@thor if you have become afflicted with "the google", there are 2 treatments I can recommend:
1. Yacy (still kind of experimental, use with patience)
2. searx.me (self-hosting is recommended)
😉

'Thought for the day'
".. think about what you do, and
think about who you are, and
think about what you say ..."

#duckietv chrome extension KILLS my CPU ...

@paulfree14 @Pasty I've always thought #bitcoin can become centralised to a degree:
Whoever holds the most/biggest miners or mining networks can essentially control the network ...
It's hard for ordinary users to have their own wallets, so many ordinary users just use the hosted wallet services.
Fewer nodes = less decentralisation

Oh, I see - you mean "random words" like:

#btc #bitcoin #economy #cryptocurrency #currency #money #Faircoin #Ethereum #Monero #fediverse

@Pasty you don't like hashtags?
You are opposed to (easily?) finding posts by topic/tag in the #fediverse ?

@Pasty you really think it will?
I'll be glad if it does. Makes more room for #Faircoin #Ethereum #Monero 👍

Remember when it was predicted that #bitcoin would first bubble, then burst?
When was that predicion made?
When was the bubble/burst supposed to happen?
Can anyone remember? Does anyone know what I am talking about?

#btc #bitcoin #economy #cryptocurrency #currency #money

Trying out #PureOS.
First problem. No drivers for my APU without adding non-free to sources.
Second problem, the sources.list entry for security updates = "error: no release file"
😒

@cwebber What actually happened to #Ubuntu #Convergence ?
I have this not-fully-formed #conspiracytheorist feeling nagging at me, "like a spllinter in my mind" (as Morpheus would say)

@deviant IKR

when #nginx fails to start, but there is no data in any logs anywhere to give a reason why ....

@tobykurien I, for one, and highly pedantic about FLOSS (not just oss, but FLoss - haha).
I think it matters all the more with the advent of AI, deep learning and wearable/implantable tech.
What "software for social change" do you build at work?

@jrswab @PresGas
I will give #yalp a whirl

In #keybase I can't load a profile pic except from #github or #twitter ?
ppsshh

@PresGas @jrswab It's not on F-droid, no apk and I don't #google. Do I need to build it to get it on my mobile?

@tobykurien
#Question : what is your perspective on "Free/libre opensource software" in the context of social change?
I ask because it seems to me that most (all?) of the online platforms, tools and services that I have come across which claim to want to bring about change in #southafrica are using proprietary systems.
Thoughts?

@enough14
True Story. However, I do just want to point out that this is NOT what #Madiba wanted. The #ANC he came back to you was not the one he left behind all those years ago.
It sickens me that this is what we have become.

But - the winds of change, they are a-blowin' ...
