We pay to Steam, Netflix, Amazon prime, Spotify. But not to Wikipedia, Archive.org, Librivox, Project Gutenberg, for our favourite Linux distro.

The huge asymmetry between corporate and community has not emerged naturally. It is a product of our choices of not supporting community oriented projects.

The short conveniences vs the long-term good. We always chose the former.

In face of surveillance capitalism, we must and must change.

I'm actually starting to find it weird when people don't have an RSS feed for their site.

Let's not forget that #facebook was a platform originally created to track and exploit the women who went to Zuckerburg's college. If you are on #facebook, I don't think you need any additional motivation to get off of it. #deletefacebook

Remember, if a project is not free (as freedom) then you pay for it with your data, and not only to "keep the service free" - your data brings them a huge profit.

Protip: if you want to host Gitea or any other self-hosted versioning webapp at home, use fail2ban and robots.txt to block all scrapers.

It will wreak havoc on your home network if you don't have proper networking equipment.

In just a few hours I have over 5000 IPs banned. And requests are *still* coming in from the same/similar user agents.

Se conhecerem alguém que está sem convênio e tiver com algum sintoma da COVID-19 (tosse, febre, falta de ar, dor de garganta), orientem para entrar na plataforma do Missão Covid: missaocovid.com.br . É uma plataforma que conecta pacientes com um grupo de médicos que se reuniu para atender gratuitamente as pessoas com os sintomas. A pessoa se cadastra e rapidamente um médico entra em contato e faz uma vídeo consulta. Atendimento gratuito.

Surveillance capitalism is the same as climate change, but for data:

- Some people have been warning about its consequences for years
- Most people don't care because they don't feel concerned, they can't see it affecting them
- A few companies are making a lot of damage with the help of governments
- When we will face the consequences it will be too late
- We can still do something about it, and the sooner the better
