Huge supporter of federated social networks, FOSS etc. Got some visibility through my blogpost on beating Fb w/federation. Green Party! Hi Identi.can folks!
About halfway trough transcribing the fantastic talk 'How to break the Internet, destroy democracy and enslave the human race (or not)', by Cory Doctorow.
When It's done, you'll find it + more talks here: corydoctorow.miraheze.org
In the meantime, watch it here: https://corydoctorow.miraheze.org/wiki/How_to_break_the_Internet,_destroy_democracy_and_enslave_the_human_race_(or_not) https://octodon.social/media/yULKaAf5prcz8XYsPbM
Wow! This is truly amazing! France is thinking of making companies liable for the security of their products, and _release the source code_ after end of life!
Along with other Nice Things™. Check it:

@tomasekeli Hei. Vet ikke om du vet at det er sånn her tweetene dine ender opp med å se ut her. Kanskje du kan finne en bedre måte å koble sammen Twitter og Mastodon? Skrive dem her og sende dem til Twitter istedenfor omvendt, f.eks.? Det er nok ihvertfall neppe vits å fortsette sånn her, sannsynligvis ingen som klikker linkene :)

I completed #SteamWorldDig today! Not often I play a game trough to the very end. Small, fun, pretty causual game, and available DRM free on all desktop OS's. Just how I like'em.
10% to charity if you buy it here: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/steamworld-dig?charity=23876
Look at that. So proud. :D https://www.reddit.com/r/patreon/comments/7ibzc3/best_alternative_to_patreon/
But, yeah, @Liberapay really needs to work on new features, like reward tires and non-anonymous donations for those who want that!

Just signed up for an e-mail/calendar/notes account on Posteo, and using my first e-mail to ask for a little improvement :)
Do you like security, the planet and people's well being? You should check out Posteo! https://posteo.de/
Are questions like this less effective in stopping spam bots than CAPTCHAs?
I really like them much better than spending half a minutte helping Google for free! Thanks, #Posteo!

Quantum is coming!
Did you stop using Firefox because of speed? They've worked hard to fix that, and it worked!
Tomorrow you should give Firefox another shot!

How exactly does Mastodon decide what is sensitive content?

Yes, they actually do use DRM if you want to download the book. Wow, I did not see that coming. The other option is to just read it in your browser. Sad to see Archive.org thinking loaning books are more important than DRM is bad. They need to listen to the talks of Cory Doctorow: http://corydoctorow.miraheze.org/
Mastodon 2.0 is great. Love the ActivityPub stuff, the backend is incredibly important!
But this "marking the area you click on"-thing is so annoying! Especially in Rambox (Electron) where it's orange!
Anyone else annoyed by this? Please do something, @gargron? Thank you so much! <3 :)

About 1 day ago we learned that WPA2 has been compromised. Now the patches are out for Linux. Run your software updater now!

DRM in the webbrowser is dangerous for the security and autonomy of everyone. But most people don't know that because it's too technical and boring a topic.
That's why I've started transcribing the talks and interviews of Cory Doctorow. Do you want to help me with his conversation with Edward Snowden?

The introduction of DRM into the W3C standards is a disaster for the open web, and for all individuals and society:
