Disclaimer: ho utilizzato Mastodon fino a ieri quindi non intendo certo demonizzarlo (ci scherzo un po' sopra ), prendete questo post come una riflessione sulla sua mastodontica ingombranza nel mondo #ActivityPub

#SomeOrdinaryGamers' latest video about #PewDiePie #degoogling brought up the usual #privacy-denialist normie quote "they already have my information." This is absolute nonsense: there is "static" information that #BigTech would already have like your full name, date of birth, home address, etc., but there is more volatile info that they cannot have already gotten and that should be protected, like your circles of friends and colleagues, the places you visit, your beliefs and interests, etc.

🇮🇹 Digitalizzare INPS, Inail e Istat sembra essere stato solo un immenso spreco di soldi

La società 3-i spa nasceva con l’idea di unificare le competenze informatiche di INPS, Inail e Istat sotto un unico tetto. Un progetto ambizioso, pensato per creare una società pubblica dedicata allo sviluppo software per modernizzare la pubblica amministrazione, in linea con gli obiettivi del PNRR e lanciato durante il governo Draghi.

The conversation on Fedora 32 bit libs has ended for now and the result is it's going to be delayed at least for now, it's a problem with legitimate technical merit but there's still some work to get everything ready https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f44-change-proposal-drop-i686-support-system-wide/156324/400

#Bluetooth was a mistake: Millions of Bluetooth headphones can potentially be turned in eavesdropping devices. Best-seller #Sony and #Bose #headphones are affected by at least some of the disclosed flaws among many others. The true dimension of these flaws is yet unknown as the the vulnerable component is very widely in use under different names.

Reality is more grim and deranged than the most unthinkable conspiracy theories.

Using "AI" is no longer optional at Microsoft. Reminds me how when Meta had to force their engineers to use their "Metaverse" product.

If your product doesn't even gain traction internally, maybe it's just ... shit?

thanks audacity for greeting me with a cloud service

European authoritarians and their enablers in the media are misrepresenting GrapheneOS and even Pixel phones as if they're something for criminals. GrapheneOS is opposed to the mass surveillance police state these people want to impose on everyone.

Microsoft "asking" you to buy a 365 subnoscription after every update with the only options being "remind me in X days" or "take my money" is only materially worse than apple deciding that I'm not allowed to use macOS after the latest update without A) being connected to the internet, and B) setting up their stupid BETA applet with the only other option being "later".

Neither of these companies are your friend. Neither deserves your respect, nor loyalty. If you have a use for their product or services, so beit. But don't fall for the lie that they are the only options. The year of the Linux desktop might be a meme, but I swear on God almost none of my family would even notice if I gave them a laptop with fedora or mint.

There are absolutely some specific cases where industry specific software is only available on some specific platform. But those cases are shrinking by the day, and I'd argue the majority of cases are at a point where it's better to learn and support the alternatives as ...
