People can try to look for years for a proper free license open source phone, down to the firmware and never seem to find it.

It therefore comes as a great relief when one discovers its not themself who is failing, its just #surveillanceCapitalism and the marketplace of malware winning

Thank the @fsf.

> If people are smart, it's time to archive the Archive [rn]. (…)fork it and turn it unto a decentralized platform.

Depends on ppl being smart, yes. We've advocated that each country have an archive. It's just #commonSense to not depend on (really) one.

Recently we thought about doing an archive just for #technology sites. We came up with a fun name #StackOverture.

Did you know #decryptDotCo, #theNationDotCom, #torrentFreak and #dailyDot are all Cloud(G)lare?

The #legacyWeb is dead.

May we interject. Who is this person with an alleged 100k followers? Paying $10 per month, mind.

@gabriel @silverpill
The git README is confusing. What is the fedi instance-type that operates over Tor/I2P that this project is bridging for?

Or are we not understanding something?

@silverpill
To us we see scalability as the big one.

As fedi scales, it appears that the way media-delivery is centralised, we will just end up with a few big CDN and fedi will be centralised again. In mid-Sept we began talking about an idea we call #'GlutPlug, where entities that toot, boot or fave a media post can become servers of such media. Serving and fetching over I2P would protect the users. An integrity hash set provided by the main server would ensure that provided media is correct.

@fsf
Is it #remoteLearning, or remote #surveillance and monetisation.

Great little cartoon, FSF!

It helps to reduce the issue down to a level that hopefully more people will be able to understand and relate to.

Repression takes many forms. Often just knowing that a service is corporate-controlled can have a self-#censorship effect, also.

Kudos to all involved!

What software was used to make it? Was it #Sygfin… #Blender? We wonder if #freedomSoftware exists to process ol Flash (#fla) files.

@fsf
This is helpful for people who have started making bash scripts and want to improve their craft. ^^^

Go #GNULinux — free-license, open source, and **always** so.

@lain
Gas is so 2010

Mastodon is become more a brand than a software. If one searches 'mastodon' one gets a bunch articles that pretty much treat M'don as a brand with scant lip service to Fediverse, and links to a couple of the biggest M'don instances that happen to be melding with Threats.

If a #NewYearsResolution is your thing, set out to say and write 'fediverse' — proudly and deliberately.

We as fedizens built this place.

All the best for the new year ahead.

Thanks for informing that Mastodon has always been on MSG, Lain.

Quick question:

Has #Mastodon development always been on MSGithub? Just doing some research.

Hi @lain, You might know this, actually ^^^

@lain
Do you also wear your sunglasses at night so you can (so you can) stop seeing visions in your eye-eyes?

@gnutelephony
Torrenting #patches and updates over #I2P, is probably the closest thing to anonymous contribution.

The firewall that blocks #CAGEMAFIA, namely DigitalFeudalismCounterAction, was first distributed by #torrent, iwrc. Though I think the torrent tracker may have other issues based on what we've discussed above.

#updates #anonymity #torrenting #anonymousContribution

@gnutelephony
Another great point!

Is there an add-on for #git that takes the #timingInformation (other than year and month) 'out' of the commit itself?

Failing that is there a user-friendly method in git for #farbling time information?

#askFedi

Honest question for freedom-software (#FOSS) developers who use #GitHub.

Do you feel safe? Why or why not?

Sounds about right, but we have two important letters that we would like to share with him.

The first letter is 'C' and the second letter is 'f'.

They don't need an #EMP if they control 90% of the internet alongside fellow #fascist plutocrats.

@enmodo @gnutelephony @aborigen
Last we checked #Stripe was also a 'Scam'azon-served product. It might even be surveilled by #Scam'azon CloudFront; we haven't checked.

We understand that those in #power seek to keep ignorant #neoNazis under their wing, oft employing "#handlers" including in #intelligence agencies for such, to keep themselves clean. Ignorant #strongmen can apparently be easily compelled to engage in acts of #repression and #violence.

And #Scamazon itself is #fascist.

We must cancel Bi'n Laden because his name is clearly a cryptic bitcoin reference.
