#smalltech — Public Fediverse posts

2 days with my #Fairphone running #e_os and I can do ALL of my essentials (and more) in life without Google. For the handful of apps trying to send analytics data to Google, it's refreshing to see how the Advanced Privacy is blocking all of those connections.

Folks, it's time to #degoogle Big Tech has exploited us long enough.

🥳 New Kitten¹ Release

Fixed:

• (Possible regression?) Value referencing during database event logging (see 2026-04-02 release²) was broken. This is now fixed.

Enjoy!

Just made a little correction to the JavaScript Database (JSDB) Table Events section:

Previously, the example that listens for the JSTable.PERSIST event was erroneously stating that the table was deleted when the `type` property in the event handlers parameter object was JSTable.DELETE. It now correctly states that the value at `keypath` was deleted.

I also documented the JSTable.PERSIST types so they wouldn’t be confused with the JSTable event types (persist and delete; the latter of which does actually signal that the table – i.e., the append-only JavaScript log – was deleted.

📢 New blog article

This article explores several complementary definitions of #SmallTech and #HumanTech (frugal, sovereign and open), their pros and cons when implemented individually, and proposes a sustainable approach at the intersection of them.

It advocates for more direct connections between users and developers, for tools with a specific purpose rather than big platforms with ever-increasing scopes, for localized rather than one-size-fits-all global solutions, and for a “local pub” approach opposed to the McDonald’s approach.
