The NSA phone #surveillance program was illegal and expensive: And it did not stop a single terrorist attack. https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/nsa-phone-surveillance-illegal-expensive @Tutanota

My friend Yoko explained this Japanese custom: the pre-addressed return envelope has 行 (iki) after the destination address, but people cross it out and write 御中 (onchū), literally "honorable inside", the equivalent of 様 (sama) for organizations.
Why wouldn't they just print it that way? Because it would be rude to use honorifics for your own company! 😅

«Desde el asalto a la división de poderes hasta la connivencia con la violencia, desde el ataque planificado y sistemático a la unidad territorial hasta la imposición de una ideología, convertida en moral totalitaria y acompañada de una censura propia de la Inquisición. Cada atropello a las libertades protagonizado por este Gobierno, incluida la libertad de conciencia, tiene su correlato en un episodio del pasado comunista que despertó la respuesta fascista y llevó a los españoles al desastre.»

Sci-hub is more meaningful, politically radical and has had more impact than any decentralisation or blockchain software project of the past 10 years.

Yo siempre encantado, en casos como este, de «generar más interacciones» y «hacer ganar visibilidad».

Either one recommend this for all trollish behaviour on social media, or for none. No need to single out an extremist party; there are others.
Also, what's the point of these tools, if not learning and discovering ideas different from one's own? :P It's a pitiable attitude, that of muting everything that does not match one's preconceived stance.

OK, I get that most app publishers can't afford not to sell via the #AppStore and that #iThings are ubiquitous, and I support freer options everywhere (even for #Apple users)…
But, come on — this initiative sounds a lot like:
“Drat! We want people who, on their own volition, decided to go for an expensive, unaccountable, closed, locked system to be able to install and use our apps freely! Isn't that fair? I can has freedom?”.
Read that naïve section “our vision”. A vision is something novel. #FreeSoftware is 35+ years old. And there are open distribution platforms already. Reinventing the wheel.

We think we'll be able to get LBRY Android re-instated, but we'll probably have to compromise.
Good reminder to check out the @fdroidorg@twitter.com version, which doesn't allow Google to track you and will always remain unrestricted.
