Sounds awfully familiar. I bet I’ll make a lot of friends if I repost it…

Me: All facts are true.
Every republican and democrat in unison: FALSE!

I'm telling you, w3m or any other text-based browser wins right here! The content we care about is usually text, forget about popups, ads, and subscription requests!

Not normally something I’d post. The Nazi claim is almost always deliberate hyperbole, but there’s no arguing the transitive property.

When something goes wrong with software from some large corporation, users are likely to blame themselves and assume they have done something "wrong". When similar problems happen using small FLOSS projects, users are likely to curse the developers.
The success of commercial software has a lot to do with the power dynamics. The user has to conform to the conditions set by the all-powerful publisher. But with FLOSS things are more equal and assigning blame is messier.

We're winning.
Apple has announced delays to its intended phone scanning tools while it conducts more research. But the company must go further, and drop its plans to put a backdoor into its encryption entirely. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/09/delays-arent-good-enough-apple-must-abandon-its-surveillance-plans

Australian police can now hack your device, collect or delete your data, take over your social media accounts - all without a judge's warrant. We must fight for our right to privacy!

Be a shame if someone were to script this out and publish a tool.
Anyone have any experience or opinions on self-hosting a single user fediverse instance? I like to tinker so it sounds like it could be an interesting homelab project for a boring afternoon. It might be fun just spinning up VMs and trying out all the different projects, but I don’t know what actual use I’d get out of it after that. Nerd stuff aside, having to be extra social to build up a network of follows/followers from scratch (i.e. without local or federated timelines) seems… tedious. Especially for someone who isn’t naturally gregarious.
