    @mxmehl @jz @fsfe The choice you describe is whether I want to be oppressed with proprietary tools, or with free tools, and probably tools the incorporate code I've written myself.

    I'd really like to not be oppressed at all, thanks.

    Corollary: Software freedom is inherently political.

    Even open source is, even if its origin story tries to avoid that.

    I dislike the term "slave" for "CI build worker". My own CI software uses "worker" instead, but a lot of CI software seems to be stuck in the offensive nomenclature.

    Hmm. Mastodon allows you to declare which language you're posting in, but as a global setting. Changing that's awkward if you'd want to post in different language every so often.

    Finnish is not derived from Latin, and the English style of classical education, which included studies of Latin, is not common in Finland.

    It always amuses when I encounter the Latin "per se" mistyped with the space.

    a) Use a password manager.
    b) Use a different password for every account.
    c) Use only randomly generated passwords that are at least 16 characters long. Longer is better.
    d) Use 2FA when available.

    There may be other things you should do, but that should be a base level that's not bad.

    For the holidays, you could say thank you to some of the people who write free software you use, especially software that isn't hugely popular.

    Those of us who write little-known software may go for months without hearing from a user, and it can be a little de-motivating.

    Hearing from someone who actually uses one's software gives an energising jolt that can carry one through several weeks of darkness and cold and wet.
