@mikegerwitz as an aside, I found a really great short documentary about Internet Archive recently: https://vidcommons.org/videos/watch/6f3de05c-bdbb-4ea2-ac38-3dd86f2d70f3

Unless you have a very good reason not to, or are publicly known anyway, there is really no need for you to use your real name or photo online.

Back in the 90s when i first discovered the internet, this was common knowledge. Nobody used their real name on forums or share personal information without considering the consequences. Those few who did were promptly told that's a bad idea.

It seems somehow we unlearned this, right when corporations started monetizing that information.

Any radical, international, distributed/federated free online universities exist?

If not, why not?

Can anyone recommend an #opensource alternative to Google Translate? I just tried Apertium but I can't get it to work. https://www.apertium.org/index.eng.html?dir=cat-eng#translation

So, this is official. #Mozilla is willing to install addons into your #Firefox to collect your data silently in the background without consent.

Some twitter v. Mastodon tips for all of the lovely new tooters:

When you like a tweet on twitter, a swarm of AIs spin into action, analysing every aspect of the tweet and trying so desperately to find the matching tweet to show you next that will keep you scrolling, lest their masters decommission them in favor of a new version.

When you fave a toot on Mastodon, there aren't any AIs; you just made another human being across the world feel nice.

Problems we are having with #Signal:
* It is and will remain centralized (clear strategy of *not* federating servers)
* It requires strong identifiers/selectors (phone#) to use
* Author disallows distribution by anyone but Google, although free/libre
* It keeps pushing away verification of fingerprint in interface
* It relies on Google+Amazon infrastructure
* Its funding is shady (OTF = Radio Free Asia = USG)

= clearly unethical choices, unjustifiable by accessibility or technological reasons.
