#bat is an advanced cat.

bat is a concatenation tool that provides a more fancy interactive experience. By default, on interactive terminals, bat will attempt to highlight the syntax of a file, display changes with respect to a Git HEAD, and pager the file (if it is large). bat can also display nonprintable characters and function as a plain catenation tool.

#Google demonstrates once again, that you should probably own your own data, and certainly not leave it up to "free" services.

Storage is storage. One should not have to open a bin of photos every two years, unless you want someone to come into your home to throw it away. What does Google care if we look at something or not?

Use #Nextcloud to host your own storage, put things on a backup drive, burn CDS, use flash storage, etc for longterm storage in a private and secure way.

Together with the Internet Society, we have written an open letter to the EU to explain why an encryption backdoor for the 'good guys only' is simply impossible. Keep fighting for a secure internet with us! 💪👇

Ola Bini is accused of "hacking" state infrastructure. "evidence" are books, a big number of USB devices and a screenshot of a *telnet* login prompt, saying "connection closed" (clearly no login attempt).

After 70d in the worst jail in Ecuador, he was prevented to leave the country for 1.5y, denied access to any data, or to challenge anything.

Trial has been postponed again and NO OBSERVER will be allowed? SRSLY?!

Parrallel w/ #Assange case is striking. Process as punishment..

Very cool -- https://teddit.net is a new privacy-friendly Reddit frontend, similar to Invidious / YouTube, Bibliogram / Instagram, and Nitter / Twitter.

Source code: https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit

- No JavaScript or ads
- All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Reddit
- Prevents Reddit from tracking your IP or JavaScript fingerprint
- Lightweight (teddit frontpage: ~30 HTTP requests with ~270 KB of data downloaded vs. Reddit frontpage: ~190 requests with ~24 MB)

Someone I know wants to try out Mastodon, but he doesn't know English. Is there:

A) A way to look for users speaking a particular language?

B) A Polish instance that's well moderated (no bigotry allowed on there)?

Please boost, even if you don't know 😓

I found another command line mastodon/fediverse client. This one written in go and it is early but definitely in the running for my favorite one yet. https://github.com/RasmusLindroth/tut

The wayland compositor I'm writing has an infinite desktop, replacing workspaces with panning and zooming to get around

Saying "no" to unethical tasks

Interesting how all the predictions about voting computers are coming true like if experts like the CCC were able to look into the future. All the things are showing up as symptoms in the US election, but most importantly, nobody can trust those computers because nobody can check what's going on on a multipurpose machine with windows 10 on it so it's easy to say that they were hacked or malfunctioning, etc.

And to be honest I do agree with those people...
