@ParadeGrotesque it's one i remember watching as a kid on the tv with my father.. he never was a big movie guy, but somehow he liked easterns & westerns :) maybe i should watch it again :)

A world where we don’t trust anyone and where everything is a monetary transaction is a world, in the words of Oscar Wilde, that knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

In case you’re wondering, “fuck blockchain” is what I’m saying.

:boost_ok: :ablobcatwave: Please boost this post if you would like the EFF to join the fediverse. :ablobcatbongo:

In a survey the EFF sent me, I suggested they create an account on the fediverse, so they can reach more supporters and support innovative free software that promotes interoperability among platforms, something they've advocated for in the past, too.

If you can boost this post, maybe I'll be able to show them that there are quite a few users who would like them here!

The EFF is the infamous nonprofit organisation that fights for privacy, government transparency, and digital freedom. Their fight is very important, and the EFF is very special to me. https://www.eff.org/about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Frontier_Foundation

You can see some of their work here https://www.eff.org/work

In the meantime, you can follow @eff, which is an unofficial mirror of their Twitter.
A telegram group where people trade links to the hottest discords.

@trinsec if i could get a _good_ opensource app for the "photoTAN" code generation it would be ok. i really don't want to use a shitty banking app :)

@trinsec yes. login TAN via SMS isn't secure enough, but a fucking app on a smartphone? fucking joke.

thanks EU, i have to use even more security LARP than previous to login to my bank now.

burn everything to the ground and salt the remains.

Do you use an RSS/Atom reader?

Boosts appreciated for sample size :)

>I saw mood swings, you just withdrew.

Gee, I wonder why. Why would somebody withdraw from others while experiencing depression? Maybe because they felt that they couldn't talk to those around them and they were right. Because when they tried to reach out, it was minimised. Maybe their parents weren't interested in knowing because it triggered them. Maybe the only way to feel safe was to withdraw. Nah... it's just mood swings and chemical imbalances. Nothing to see here.
@bonifartius meanwhile even from the end user perspective, stuff that worked 30 years ago still works just fine if not better than the modern alternatives (TeX, SQL, graphviz, mutt, both major text editors, &c.)

@bograt that said, what little i know of solaris was of course "enterprise" but rather well thought out. modern linux is a hodgepodge of things, even more than it was, say 15 years ago. things get replaced _all the time_really by overly complex stuff regardless of if it is really necessary.

@bograt i never used solaris.. i think redhat etc. have really "baroque" solutions for things, as it is common with enterprise stuff. professional != complicated. take sqlite for example, it's rock solid but isn't overly complicated.

@bograt i just don't want anyone to make decisions based on me, a random internet stranger :)

it depends on what you want. i think those things prepare you to do standard sysadmin stuff with a standard distribution (which, tbh, pays the bread). those are _really_ different from how things would be done "the unix way".

@bograt but i might not be the best to judge this, strong scruffy beard unix vibes here.

Censorship, fedi apps and Google Play 

It's funny enough to respond to this nonsense with "OK then when are you going after the browsers?"

But please remember, the people instigating these problems are saying "Don't worry, those come next"

If you do not fight for your freedom, they will take it away from you.
