I've been very busy with running a home business and looking after children for the last few years, I'm now hoping to have a bit more time to myself to spend being geeky with my laptop and Raspberry Pi. I love retro gaming, ZX Spectrum was/is the best. I also love fantasy consoles, such as the LIKO-12 and the TIC-80. #Linux "I use Arch btw" #hsp #asmr #vegetarian #geek

Delete Chrome. Now.
Google is using its exceptionally powerful position to make *the browser itself* analyze your browsing behavior and serve that on a plate in the form of "cohorts" to anyone interested.
They are transforming Chrome into a "browsing-history-passport" - right now.
If you care about your intellectual freedom even a little bit, you must put Chrome out of your life as soon as possible. Support others doing the same.

"Fix someone's program, they're happy for a day. Teach someone to program and they're never happy again."

i just don't get how so many people seem to be capable of saying "we need to artificially create work that doesn't need to be done so that people have jobs" with a straight face

Mobile phones are the primary "computers" for many users, which makes it more important than ever to support Replicant, the free mobile phone OS: https://u.fsf.org/38l

The deployment of #Covid vaccines and proposed “immunity passport” or certificate linked to it need to be considered with care.
Failure to do so risks perpetuating and reinforcing exclusionary and discriminatory practices.
After over 4 years since the people of the UK voted, we have officially left the EU.
I'm so sad. I want back in 😢
A small number of people pushed their bigoted ideas onto the theUK population.
Lies were told to sell it to people as a good thing. Thoughts of old fashioned sovereignty and independence were used to make us feel "free" of oppression from the evil foreigners in Brussels.
The EU isn't perfect, not by a long shot. But it was better than being out of it.

Anyone here into emulation, specifically nintendo ds emulation? One of my younger siblings is a super duper awesome emulation hacker currently writing their own nds emulator. Go and say hi to the amazing @fleroviux
They also make super cool electronic music that can be found here https://soundcloud.com/iamflerovium
Has anyone seen these auto disappearing Tweets ("fleets") on Twitter? Is that something you'd want in the fediverse?

"The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has confirmed that London’s New Year’s Eve firework display will not be taking place this year. Khan added he is working on an alternative event that people will be able to enjoy from their homes."
It's nice to know that some in authority still care about the global pandemic.
Content moderation doesn't work how most people think. Learn about the history and inside story of policing user content.
Coded Bias. A film about bias and discrimination in the software you use. As "AI" gets used more and more, people are starting to see how it has the same prejudices that the people who control it have. And the people who control it are a very small, mostly homogeneous, group of people.
