The Man Who Wants to Take Down Bashar Al Assad
Wolfgang Kaleck is using the justice system to do what nation-states will not or cannot.

@nemo Surely this is how things should be done, through the courts, present evidence have prosecution / defence and a proper trial.
@asic It was suggested I turn off updates, the issue Is I can't afford to buy a cartridge and not have it work, the whole model is designed to rip people off, and make perfectly good hardware non working so you are forced to buy newer models.

@asic HP SO using a HP 301.
Next printer will be a laser printer, ink tanks are starting to cost almost as much as a new printer.
My printer is now happy, new (and fuller) ink cartridge :).
@eionmac Indeed, this is part of my argument, we also need to create something on here that also makes people want to be on here as well as what they have on offer on closed platforms.

We need an immigration policy that is transparent and fair doesn't go out of its way to shame, degrade and humiliate the people who are looking for a better life.
I'm thankful that these first steps will be taken. We need permanent legislation and further steps, too. #Immigration

@PINE64 announced the end of the #pinephone community editions. Turns out the @mobian edition was the grand finale that could simply not be topped :-).

Facebook knew about violent extremists before insurrection, reports find [Updated] https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/01/despite-facebooks-attempts-pro-trump-events-groups-still-flourish/
So does this make Facebook Accessory and complicit in insurrection and perhaps the same in 5 counts of MURDER for the 5 deaths that took place.

The #Emacs diary is telling me that today is Groundhog Day.

Briar for desktop is in beta.
Here's the code and how to install it:

I have just asked what their thougths are on WhatsApp sharing data with facebook and users migrating to signal / telegram to avoid this.
@aral I am at a webinar now, they are talking about developing skills, some are based around data collection, data analytics, allowing a business to improve their service. I don't have the heart to give them the news that for me that is zero effective and that I block facecrap, block google anaytics
We do need to develop an alternative privacy focussed education solution.
Business needs to be on the fediverse but on our terms.

If you’re a developer in 2021 and you’re adding tracking devices from Google, Facebook, etc., to your sites and apps, the one thing you can’t do any longer is to feign innocence. You know exactly what you’re doing and you’re complicit in perpetuating surveillance capitalism.
@aral I have tried to blog google analytics at the /etc/hosts level.

I think if you install Debian with the Default Gnome front end you get wayland, otherwise you get Xorg and for me XFCE which for me is fine I have, older hardware but what I have works fine for my usage needs.
When Debian 11 comes out, it will be a fresh 11.0 install (much easier to avoid inheriting any issues). So I may end up with Wayland.

@sesivany @zleap @bugaevc I saw some post on Reddit last night about "simple tips to use hidpi on Linux" and it was an extremely long page with custom hacky configs to coax various programs to embiggen themselves on "4K" displays with X. https://blog.yossarian.net/2020/12/24/A-few-HiDPI-tricks-for-Linux
Meanwhile, with Wayland, you don't have to do a single thing. It just works.
