❝I don’t believe our species can survive unless we fix this (social media).
We cannot have a society in which, if two people wish to communicate, the only way that can happen is if it’s financed by a third person who wishes to manipulate them.❞

Berliner's are honouring the victims and survivors of Nazi persecution on the 80th anniversary of "The Night Of Broken Glass", a major event at the beginning of The Holocaust.

This display is around the corner from my work in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin.

A candle sits next to 3 Stolperstein, which mark the house where 3 Jewish people lived before being taken to the Concentration Camps. Names, Date of Birth, the date and the name of the camp they were murdered in.

Hey, I'm danj@ and I'm one of the porters who care the most about backporting fixes to the -stable branch for the ports tree.

I'm thinking about providing stable packages. If I'm going to do it, I want do it correctly which requires work.

Would you support my work on patreon? I'm trying to see if there's interest for it. (answering in a DM is fine)

If your company would benefit from it, feel free to talk to your boss about it.

Please boost to reach a wider audience!

Wir freuen uns zu sehen, dass die #Tagesschau ihr eigenes #FDroid Repo betreibt: https://service.tagesschau.de/app/repo/

Das ist ein großartiger Schritt in die richtige Richtung! Das Repo enthält die offizielle App der Tagesschau, die leider nicht frei und quelloffen ist, obwohl sie durch Steuergelder finanziert wird.

Wenn es sich um öffentliche Gelder handelt, sollte auch der Code öffentlich sein! #PublicCode

mom: hey son I joined this new Mastodon thing
me: oh shit mom, I coulda helped you find a server, which one did you choose?
mom: well I liked the privacy policy on satanic.bikerladi.es but then communist.blaze.party had the shortest ping latency so

This feels like an oversimplification, to an extent, but it's a good nutshell and shows the lie about Bernie et al being "socialists."

It's a sad state of affairs that the Overton window is so far right in the US that what would be considered normal social democracy in most of the world is seen as OMG COMMUNISM in the US.
