I used to love academia. Now I just want to be friends with it. Antifascist. Pro-people. Love me some music. Sometimes I make it. Love photos. Sometimes I take them. Love my kid. Always and forever.
Statements here do not represent the views of my employer. This should probably be obvious.

"I'm saying that it's good praxis to understand these divisions in capitalism, because then we can exploit those differences to make real, material gains for human thriving and worker rights. Lumping all for-profit businesses together as identical and irredeemable is bad tactics." "My answer to 'why spend money fixing Bluesky?' is 'why leave 20 million people at risk of enshittification when we could not only make them safe, but also create the toolchain to allow many, many organizations to operate a whole federation of Bluesky servers?' If you care about a better internet – and not just the Fediverse – then you should share this goal, too." @pluralistic politely but firmly calling the purity-testing, gatekeeping leftists (and Fediversians) on the carpet and it's a discussion that is always timely. I am here for it. https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/20/capitalist-unrealism/ #doctorow #enshittification #leftism #progressive #liberal #corporate #socialmedia |

Föderation EN Mo 06.01.2025 18:03:31 Nextcloud, this is kind of assholey. No, I don't "value low cost over root access to the machine." I value my time and my data. I don't have the knowledge to manage security threats to my own machine (therefore pretty much all of my family's data), opened to the Big Wide Internet, and I enjoy the fact that the environment (e.g., SQL+nginx etc.) is set up and managed by my host, so I don't have to become a sysadmin to have a low-budget, self-hosted dropbox. *Edit*: Nextcloud has been great and also a huge hassle. Upgrading is always (ALWAYS) a multi-hour or multi-day process for me, and there are constant headaches with little things that don't work (e.g., authentication with my mobile sync app, for some reason). I'm already considering paying #proton for some stuff, so I think in about February, if I can't get my major NC hassles fixed, I'll just ditch it once and for all and use Proton Drive, which seems secure and easy to use, even though it's not #FOSS. I really don't have time to go get a second degree in systems administration right now. Medien: 1 |
