@aral Wow. Let's have a human rights conference sponsored by tech companies that routinely provide data on dissidents or censorship services for counties that oppress human rights!

This is how it begins... #openSUSE is now in the #Fediverse as well!

Hah! Ich habe DAS Argument für Mastodon. Eure Nutzernamen sind noch verfügbar!

If you want to really de-googlify The Net, decentralized search engine should be the first step: http://yacy.net/

The sad thing is, YaCy's stuck in a spiral. It's not very usable as a everyday search because there's not enough peers and they can't index The Whole Internet, so people go away, the search has less peers, indexes less sites…

There is one use case where you add your favorite sites and get a truly personalized search, but again, one computer can't index the whole net.

Ich finde schräg, wie in der #BGE Debatte oft über die Arbeit der Anderen gesprochen wird.

Seit heute ist Pixelfed im Fediverse 🤗https://pixelfed.social/p/dansup/23600
Das ist ungefähr so, wie wenn man als Twitter-Nutzer bei Instagram einen Facebook-Post kommentieren könnte, nur ohne Datenschutzprobleme.

Reicht alles nicht, um die Leute davon abzubringen, bzw. um die öffentlich-rechtlichen Sender davon abzubringen, massiv Werbung dafür zu machen:
Datenschutzverstöße bei Facebook, die dieses Jahr öffentlich geworden sind, bei Netzpolitik.org:

The thing is, all of us have used federated networks all our lives.

Telephones are federated, email is federated, the postal service is federated, telegrams and telegraphs (when they existed) were federated. People understood them and still do, as long as they've been exposed to such things.

Everyone knows you can phone anyone even if they're on a different phone company.

In a recent toot I implicitly stated that (android) apps can track your location using network information (SSID, MAC, cell tower). Can somebody confirm this? I'm pretty sure it should be possible but I never wrote a andoid app myself...

BTW: do you know of somebody who reversed WhatsApp & Co. to see what they really do behind the scenes?

Is there a good, no-university-login, non-google alternative to scholar.google.com?

I use it on the regular, but would love to move away from google if possible.
