Best idea in town :D
I was wondering when the first automation was announced :D
F-Droid may be soon an app for iphone. The iPhone app store was opened for other app providers recently.
It has been 68 days since my last purchase on #Amazon

As #Mozilla is busy adding AI crap to #Firefox, I would like to point out that it's about 13 years since they removed the #RSS button from default Firefox GUI, and six years since RSS support was completely dropped from Firefox.
Thus making feeds invisible and impossible to discover for most web users.
RSS/Atom/JSON feeds are an immensely useful and important tech that can help solve the content discovery problem *without* going through gatekeepers. 👀
But obviously not a priority for Mozilla.

@atthenius When I bought my first monitor since 15yrs, a middle class Asus. It was a bummer.
The #luddites are back. Yesterday in #qualityland as fiction, today as critical thinkers of the technofuturistic mind.
There is a *Local First* movement I did not hear about until now:
"The local-first movement wants to bring the data back to the user while retaining the advantages of the internet."
Finally “Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK,” WikiLeaks said

"I’m no longer interested in encouraging the design of more human-centered versions of these murderous technologies, or to inform the more humane administration of complex algorithmic systems [...] I think we must forcefully put on the table the possibility that we will destroy systems that fail to make a compelling affirmative case for their existence. That threat must be credible. We should actively undermine and sabotage systems, and recognize that labor as a moral project that we engage in, the way luddites sabotaged machinery that tore people apart."
I think it's very encouraging to also see academics to start joining camp hashtag#luddite. For a long time even critical academic voices were too focused on salvaging the hashtag#AI space. To "get rid of the bad actors" or "introduce ethics" instead of allowing themselves to just say: "NO." And we need to start saying "NO" a _lot_ more.
