If you only do one thing on #DataPrivacyDay make it changing your search engine. Google and others learn a great deal about you based on what you search for.

There are better alternatives out there.

It is in our best interest as developers and users to work together in the fediverse.

Pixelfed is not competing with Mastodon or any other fedi project. The amount of MAU the whole fediverse has is under 1m users. A drop in the bucket compared to centralized, corporate, social media.

(MAU = Monthly Active Users)

My cousin is a very talented artist. Check his stuff out on instagram (@milomatthieu)

We're actually capable, if we choose to, to increase the amount of biomass Earth is capable of growing. We just need to change how we organise our cities. Stop covering everything in concrete and allow trees to grow.

Pinafore is now on Mastodon! (How meta is that?)

#OpenAudio is an instance of @funkwhale , which is part of the ActivityPub-powered Fediverse.

You can browse tens of thousands of music tracks that are legal to download and share at:

https://open.audio/library

Open.audio specialises in #CreativeCommons tracks and other #Libre music, much of it from the Free Music Archive (http://freemusicarchive.org/). The FMA has been under threat recently, so open.audio is a sort of lifeboat for the content.

Friend: Are you OK? You haven't posted on Instagram in ages
Me: I quit FB, Instagram, and Twitter.
Friend: Why'd you quit the internet?
Me: Actually I've *rejoined* the Internet.

Next time someone asked me why did I leave the internet, I'm gonna say I'm still very much on the Internet. When are *you* coming back?

our CEO Todd Weaver contrasts Purism as a Social Purpose Corporation with Big Tech: "The unregulated tech industry means that maximizing shareholder value, by definition, means to exploit society; that's why Big Tech exploits society..." #WomenLeadRadio https://www.blogtalkradio.com/connected-women-of-influence/2019/01/11/what-is-a-social-purpose-company

Looking forward to another great year at #FOSDEM! Plus #CHAOSSCon & #CopyleftConf too.

Our team is eager to talk about #FLOSS for social good, humanitarian response, international development, and general "saving the world" with #OpenSource.
