Software of the day:

https://github.com/micahflee/porcupine

Porcupine by @micahflee is awesome and simple!
It is the perfect "default web browser."
I use it for everything handling links, including PasswordSafe.

Am I the only free software loving #clown that's excited that the next release of #Debian is named Buster?

I know it isn't after this guy, but I'm excited to pretend it is!

Hi #fediverse ! I am seeking opinions on the terms of service for Taguette (free/open source qualitative analysis tool)

We have a hosted version of Taguette that people can use for free and I took a crack at writing TOS for that: https://gitlab.com/remram44/taguette/blob/terms-of-service/taguette/templates/tos.html

If anyone wants to give me an opinion about this, I would *very* much appreciate it -- it's my first time doing anything like this and I basically just riffed off the Open Source Institute & Glitch TOS

I just programmed an open source tool called semiphemeral that lets you automatically delete your old tweets, except for the ones you want to keep. Would be cool to add support for making your toots semiphemeral too, one day... https://micahflee.com/2019/06/semiphemeral-automatically-delete-your-old-tweets-except-for-the-ones-you-want-to-keep/

Even though they barely mention it, this is an excellent showcase of the amazing performance Linux KVM (and QEMU!) provides these days.

2FA has launched for the PyPI web interface! Read more about the feature and what we have coming soon at https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2019/05/use-two-factor-auth-to-improve-your.html

this talk by @mako last year on how the tools of free software have been co-opted in order to create freedom for companies instead of freedom for humans did a great job of bringing together a bunch of threads I've been following recently as well as pointing out new insights and ways forward.

highly recommended if you care about ways in which software can help people and are concerned about our work being subverted.

Chrome is apparently going to impose limits on ad blocking unless you're an enterprise user.

Google using its dominance of the web to squeeze out competitors and enhance its ad revenue? WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?! 😱 </sarcasm>
