I originally wrote this for Voice, and it went kinda viral here on Twitter.

Then Voice put all content behind a registration wall, so I republished it on Medium today. Enjoy!

Clean up the web!

Developers, it’s time for you to choose a side: will you help rid the web of privacy-invading tracking or be complicit in it?

I, too, call on the European Commission to strictly regulate the use of biometric technologies in order to avoid undue interference with fundamental rights.

Lot's of people talking about the controversy surround #Stallman and the #FSF. I don't really care about that - so here's my thoughts in a longer form:

👋 Hello Foostodon!

I've decided to Mastodon a good try this time.
👀 Who's this guy?

- I code charts for a living
- Love coding games, maps and 3D graphics.
- Worked for a remote company before it was cool.
- Like #privacy and owning my data.
- Trying to get into blogging
- Based in 🇬🇧

I've been using #Git for around a year now, and it's been fun. But a lot of the guides I've read have been way too detailed. So I decided to write my own guide.

I've decided to do a Tech For Everyone newsletter. Because something with "FOR EVERYONE" in the name should be, you know, accessible to everyone.

No paywalls. No registration walls. No censors. No rules. Go get subbed, it's free.
