if i had a blank smart watch i might find some good uses for it. blank as in: it comes with a kernel and you code the rest.

I just wanted to send some ♥️ to a handful of the many amazing #FreeSoftware projects that I benefit from regularly, namely:

@PINE64 For starting the mobile Linux revolution!

@kde and specifically #PlasmaMobile for taking my fave DE mobile!

#UBports Linux mobile... shiny!

#K9 - Fab email app, mainly by one person (currently fundraising to go full time)

#Fedilab ( @apps ) Making the Fediverse a pleasure to use. Thanks for sticking around!

#OpenWRT

#HomeAssistant

#Linux

and many others!

If our #privacy is only worth that much, then why can't we pay to keep it?

I'd gladly pay more than $70 a year in a heartbeat to use all of the popular platforms with guarantees of 100% privacy.

We need someone to do for privacy what #Spotify did for music. Charge users and then broker deals to pay part of it to the platforms in exchange to them agreeing to stringent privacy standards on that account, such as collecting zero data, no ads/analytics etc.

Take my money... Please.

So I haven't posted any Sims 4 stuff here for a while, but that's because I succumbed to the dark side and made a Simblr blog for all my simming adventures.

I'm currently having a ton of fun writing and sharing the gameplay of my Faux-Legacy save, and I also made some CC that I'm pretty proud of. If that sounds like fun to you, click through and check it out! ^^

I am planning on setting up a “small business” (eventually transforming it into a cooperative, if others join) refurbishing computers, so I can make a little more money than my welfare payment.

I will, by default, be providing free operating systems for the completed computers. I will also be conducting computer literacy classes for people who really want to have a computer, but don’t feel comfortable using one.

What should I name the enterprise?

Suggestions:

Mutual Aid Computing Society
Epicurean Computers
Data Processing Freedom

Key concepts:

Software Freedom
Communist Anarchism
GNU/Linux/BSD
Cyberpunk/Solarpunk
Social Ecology
Interpersonal Friendliness, Kindness, Empathy

Have you ever heard the story of the hummingbird and the fire?

@lupyuen This is brilliant. I might be able to repurpose my old Psion 5 for something I never thought of.

Now, where did I store it??

@theruran I kinda get that vibe from following @lupyuen

The Bob Ross show but for wholesome programming fun. ​
