@adhdhomelab yeah nextcloud save me monthly fees for sure! And yes! If I had a nice library I'd love a navidrome instance,is that what you host your music on? Totally understand about the passwords,but if your instance goes down. You still have access to creds on the bitwarden app or extension, you just can't save new creds to it until its back up

New study finds that Twitter/X users who switched from a chronological feed to an algorithmic feed showed increased engagement and a shift toward more conservative political views. Switching back to a chronological feed did not reverse these changes in political attitudes.

The political effects of X’s feed algorithm - Nature

Among users initially on a chronological feed, 7 weeks of exposure to X’s algorithmic feed in 2023 shifted political attitudes and account-following behaviour in a more conservative direction compared with those remaining on a chronological feed, whereas switching the feed setting in the opposite direction, from algorithmic to chronological, had no effect.

Prosecutors ignored regulators who said no crime existed, hid evidence, threatened 25 years, then jailed two innocent men for protecting privacy. The US government are the real criminals.

The future is not looking bright if any man and his dog can be thrown into prison for writing a useful privacy respecting, open source tool on a conspiracy charge. Good video by #NaomiBrockwell #NBTV

#KeonneRodriguez and #BillHill did not break a single law. #FreeSamourai
