"The web that many connected to years ago is not what new users will find today. What was once a rich selection of blogs and websites has been compressed under the powerful weight of a few dominant platforms. This concentration of power creates a new set of gatekeepers, allowing a handful of platforms to control which ideas and opinions are seen and shared."
Wow, giant photo archive of a little-known photographer Masha Ivashintsova was found recently. Apparently she was too shy to show it to anyone so it was hidden in the attic. Fascinating photos of Leningrad/St. Petersburg
Great blog post on Slack's "bait and switch".

"The reason email is federated, is because it was developed before surveillance capitalism was a thing and because it was established and entrenched long before these companies came around.
There's a reason why your email address is still the de facto way to sign up for any service on the web (sometimes with one or two degrees of separation), and it's because of federation."

Did you know that DST doesn’t help farmers? And it makes us *all* unhealthy? Humans weren’t meant for this. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/five-myths-about-daylight-saving-time/2015/03/06/970092d4-c2c1-11e4-9271-610273846239_story.html
Setting up #GnuPG is a real PITA. Somehow I managed to generete keys on another machine, but today I keep getting timeouts. 💻 🔨
I suggest that every man should read this article for #InternationalWomensDay: https://medium.com/@nkkl/ride-like-a-girl-1d5524e25d3a
I was already kind of interested in feminism when I first read it, but it was this article that made something click in my head. It immediately made the whole topic so much relatable and understandable to me, and it inspired me to check out other women's experiences. I hope it has the same effect to you.

Seriously, just make an OpenQuartz people. Then we can all move on.
Except also you need to dump Pulseaudio for CoreAudio which can be a wrapper on top of OSS and JACK. That's fine. Just no ALSA. Ever.
So basically what I'm saying is that I'm going to keep running MacOS because I like shit that works. Also I have good commercial apps *and* I can run my open source tools.
Note to self: buy current c't issue.
If you want to start to learn something new, don't put it up until tomorrow. Start today with a tiny little thing! One tiny first step, so today you will already know more than you did yesterday! ❤
RT @presentcorrect@twitter.com: Harald Bluetooth, a Viking King, united parts of Denmark and Norway.
Jim Karachi, of Intel, united the PC and cellular industries.
And named that bridge 'Bluetooth'.
The bluetooth logo is a H and B in old Viking runes.
