Ma guarda un po' chi trovo, nella biblioteca cittadina, in bella mostra sullo scaffale degli ultimi arrivi e dei libri di attualità, caro @kenobit

" Vieni con noi che con un click avrai il Tuo Nuovo Sito, pronto in 3 secondi, Supefigo, è fatto con l'AI e ..tieniti forte:
Completamente Gratis! "
" Clicca qui! "

La gente poi si fa convincere dalla facilità (maledetta facilità) e viene tradita con tariffe annue altissime e un'assistenza nazi-sionista che se non paghi ti cancellano tutto quel che hai fatto.

Poi finalmente vengono da noi Web Designer Precari Freelance e gli trasformiamo il loro sito (fatto con i sionisti di Wix, per citarne una) in #Wordpress o altre piattaforme #opensource e li portiamo nel #Fediverso

A me è capitato con un poeta, di Roma, e come preventivo gli ho detto: dammi quello che hai, senza problemi, oppure scrivimi una poesia e siamo apposto!

This is a bloody brilliant middle finger to the surveillance states with an optional "bring it, muthafrackah" mode.

I invite you to page through their reasoning; it's ... _interesting_.

I think it's little over a month since I deleted my #meta accounts (among other #bigtech services).

Right now the only #socialmedia I use is #mastodon.

I can really feel the #freedom ( no.. not the 'murica version ) of not *having* to open the #Facebook app 100 times a day.

Also really happy that #Fedora worked out as good as it did after I ditched #Windows 11. ( thanks to @Beiz )

A shoutout to @Vivaldi for being the greatest #browser. ( and neighbour )

Ich weiß nicht wie es euch geht, aber ich empfinde diese Entwicklung als mehr als nur beunruhigend. Mich wundert es, wie wenig dieses Thema bisher in der Öffentlichkeit diskutiert wird. Wir machen uns abhängig von Konzernen, die ihre „Ethik“ dem Pentagon unterordnen sobald der Druck steigt. Das hier ist kein Science Fiction. Hier geht es um Systeme, die über unsere Privatsphäre und in Sekunden über Leben und Tod entscheiden.

I am tackeling my next project in moving away from #BigTech and #USTech companies. This one is one that is really hard for me, and that pains me a bit: I'm moving away from #GitHub - it's hard for me, because I've been brought up with #SVN and instantly fell in love with #DVCS, and with #git I instantly also started using GitHub. And I **really** used it like their slogan suggested: Like "facebook for programmers". I followed friends and colleagues, followed projects I loved and people that seemd interesting to me, and even had a couple of discussions that started with a commit or new repository on Github. Plus, I love their mascot and have a huge amount of stickers featuring #Octocat - to me GitHub was a crucial part of my programming hobby and upbringing.

However, since #Microsoft accquired it, my engagement got less, even though I stayed, because no other solution at that time was remotely what I wanted and loved about GitHub.

Since then, lots of things have happend; GitHub fired people that spoke out against the capitol attack, it does business with ICE, and is now monetizing the works of millions of open source developers with their integration of AI in GitHub that you never agreed to and cannot opt out of. And GitHub's parent company openly supports Trump, and meddles in international juristriction and politics by blocking political enemies of the Trump regime from their accounts (i.e. the E-Mail account of ICC Prosecutors).

I think I won't delete my old GitHub account; but active and new repositories will be moved to @Codeberg - I am not sure if it is the right home for me, or if I long-term will be hosting my own @gitea or @forgejo instance; but for a start I think it is the right thing to do, and as I am currently working on something I would like to put under versioning, now is the best time to do it. So if you want to follow along, here is my new repository host:

#Raspberrypi 5 16 GB price has almost doubled, #RAM now costs as much as the rest of the PC, GPU prices starting to rise again, NVMe prices through the roof ... Hobby market is once again being destroyed, PCs and gaming machines becoming unaffordable ... all so that Scam Altman can continue his #AI scam a little longer. This is corporate greed at its worst ...
