this is the most succinct response I've ever seen to the comment "but Android is Linux!!"

Anyone developing #fediverse software doing so, or wanting to do so, as a cooperative, ideally both worker-owned and answerable to donors democratically?

餡，點心中所實之物也。或為菜、筍、菰、〈【茭白也。】〉蕈，或為牛、羊、豕、雞、鴨、魚、蝦之肉，味皆鹹。或為豬油雞油而加以果實，則甜。 (《清稗类钞·饮食类·點心之餡》)

Have you heard of Device Neutrality? The term is known mostly in academia but it is useful to every user.

https://fsfe.org/activities/deviceneutrality/index

#DeviceNeutrality means:

🖥️ Free choice of OS and software that run on our devices.

📡 Free choice to connect our devices with different service providers.

↔️ Interoperable and open standards-compliant devices.

🔍 Publication of the source code of drivers, tools, and interfaces under a free software license.

📂 Control over personal data in devices.

Does anyone keep a public reading/listening log that includes not only books they're reading but also articles/podcasts in chronological order? Or seen any good examples? I'm thinking of starting one.

Please boost/retweet :)

上善若水。水善利萬物而不爭，處衆人之所惡，故幾於道。

The highest good is like water.
Water's goodness benefits all things, without striving.
It dwells in places the masses hate.
Hence it is near to the Dao.

I read most #books from the #library. Might a #librarian near you be willing to request a copy through interlibrary loan?

I buy few books. Instead I #donate to the #Literacy Project (in Greenfield, MA), the Northampton Survival Center, SEE International (to cure #blindness) or other nonprofits. (Or I help out my extended family . . .)

Here are causes I support, in part to carry on Marc Steinberg's (1956-2019) legacy: https://marcsteinberg.org/causes/ @BobDevney @chowleen @Elijahrempe

Tonight in the center of Chengdu protesters call for freedom of speech and freedom of the press. These are not students isolated in a university, this is in the heart of Chengdu. Not long after, plain clothes police officers started arresting people and putting them on buses that are seen in the background. Protesters in Shanghai have already demanded the release of those arrested last night on Urumuqi Road, I would not be surprised to see a similar demand in Chengdu tomorrow #ChinaProtests
