I don't like when local groups require you to have a facebook account to sign up for events, I dont have a fb I probably never will again. Its like a neon sign that says "we dont care how evil fb is or about those that choose to avoid it"
@thenewoil I have a $20 onn 4k TV box from Walmart that I used the Universal Android Debloat tool & ADB uninstall on to replace the default launcher with an open source alternative, remove any additional tracking and bloat, then install Smartube (YouTube without ads or tracking that you can't get on Apple devices!) & Stremio with a debrid service. Firewall & DNS logs show its quiet and let's me watch anything I'd ever need without tracking or BS!
Works great and the whole family loves it! AMA!

Re Microsoft win 10 machines.

Don't believe Microsoft

"because they can’t be upgraded to a supported OS there will not be the normal secondary market for those buying new hardware. This means there’s no boon for charities or other good causes, and instead this is a recycling or landfill choice.

This is criminal.

Recycle to Linux.

You want to fight authoritarianism? Start local. School boards. City councils. Labor unions. That's where power builds—and where democracy is most vulnerable. #Resistance #Democracy

I am loving that things are finally moving to make European countries less dependent on US software (especially cloud providers), but I am disappointed that there isn't more of a focus on open source software.

There are several government programs within EU counties to fund the development of open source software. We need WAY more of that, coordinated at the EU level.

The best way to avoid being beholden to big tech is to fund viable open source alternatives.

This Global #Recycling Day, let’s talk about our favorite way to reduce waste: repair!
Recycling is inefficient, complex, and time consuming. It should be the very last step in a long line of alternatives. While Reduce and Reuse are the best options, we think the missing R is Repair.

Recycling isn’t the answer; it’s the last resort.
