This sort of thing really annoys me
"The service, organised on behalf of The Worshipful the Mayor of Torbay, Councillor Douglas-Dunbar, given by the Rt Reverend Jackie Searle Bishop of Crediton and Reverend Nathan Kiyaga Torbay Dean will be broadcast live on the Councils Facebook page from 10am."
I have commented on their twitter page

To ask why they can't use a platform that does not mine user data.
So annoying people assume I use or even want to use FAKEBOOK
If you are on twitter and can like or comment further please do.
Facebook and google also just made things a few clicks and you have signed up, really easy. As @aral is trying to do with small-tech is make his tech as easy as facebook to sign up to.
Otherwise you put people off, what is needed is something to engage with, so unless there are celebrities on here for people to follow (and sadly abuse) we need to find ways to encourage engagement that they can't get elsewhere.

Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.
A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."
People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.
Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.
@info_activism While the world sits by and appears to be doing very little that's effective.

i had an income of €4800/mo in 2019 working as a programmer.
now my income is €1600/mo.
i don't want to work as a programmer anymore. i hated it. i thought i'd love it, for 15 years i convinced myself i just needed to find the right workplace, but it was just me.
so i live on 1/3 the income because i don't wanna do that. very steep price to pay, but it's worth it.

I really should get back into drawing. I enjoy it far more than programming, but it doesn't pay the bills. I actually learned to draw long before I got into computer science or anything related to technology. I did this drawing of Richard Stallman 2 years ago.
Trouble is, I only get the inspiration to do art once every blue moon. It's really hard to get motivated. My time is otherwise consumed writing code and wielding a soldering iron.

Is anyone interested in starting a new adaptive GTK Rust client for Signal for Linux smartphones and desktops? I wrote a post on the @PINE64 forum about my reasoning for this technical approach:

Please boost.
*Do not respond to this with criticism of Signal*. If you're annoying about that, I'll block you.

Interesting. Richard Stallman has updated his personal website. He is aware of the hatred against him and links the support site https://stallmansupport.org/
Go RMS!

I volunteer as 'IT person' for a museum in its early days, (https://www.eicas.nl - @EICAS).
I would love to connect with other "museum people" and "museum IT people", here and elsewhere.
Any boosts/recommendations welcome!

Racism, colonialism and war are fundamentally linked. It's no accident that open anti-Muslim Bigotry ballooned in the lead-up to the Iraq War, and the new enemy of China coincides with spiking anti-Asian racism.
