   In general I think folks should run their own instances of !gnusocial if they can. That reduces the problems of administration and makes the fediverse more robust to failures or censorship.

   @bobjonkman FOSS is more likely to be secure on average, but that doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of insecure things. Also it's not just about checking the source but also about the developer knowing that their code might be checked in future while writing it. That's an important psychological deterrent against backdoors, antifeatures and other malware getting into FOSS.

   One thing which is becoming clearer over time is that you can't really have software freedom unless you also have hardware freedom. That applies especially to things like phones, but also Intel ME and similar. So the free software foundation might eventually become the free technology foundation. Also if you consider the industry trends with Moore's law on silicon hitting…

   Someone ought to make a comic strip out of #balaclavaman
   
   He keeps trying to fix his chronic laptop posture problems.
   
   He always types wearing biker gloves, and is barely able to manage to type "password" without all kinds of amusing typos.
   
   He often bumps into doors because his balaclava keeps slipping over his eyes.

   The Talos power8 thing. Eh, ok, but it's ridiculously expensive. I'm not all that interested in free hardware for rich people only.

    @maiyannah @verius @sim equality of outcome is like the government schemes which treat everyone identically regardless of their actual needs. Alexander Berkman mentions this dichotomy in Now and After and says that in most cases equality of opportunity is the most desirable thing although in some cases equalizing outcome helps to build confidence. He gives the example of po…

    @maiyannah if folks can be bothered to tell you that you're wasting your time then you might be onto something. If what you're doing is genuinely irrelevant then they'd just ignore you.
