HAH Mastodon banned me already. That's fine, I was just checking that my crossposter worked.

If you’re interested in social media that is harder to censor, take a look at Nostr. Unlike Facebook or X, Nostr is not owned or controlled by one company. You control your identity, and your posts can be shared through many independent servers. If one server blocks you or shuts down, you can simply use another - without losing your identity or followers. It’s a simple idea that could have huge implications for freedom online: nostr.how/en/get-started

I will stop posting about these clowns soon, but it's important for folks to understand just how much the nuttery has been holding Linux back. And this is exemplary: Omarchy is a pupped-controlled plot to make people like agents by BIG AI!! 🤣

I have so much love for several people on this list. @jack, fiatjaf, and @alexgleasonator. They are my people. 🫂💜🤙🏻

I don't actually believe that anyone but a tiny fringe want what this has turned into. There's so much preference falsification going around in Linux right now. And that's perfectly understandable when the penalty of heresy was excommunication. But we're done with that now.

twitter and square were built upon David's work, tools, and principles. he's a force for good.

Oh noes!! The clowns have made a little website that rants left and right about the evils of "fashware" and capitalism and all the many (MANY!) people you have to boycot. And lots of non-Omarchy ones thrown in for good measure 🤣 stopomarchy.neocities.org/

A Call From the Hearts of Our Orphans ❤️🏠 Our message of hope continues to live in our hearts and minds. Every day, we carry the responsibility of caring for our children and building a place they can truly call home. We know that our call for help may reach many people, but only a few may be able to stop, listen, and hear the voices behind our message—the voices of children who are full of hope for a better future. Today, we respectfully renew our call for support toward the construction of our home for the orphans. This is more than just a building. It is a place where our children can grow with dignity, safety, love, education, and hope. To every donor, supporter, and friend who has listened to us, supported us, shared our story, or simply kept us in your prayers—we are deeply grateful. Your kindness reminds us that we are not walking this journey alone. We continue to believe that, together, we can turn this dream into a permanent home for our children. Our call is simple: hear their voices, share their hope, and help us bring their home closer to completion. 🏠❤️ May Allah reward everyone who contributes to this journey and make every act of kindness a source of lasting الخير. #OrphansOfUganda #BuildTheirHome #SupportOrphans #HopeForOrphans #BitcoinForGood #BitcoinAsia

Already in the @SoapboxTech Armada group chat. Love what y'all are doing. Keep building! It'll be increasingly clear in the coming months/years that this is the correct Bitcoiner approach.

45 days ago a government tried to delete code from the internet to stop people from talking. It failed, because you can't delete math. Open protocols are the exit, and the door is open. nostrhub.io to start, use armada.buzz or buzz.xyz to gather, and gitworkshop.dev or nostrhub.io to build. Pura vida. 🤙 Derek Ross Developer Relations Soapbox — soapbox.pub/ Nostr — njump.me/npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3… "The purple pill helps the orange pill go down."

Google is slowly turning Android into a walled garden. Starting September, certified Android devices will block apps from unverified developers. Sideloading gets harder. Independent stores get squeezed. “Open platform” was always temporary. GrapheneOS stays free. No Google gatekeeper. No forced developer registration. No artificial limits on what you can install. Just a hardened system that still respects the user. While Android gets more locked down every year, GrapheneOS keeps the actual freedom part. Privacy and control > corporate permission.

With @VectorPrivacy With Armada.buzz (@SoapboxTech) With @AsgardP2P With @keet_io With @Jami All these encrypted messaging services are decentralized and will never ask for your phone number, and they're free! Stop wasting your time with centralization...
