Ethical, easy-to-use and privacy-conscious alternatives to well-known software. Leave google, fb and twit et alia!
Sometimes I worry I may make a post like this too often, but each time many people learn and boost, so I keep doing it.

After my discussions with VP Pence and others, the federal government has agreed to withdraw federal officers from Portland. They have acted as an occupying force & brought violence. Starting tomorrow, all Customs and Border Protection & ICE officers will leave downtown Portland.

The politicians who talked Trump's troops out of Portland and Seattle before they found an excuse to kill someone are Big Damn Heroes, having saved more lives than we can imagine.

Not for the first time, it seems that Betsi Cadwaladr health board (North Wales) have messed up the stats. We have 5 new deaths reported today, which would be extraordinary if there were not an explanation. According to @LloydCymru@Twitter these deaths come from the past week. There's a problem in Wrecsam area at the moment, and that's the likely origin.
Total now 1554
Total in the past week: 6
7-day Average 0.86

This is really interesting. They colorized a photo by overlaying some lines in a grid and ONLY adding color to the lines but oversaturating the color. The rest of the image is black and white.
The result is that at a distance or in the thumbnail it just looks like an ordinary color photo. It is only when you look up close you notice what is going on.

Dear Portland,
I want to update you on our federal occupation, explain the steps that we have taken as a city, and share what our state legislature and federal delegation are doing to address this unconstitutional federal aggression against our city.

Forget Netflx. Forget HBO. Forget Amazon. Forget the Beeb!
The best films that you can be seen today are being screened at film festivals across the globe. The Symi International Film Festival with its rugged commitment to 'aesthetic independence' is no exception.
As a member of the Judging Panel, naked in the early hours of morning with the temperatures a tad below the boiling point of mercury in high July, I am witnessing some extraordinary submissions from Iran, Argentina, Greece, France, India, China, Germany and countless other countries. What a privilege!
At the beginning of the month, I had an audience with the Mayor of Symi (Eleftherios Papakalodoukas) accompanied by a good friend of mine whose command of Greek is infinitely superior to mine
Very quickly became clear that the Mayor’s hands were completely tied re the Film Festival as the current rules laid down by the South Aegean Regional government prevented it, though there would be a review of the rules in August.
The Mayor shared his concerns about the opening up of the island. The lockdown of course was the easy part. Anybody who shows symptoms of COVID-19 will immediately be tested and put into isolation at a ‘clinical facility’ in Chorio. If the condition turns out to be life-threatening, they will be immediately taken either to Crete or Athens by helicopter. The Mayor also made the point that if the Festival did take place in September and individuals succumbed to the virus, SIFF would obviously be directly in the firing line. In short the Festival, even if it could go ahead legally, would be an unnecessary risk and distraction, even it was properly set up and marshalled.
It was a cordial and unrushed meeting (the local politics of last year surprisingly forgotten).

Here is tonight’s #Moon in its #FirstQuarter #Phase. It’s the first night I’ve seen a clear sky with a bright Moon for weeks. Because the exposure time is so short, (1/1000 s), I didn’t bother with a tripod. The #aperture was F5.7.

So apparently there is a group of christians out there who not just domestically abuse their wives but they encourage others do the same and call it "spanking" or "Christian Domestic Discipline" (CDD for short.
I read this article and this guy sounds off the wall nuts to me...
