@gargron It's social media, but anyone can provide it, just like email.

*pause*

Realize that the person you're talking to doesn't realize you can have email outside of Gmail.

The fact that is considered legal for a corporation to compile perfect records of your private life simply because you had to "click OK to continue" to make your phone work is a perfect expression of who holds the power in society and why they should be cast into the sea.

Smartphones have so many useless sensors nowadays, yet still don't have a thermometer.

Want to measure magnetic fields? Sure! Air pressure? Of course! Acceleration? Definitely! Exact orientation of the device? Sure! Heart rate? You bet! Blood oxygen saturation? Who needs a doctor when you have an app!

Air temperature? How hold on there turbo, let's not go overboard on the sensors!

Don’t give Twitter any more of your mindshare or content. Write long form on your blog where it truly belongs.

Something a bit different today...

There's a really nice Fediverse admin on here called @stux who provides lots of free decentralised public services (public instances of Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, Matrix, Nitter, Invidious, Searx etc).

Stux is spending hundreds of euros a month so that these services remain free and operational.

Apparently Stux has had a tough time finding work recently, but has their own small business which provides web hosting.

If you're looking for a small indie hosting provider, this might be a really good choice as the money raised will help keep the Fedi going too:

(I'm sorry to embarass you Stux, but I think you deserve a shout-out for the good work you do!)
