wouldn't financially sustainable open source software be better than foss?
Don't get why you wouldn't want to financially support all these different great developers that make open source software.
Let me know if I misinterpreted your foss posts?

I've been earworming "Waterloo Sunset" by The Kinks. It is so beautiful and wistful, I sometimes tear up when I hear it.

I can't hear this without thinking of a version someone performed at an open mic night at a camp I used to go to. He changed the words to be about camping in bad weather, and it became a favourite.

“The belief that open source is unsafe or unusable is simply not true.” 💡

The Dutch cooperative SURF aims to prove that — by creating a framework to support digital commons and assist institutions in adopting open-source collaboration tools such as Nextcloud Hub.

Yours truly, commenting on the unfortunate lettering of Pope Francis’ name on his tombstone in a @nytimes article published this morning
in reply to Elle Cordova

I don't know if it's just me but I find it bizarre that they asked the CEO of a "typeface and technology company" to comment on the tomb of the pope, like the Catholic church is yet another startup in the tech industry.

I've been using #Betterbird for a few months now while I'm trying to migrate away from Outlook. It takes some time for testing and finding new work flows, but so far I like the improvements to Thunderbird.

Biggest challenge is finding a good way to mark emails for follow up, so they are added to my task list. BB is creating a copy, losing the link to the original email, but I might have found an add-on now. I'm open to suggestions!

in reply to It's FOSS

I have been using betterbird for a while. What impressed me the most was that it works in the system tray. I could not find this comfort in other applications on Linux.

since it feels criminal that the article doesn't mention it:

Git plugin.

Allows you to, not only have version control so you can rollback if anything goes wrong, but also the ability to push to a git server and use it as a "cloud" server; which could be a local git or a github repo.

Positions of power will attract people who are seeking positions of power. This is why the 47th US president imagines himself as the pope!

I cannot express enough how sweet my cats are. They are gentle, kind, and affectionate. Not a hint of malice in their soul. And softer than any plushie.

I see they are the most utterly ruthless apex predators… They have successfully gaslighted you into believing this
in reply to Eugen Rochko

No irony here, they really are that sweet and affectionate with us, and with each other. They're from the same litter so they've always been together, they like to fall asleep on my lap, sometimes at the same time. If they're trying to kill me, it is from cuteness overload.


I gave a TED talk last year, and I was invited to be a guest on the TED Radio Hour to put it into some more context. You can listen (and watch!) here!

Especially in a moment when public broadcasting in the US is under concerted political attack, I couldn’t be prouder or more excited to get to tune my radio (!) into my local NPR station this morning to listen!

🚨 Tor Browser opsec discovery: The security level slider cannot be relied upon without a full browser restart: privacyguides.org/articles/202…

If you frequently switch between security levels in Tor Browser (or Mullvad Browser!), make sure you are fully restarting the browser every time, otherwise you could still unexpectedly have dangerous JS features enabled!

This requirement is not publicly documented anywhere. Hopefully @torproject will add a prompt to restart after modifying this setting in a future Tor Browser release.

#Opsec #TorBrowser #Security #MullvadBrowser #Privacy #PrivacyGuides #PSA

in reply to The Tor Project

On occasion I have noticed that restarting tor browser via the 'New identity' button is not enough to avoid this issue. Only closing tor browser followed by opening it again avoids the issue.
