People say, "The Internet is forever".

This is not true. So much on the Internet has disappeared. I would state further that more has disappeared from the Internet than currently what exists.

This is one reason I wish that a P2P content delivery system was the default: because not only would it deliver information faster, information would depend less on WHERE it is and more on WHAT it is -- thereby creating an avenue for redundancies.

#telegram is rolling out its premium plan. It’s one thing to get your #privacy invaded for free; it’s a whole other thing to pay for it.

Really great thread on the power of just one guy saying “that’s not acceptable” to a group of guys. Even when drunk and out with pals. threadreaderapp.com/thread/153

“Starting today, Firefox is rolling out Total Cookie Protection by default to all Firefox users worldwide, making Firefox the most private and secure major browser available across Windows, Mac and Linux”

One of the hardest things about becoming a mom is having less time for this little guy because kiddo wants to grab and squeeze and touch him whenever she sees him.

Not safe for either of them, but especially him. So one on one time is while she is in nursery.

Today is a bad day. It’s really hard when someone is obsessed with their pet metric being hit or missed over the emotional and physical well-being of the people the metric is about. I’m not sure what category of emotional or cognitive cause this is related to or how to begin to try and entreat a change. And I’m tired.

Hey everyone :ablobcatwave:

Just a reminder, you can see all the recommendations of accounts to follow ever made on FediFollows organised into nice categories at:

mastodon.online/@FediFollows/1

As I post about more recommendations, they will automatically appear in this directory under whatever hashtags I've used on the post.

Also, many of the categories have multiple pages now. To see the next page click on "show older" at the bottom of the page.

“There are many commentators drawing comparisons between ‘Cryptocurrency mania’ and the South Sea Bubble, and note that, ‘promoters of the Bubble made impossible promises.’ Perhaps historians of the future will have cause to look back with similar incredulity on today’s market. Only time will tell. “

Pragmatically, this does potentially mean that European companies could leverage our regional privacy rights to become a data equivalent of Swiss banks.

I cannot recommend that regular folk try and get heroku to run an app like this. So that leaves something like confluence to be their knowledge managment app.

The situation sucks. But it’s a wake up call to take open source more seriously and that easy of installation /setup will determine how many “normies” adopt these tools.

Cloud computing made it easier for small businesses and individuals to have the kinds of productivity tools you used to need and IT person running a server to install.

But that relied on trusting that your data was safe and only would be accessible if you were breaking the law.

When the law changes because all the cloud apps are hosted in a single country that no longer respects individual privacy anymore, then we’re up 💩 creek.

So basically it seems the best available self hosted & open source option is “outline”, but since there’s a hosted SAAS version from the devs, there’s no info on how to self host it. janejeon.dev/running-outline-w

Is there anything like notion.so that is based in Europe or self hosted?

I have so much personal data in there (personal budget, baby’s milk tracker, etc) and the imminent death of personal privacy in the US is making me want to switch all my apps.

Really excited about this SVG alternative to Figma for

Made right here in Madrid!

Consider boosting?
