Out of habit, I still read and comment way too much on #facebook. All my 'friends' and information are there.

I'm going to try to upload something here every day, photos of Uli, with #galgo tags because Galgos are my thing. Trying to create a bit of #mastodon life for myself.

I don't get it @mozilla Why would you use Instagram or any other awful Meta app? Encrypted or not.

I fully support the right to encryption and the right to privacy. But Facebook, Instagram etc are just something one should avoid.

Tell Meta: Keep Encryption for Instagram Messages

Meta has quietly said it will end support for encrypted messaging on Instagram in a matter of weeks. Encryption helps ensure that what your messages stay between you and the person with whom you're communicating. When end-to-end encryption is enabled, no one – not even Meta – can snoop on you. Right now, hundreds of millions of people use Instagram to message friends, family, and communities. Privacy should be a default feature of the technology we rely on every day – not an optional extra, and not something that quietly disappears. That's why we're asking Meta to reverse its decision and continue to support encryption on Instagram.

Etsin videoneuvottelupalvelua Temasin, Googlen, Zoomin jne. korvaajaksi ja törmäsin #Infomaniak #kMeet -palveluun.. Vaikuttaa lupaavalta, mutta onko tästä kokemuksia?

I just saw the first bumble bee! Tiny insects are flying again. This is the time to come out of my hibernation modus and write more about #nature. I talk about #snails, and as they are still in their protection places, reflect on Homo-not-so-sapiens: https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/28951404-a41f-4215-ab89-bc35dbc41233

Snails Or Slop Slime

You're probably all familiar with those pages on the big social media platforms that run as “entertainment” and steal content wherever they can. The main thing is to…

Due to recent developments: is there a legit #EuropeanAlternative to #LinkedIn that is not cringe or dead like #xing AND respects my privacy? Am I asking too much?

Do job platforms with a social media like UI even work or are they set to fail by default?

https://thelocalstack.eu/posts/linkedin-identity-verification-privacy/

A very fresh #LinkedIn #europeanalternative #Nolto is shutting down after a few weeks operation. The lonely creator received rather unfair, irrealistic and personal attacks. That's too bad.

On the other hand, this is a useful experience. As a non-programmer, he started the development using #AI. In such a critical production code, this is probably not really helpful. #Vibecoding is a debated approach even if used by experienced teams.

I feel bad for the guy anyhow.
