Cross-posting from Daniel Tunkelang's FB:

This journalist (finally!) wonders why ppl are so concerned with FB if obviously Google collects way more of our personal data?

With its own AppCenter and this little friend, webpin (https://github.com/artemanufrij/webpin) it might give a desktop experience that resembles my beloved FirefoxOS (may she rest in peace)

@rysiek @Martin03 @Rawkode

keybase is awful. It encourages the horrendous practice of uploading your private key. Plus as you say it's another walled garden. The amount of value which keybase delivers isn't significant, so I don't use it.

I just found it: Pinafore [1] --- you have one network, but the interface looks more like facebook (i.e., single-stream -- just right for my old brain v1.0)

Joining is a good step towards taking control of our own data! Wanna do more? Have a look at Privacy Badger, a (non-profit!) browser add-on where a cute little animal blocks all spying ads and trackers. https://www.eff.org/privacybadger

"End Anonymous Refereeing"

We already know that anonymity is turning us into little trolls. So why should this be different when you review?
