UI/UX Designer (16 years professional experience).

I'm an advocate of Free and Open-Source Software. I (prefer to) use Matrix for communication, Penpot, Inkscape and Blender for design. Mastodon...obviously. Odysee/Invidious for viewing video content. And finally, Linux, for the greatest FOSS of all.

If you have a project that's interesting, feel free to message me here, or grab my email address from my website.

I try to avoid politics in my timeline. Tell me about your hobbies instead :)

You may be missing the point.

The point is Microsoft wants to (again) force/trick/scam people into buying new hardware. Whether they are lying or not, whether there is a workaround or not, is not the point.

The point is the #Endof10 campaign wants to help people exit this cycle of spending, polluting and tech blackmail Microsoft subjects its users to by offering them an out, helping them switch to Free Software systems. Things like Plasma on Linux are perfectly adequate nowadays for most people—and notice the “most”, please: I know there will always be edge cases that can’t migrate

But, for most people, with a Linux system decked out with a modern desktop and applications? They will find all they need to carry on being productive on their current machines.

📣 The rushed integration of AI into everything is a major threat to privacy, as we've been saying.

Microsoft Recall is a great (not great!) example of exactly why--it screenshots everything on your desktop, to give AI the data to tell you...what you were doing on desktop.

So, Signal took steps to protect you and everyone using Signal on Windows 11 from Recall's hunger for (Signal) data.

By Default, Signal Doesn't Recall

Signal Desktop now includes support for a new “Screen security” setting that is designed to help prevent your own computer from capturing screenshots of your Signal chats on Windows. This setting is automatically enabled by default in Signal Desktop on Windows 11. If you’re wondering why we’re on...

For the "full picture", here's the new logo. Ok, I'm being facetious; there's more to branding than a logo. Still 🤷‍♂️

Mozilla president Mark Surman: “Even though we’ve been at the forefront of privacy and open source, people weren’t getting the full picture of what we do."

So they redesigned their branding, rather than demonstrating "the full picture" with their actions.

FF market share 2009: 30%

2.8% with $0.5B yearly funding from Google. Guess what happens to that pitiful market share when Google turns off the cash hose...
