Ya tenemos andando la instancia general para #latinoamerica de #mastodon ! Pueden registrarse en mastodon.lat o invitar a sus amigos. La idea es que el usuario común encuentre un lugar a donde migrar desde #twitter 😊
To my 'namasté' friends: time to watch #WildWildWorld
@Gargron hey! Are you still using S3 for mastodon.social? I just created an instance and I'm having problems trying to set it with S3. Pictures upload successfully, but then are not displayed😕

Regarding Facebook tracking non-users Mark Zuckerberg said "This kind of data collection is fundamental to how the internet works."
I'm not a networking expert but I know enough to be able to confidently say that nothing at all about this data collection is fundamental to how the Internet works. I guess he was using Silicon Valley speak where "the internet" means "huge corporations who make most of their money by selling ads and illegally collecting as much data as possible".
Sometimes numbers speak more than words. What a beautiful representation of the perception of probabilities!
"Your privacy is disappearing because it is profitable for it to disappear, just as it is profitable to dig fossil fuels out of the ground or to deny health care to millions of Americans. A small number of people get very rich, while everybody else suffers the personal, social, and ecological consequences."

Socialism has always been the answer
Gmail's upcoming self-destructing emails will require the recipients to click on a link and log in with their #Google accounts to see the content, if they are accessing via IMAP/SMTP.
Don't be fooled: Google's purpose is not to give us more confidentiality. They want all of their users to access their mailboxes via the Gmail app or their web interface, so they are creating a burden to the recipients and calling it “security” to convince people to adopt it.
