Good News! 🚨👀
I am delighted to finally announce today what I've been working on in the past few weeks:
Privacy Guides' new Activism section! 
https://privacyguides.org/activism/
The Activism section offers a new way to empower the digital rights community. It will progressively grow with more tools to support the community in its privacy activism effort, both for individuals and organizations 💛
As Privacy Guides' new Activism & Outreach Lead, I will be working hard on developing this section even further in the coming weeks, adding many more tools to support our community.
I hope this can be a helpful resource for anyone who is ready to fight for privacy rights ✊🔒

The ‘Buy Canadian’ consumer movement is more than just talk — and now the numbers prove it esp in coffee, fruit juices, travel and stocks.
“Canadians took almost 10 million or 25 per cent fewer trips to the US last year.
The biggest drop was in trips across the border by land which fell by 8.4 million or 30 per cent.
Trips by air were down 1.2 million or 12 per cent.”

It's great!
Now, can we convince all you Canadians using Mastodon dot Social to get your accounts over to one of the Canadian sovereign Fediverse instances?

Me: I don't want arsenic, please stop trying to add it to everything.
Them: What do you have against metals in your food? I mean, you eat sodium, don't you? Hypocrite.
Me: No, it's just heavy metals, c'mon.
Them: And yet you use lead in your pencils!
Me: Wait, what? No, I use graphite in my pencils, what are you...
Them: And you like leaded gasoline!
Me: No, I really don't.
Them: And car batteries! Those have heavy metals like lead!
Me: I wish they didn't, but sure, you got me. I use lead somewhere. I still don't *eat* my car batteries, though.
Them: *increments "heavy metal user" column in OKRs*

@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. relatively quiet respite near the bathrooms at an overcrowded music festival when I can still hear the music from the stage but I'm not interested in the acts right now, and people are having semi private conversations around me that they've been wanting to have all day but waiting until they could hear each other, and the people chatting are here to see the same bands as me.

Kansas invalidates license of a trans person who didn't even change their gender marker https://www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-news/kansas-revokes-license-no-gender-change
So who, and when, flagged her as transgender? And in what way does this even apply to the law passed?
They just want to harass trans people.
uspol, kansas, transphobia
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber That's so messed up. The whole thing is.
Related, it occurred to me recently, invalidating trans driver's licenses en masse is a way to effectively make driving while trans a reason to pull you over.
Scientists don't want you to know this, but orange cats are slowly replacing humans!

1. The Supreme Court just handed down its 5th anti-trans decision in less than a year.
It could lead to forced outing of trans youth across the country, with 40 cases pending that it may impact.
It also forces CA teachers to misgender some trans students.

In short, I'm looking for a company (or companies) that could be interested in investing in this vision for the social web. Please spread around.
We published #HolosDiscover 1.2.5, this release fixes RSS issues on some readers:

Also, for more transparency, we added a real-time stats page showing processed #ActivityPub activities, blocked instances and more.
and part of that is because, simply, i do not know what to actually *do* about politics right now. and dwelling on that is *not* good for me, or for you. so. anyway.
@evanEvan Prodromou Clear answer is wizard. Even if it was a fill in the blank that's where I'm going.
Car hot take: You should get 5% off your license plate renewal if your car is more interesting than black/white/silver/blue/red. 10% of it's got actual art on it.

so anyway if you've seen me change in how i post, well, yeah. but you also only see a little bit of me online. contrary to "posting like twelve posts in a row", i'm actually more offline than i have been in many years at this point
Don’t call it age verification. Call it centralised personal data collection. And understand that it serves surveillance, not safety for children. Thank you for your cooperation.
My experience of the #fediverse :
Year 1 (2023):
It feels a little lonely as 99% of my friends stayed on Big Tech platforms.
Year 2 (2024):
I start a blog - #TheFutureIsFederated - to explain the fediverse to "normies"... and I make a lot of new (techie) friends.
Year 3 (2025):
My techie friends encourage me to start self-hosting with #YunoHost... and I do! (GoToSocial, PeerTube, NextCloud...) I LOVE it.
Year 4 (2026):
I plan to buy a Heltec to try out off-grid mesh radio communication 💁♀️
it's the same with a lot of my other political activities. most actual political action i've taken in the real world has basically not moved the needle at all. my entire lifetime has pretty much been a near-universal slide to the right. so.

it's the same reason i used to go to demonstrations and be in the black bloc and shit. did that *actually* change anything? nope. so i don't anymore

if posting about leftism actually did anything, we wouldn't be living under fascism right now. because i (and a lot of you) sure did a lot of posting, but it also sure didn't seem to help. so yeah i could be doomposting about how the dems fuckin suck or whatever. but what good does that do?

Včera se podařilo v klíčovém výboru zamítnout Chat Control 1.0 - dočasnou výjimku, která umožňuje plošně skenovat soukromé zprávy. Ale vyhráno ještě nemáme. Příští týden nás čeká hlasování na plénu a bude to těsné. Někteří europoslanci potřebují připomenout, že „moje soukromá zpráva je moje věc“. 👇🏻
You can use aliases to decrease the amount of typing you need to do to get
commands you commonly use. Examples of fairly popular aliases include (in
Bourne shell style, as in /bin/sh, bash, ksh, and zsh):
alias lf="ls -FA"
alias ll="ls -lA"
alias su="su -m"
In csh or tcsh, these would be
alias lf ls -FA
alias ll ls -lA
alias su su -m
To remove an alias, you can usually use 'unalias aliasname'. To list all
aliases, you can usually type just 'alias'.
By using almost every advanced Swift concurrency tool, we can fully control how database changes are sent to observers, all without slowing down the writer actor!

I'm a dual US-Canadian citizen, and I would *like* to believe it will be okay for me to just keep traveling back and forth between the US and Canada, and for now it is, but things are changing so fast, how long could that last?
It's terrible, there are so many people I care about in the US. There's so much I've left behind.
Me: I don't want arsenic, please stop trying to add it to everything.
