USA Today made a version of their site for EU visitors that's compliant with the GDPR
Without:
- ads
- tracking
- personalization
- javascript
It seriously makes me want to check that site from time to time for news. If their point was "see how bad it would be if we didn't do all this stuff?" it's doing the opposite of what it wants because yes, I love this website, that's how I want it and every other one to be like

Just tried #brutaldon ( https://github.com/jfmcbrayer/brutaldon/ ) -- it's a lightweight Mastodon web frontend that doesn't require Javascript and so it supports Lynx, w3m etc. Or, it just works in Firefox and Chrome without using a bunch of RAM maybe? If you like the sound of these things: it does these things.
Due to GDPR I actually removed tracking from apps for the first time in my professional career. Previously it always was more and more tracking stuff 🙄

…and some reasons why they do, or do not contribute.
This is nice. :3
Requires use of RDMA. Remote Direct Memory Access.
When I first saw the term RDMA, it struck me as a scary thing to allow. Seems I wasn't wrong.
Speaking of accessibility:

@Tusky könnte es sein, dass Tusky seit 1.7 deutlich energiehungrigen geworden ist? Auf meinem Samsung macht es sich echt bemerkbar.
And you thought #Facebook and #CambridgeAnalytica were bad? Tired of them sucking the life out of you?
#Google is MUCH worse!!

I made a pull request on @Tusky app git to add spanish translations so any extra eyes to review the strings before they get merged would be welcomed!

F-Droid is now on Mastodon as well!
Ok, what is the *minimum* functionality required to qualify as having coded a Mastodon client in Excel?
Dear <coworker>,
PLEASE stop checking your email on vacation. You have an auto-responder up, and everything that you're forwarding to me has already been forwarded to me by the person who originally sent it.
Plus you make me feel awful for not checking my work email on the weekends, never mind vacation.
Best,

In den letzten Tagen war es endlich soweit. Die neue Website der Antirassistischen Initiative Berlin/ Dokumentationsstelle ist online gegangen und mit ihr eine interaktive Karte, die die rassistische Dimension bundesdeutscher Flüchtlingspolitik anhand von Einzelvorfällen seit 1993 dokumentiert. Damit ist das Ergebnis langer gemeinsamer Projektarbeit zwischen uns und der ARI erstmals für die Öffentlichkeit einsehbar und nutzbar.
