@matthieuaubry watched 'The Great Hack' and found it super interesting. It tells the story of how Cambridge Analytica helped influence the US elections as well as Brexit (and other events), by exploiting FB ads and data. On

People might also not know Mastodon is not the only type of social media sites that interact here.

There is also:

@pixelfed (Like Instagram)

Peertube (Like YouTube)

(You can see how they look in the pictures in the order that they are mentioned)

If you have Facebook "like" buttons embedded on your website, it could make you liable for breaking GDPR privacy laws, even if it's Facebook doing the illegal stuff:

You can protect your site from legal liability (and protect your users' privacy) by removing all Facebook like buttons.

Please tell your employers/organisations about this ruling, it may help convince them that Facebook is toxic (or at least that embedded like buttons are toxic).

The thing people miss about #desktop #Linux is: it's not that Linux users are using Linux purely for ideology, in most cases. If I could get everything done on Windows in a similar amount of time with a similar level of satisfaction, I probably would.

But I can't. I can't use a tiling WM. I can't use BTRFS or ZFS for my external storage cluster. I can't have a decent package manager or functioning containerization or a command-line driven workflow.

Tech enthusiast: "I want smart lights, smart tv, everything, and connect them all to my digital assisstant!"

Tech worker: *looks wistfully into distance* "I should get a small place in a little town, with a garden, make my own furniture."

"Does your face recog work at night?"
"At night you need infrared, and cross-match to normal photos. It's less reliable. We have a new system with silent autonomous drones, capturing hi-res 3D models using sonar."
"You've made cyborg bats?"
"Only need a non-trademarked name."

Seems like missing out the 'No' button is the hot new UX trend now

If you look like your driver's license photo -- see a doctor.
If you look like your passport photo -- it's too late for a doctor.

I would like to thank you @fdroidorg
Not only for your answer to the current matter but for all the work you provide.
I guess that everyone wants to use the Fediverse for catching best friendly moments. Yes, I will never censor instances but I will always provide best tools for everyone.
You are and will remain the best place for foss apps. And I am happy and proud that Fedilab have its place with all other amazing apps that you provide.
So simply, thank you 🙏

@HYPERLINK ah yes, as opposed to its Adults Only variant, Arial FUCK

@maloki
Because I got a lot of pressure coming from people that told me that my app will be banned. I blocked Gap and I wrote to Google. I didn't get a reply, after weeks so there was no reasons to keep it.
I fully support the work of Tusky devs but not the destroying one of their CM.
Because she is playing with this situation, by boosting horrible and defamatory toots concerning my work.
