Free, subsidized world-wide shipping for products from China is a price we just can't afford to pay.

On the contrary, we're overpaying for this by further destroying our environment and economies.

Mind you: I'm not trying to bash Chinese products here. But please, let's not pretend shipping something worth $5 across the entire globe is something you'll get for free.

Decentralize your world.

There is of course #mastodon as federated social media.

There is good old #email as federated postbox (as long as not everyone uses GMail).

There is #peertube as a federated video platform.

There is #Riot / Matrix.org as federated group messaging.

There is #XMPP for federated 1on1 messaging.

And there is #nextcloud as federated cloud storage.

In theory most services are already federated. We only miss more users :)

@fribbledom not as weird as it would be if we made triangular pizzas, put them in circular boxes, and cut them into squares.

The #Huawei debate falls too short. Security and trust can only be established by

1) releasing the code of critical infrastructure as #FreeSoftware and
2) implementing measures to verify code integrity.

A simple ban or secret audit won't help.

mfw i realize my phone that was designed to fail after a few years was literally called "Nexus 6"

@kuketzblog Ist es nicht faszinierend, dass aus einer Software zum Betrachten des Internet eine Software zur Abwehr des Internets wird?

The @fsfe@twitter.com booth at #FOSDEM is full of geeky stickers and interesting info material. Compile your own package or bring it to your friends, colleagues, your local hackerspace ...

@kylerankin When you see cheap electronics, realize that often the hardware cost is subsidized by spyware agreements and selling user data.

Sometimes low-tech is a cooler solution than high-tech.

This sensor device detects if your package was handled roughly during transport: no electronics, just clever engineering.

Want to use a link shortener on #Mastodon?

Don't! All links in Mastodon posts count for 23 characters, no matter how long they really are.
