Consumers' opinions should play a decisive role in determining project direction. You're lucky if you happen to belong to the group of consumers and engaged in building the thing at the same time but, it doesn't always happen.
The Ayn Rand philosophy runs the tech world, and produces products like Google, Facebook. We must free the Libre world out of that tunnel vision. User friendly configuration, complexity reduction, and modular design over magic and "I know this is the best way to do it"

Please remember that when Trump was caught stealing #Fediverse software, the #legacyMedia said he was attacked by hackers.
They made #Trump the f&cking victim!
Please keep this at the forefront of your mind. A sign on the fridge to remind you how great our plight is.
Draw signs with permanent marker on corflute to advertise #Fediverse, #GNULinux, and other #freedomSoftware you love. Attach them to your vehicle whereever you park it.
Time to rise.

This is close enough, at leas we have this option.
It is me or does the west seem incapable of finding people to actually lead a country.
in the UK, we have Boris Johnson who seems a complete idiot at times.
@davidgasquez I am currently listening to the BBC radio dramatisation of this, totally different to the film, and probably far closer to the book.
@stux This is why I would consider a pine phone, if I can physically remove the GPS module then the location services are disabled full stop.
Why can't he just hand over the reigns to Kamala Harris, or is the issue that would make her the first Black Female president.
@Fenix Do they not run background checks on people before they take up their post.

#GNU Emacs is so much more than a text editor -- it's an entire workflow environment, loved by free software supporters around the world. Get the new GNU Emacs Manual, Nineteenth edition, for Emacs 27.2, at the GNU Press Shop: https://u.fsf.org/3ff

Without free (as in freedom) software, we cannot and will not have a free society. Take the next step to software freedom and help us reach 500 new associate members by December 31! #userfreedom https://u.fsf.org/fall21
@JustTwisty I think we need to make our own communities / friends on here.

@morgenthau @lanodan @alcinnz @avalos @DHeadshot which is why those of us fortunate enough to not have those existential threats should a) work to help those who have them, and b) defuse the digital threats that they haven't had the headspace or access to tech to confront yet, before they have to do so.

@morgenthau @DHeadshot @alcinnz @avalos that's why, for my day job, we've created this: https://oeru.org/learning-in-a-digital-age/ (openly licensed materials, mobile-friendly, and all delivered via #FOSS).
@freemo I have added my suggestion for citing posts to the issue tracker as suggested. There is no immediate rush for this, it is just an idea so open to discussion(s).
