to get back to it one day.

    I love playing music, especially bass guitar. I've been listening to a lot of Rage Against the Machine and Enya recently.

    I enjoy reading books, mostly non-fiction.

    I enjoy studying religions. I've found a lot of value in Buddhism, and I meditate often daily.

    Nina and I have recently had our first baby, a boy we call Tyoma.

    I'm currently working at Brain Computer Enterprises, Cooperative Inc. on FOSH assistive consumer electronics.

    I'm sober.

  32. If everyone in #GNULinux and #FOSS was an unencumbered #whiteHat, #Microsoft wouldn't have existed beyond 2017, possibly sooner.

    It's clear that #blackHats exist in the #freedomSoftware space.

    How can we expect blackHats to gain knowledge on whiteHats and to inhibit them? Universities? MSGitHub? #LinkedIn? CloudFlare'd services?

    Our thinking is 'all of the above', but the most effective tools hide in plain sight — #MSLinkedIn and #MSGitHub.

    Use them at your eventual peril.

    Our thinking is 'all of the above', but the most effective tools hide in plain sight — #MSLinkedIn and #MSGitHub.

    Use them at your eventual peril.

  34. If everyone in #GNULinux and #FOSS was an unencumbered #whiteHat, #Microsoft wouldn't have existed beyond 2017, possibly sooner.

    We should make "freedom software" the standard term, so that one doesn't have to constantly specify that the "free" in "free software" stands for "freedom" and does not necessarily imply absence of monetary charge.

    Or maybe standardize "libre software"?

    Agree that we should decouple "freedom software" from the depoliticizing term "open software", maybe we should ditch the term "FOSS" that deliberately obfuscates their fundamental differences.

  41. She may look like the #JulieAndrews of the #EU, but Ex-defense Secretary #UrsulaVonDerLeyen seems to have the hallmarks of a 'wolf in sheep's clothing'.

    We might take her so-called #grassroots green agenda more seriously if she mandated that the EU representatives cannot not use airTravel in any part of their duties.

    Such a move would also favour the #freedomSoftware movement in ways that might not seem immediately obvious.

  42. If only the #freedomSoftware defenders could do to CAGEFAM and other #technoFascists, what Russia is doing to #NATO.

    Maybe we would be able to push the tidal wave of turd back a tonne.

    We are happy to learn that TruthSocial will be respecting #AGPLv3 and will be freeLicense and openSource.

    We might cry.

    This is a huge leap forward for what it means to use a computer and a network.

    Despite past concerns and or misunderstandings (and probably future ones) we would like to thank #MastodonDevs and @Gargron for all the work they've done to date, and all #Fedizens generally.

    This is one small step for #Trump — but one giant leap for #freedomSoftware.

  44. Please remember that when Trump was caught stealing #Fediverse software, the #legacyMedia said he was attacked by hackers.

    They made #Trump the f&cking victim!

    Please keep this at the forefront of your mind. A sign on the fridge to remind you how great our plight is.

    Draw signs with permanent marker on corflute to advertise #Fediverse, #GNULinux, and other #freedomSoftware you love. Attach them to your vehicle whereever you park it.

    Time to rise.

  45. At the back of our minds please remember that when #Trump was caught stealing #Fediverse software, the media said he was attacked by hackers and brought down.

    Please, please f&cking remember this.

    Put a sign on your fridge to remind you of how scared they are of us.
