We probably have to finally recognize that those who have been left out of the social contract, find no reason to adhere to a social contract, which is why you're seeing protests turning into riots.

i built a tool for quickly scrubbing metadata from images and selectively painting / blurring faces and identifiable features. it runs on a phone or computer directly in the browser, and doesn't send info anywhere:

I guess I did not search well enough, but I did not manage to find a paper-toy Mastodon.

So I thought I might make one.

Mastodon : unleash the paper toy o/

ps : it is based on the original 2D design. do you know who did it ?

Super flattering post about my MOOC and how the Open Credit Network hopes to shape the COVID recession https://medium.com/@dilgreen/the-money-and-society-mooc-d92f38fec623

“Certainement qui est en droit de vous rendre absurde est en droit de vous rendre injuste.” – François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire, 1765)

(Certainly anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.)

Brilliant project that tidies up public domain ebooks.

Gutenberg and Internet Archive are wonderful resources, but the texts are poorly formatted for actual use, especially on ereaders.

This is a volunteer driven initiative to bring these texts up to date with modern standards and make them look as good as possible on the page.

Governments around the world have tried for many years to gain access to cell phone location data without a warrant. After COVID-19, they may get it.

My word, how many ad services does one android app need??

https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/122158/

22 trackers in this one app! More than 6 ad services!

Consider using #aurorastore , the play store that actually protects you when you download an app. 'Cause somehow, #google thinks 6+ ads services is appropriate…

Hey everyone! Sometimes the communities here on Mastodon can feel a little sparse, so let's fix that and make an artist thread where we can find each other, and let others find us too! Recommend me your fav artists here on Mastodon!

Check below for my own and others' recommendations! Post links to your friends, or promote your own art!

Then boost so everyone else can see them too!

The people are asleep; they remain indifferent. They forge their own chains and do the bidding of their masters to crucify their Christs.

An app whose trackers you can’t opt out from, that’s not available on older phones and only works when operating when acting in the foreground… Sounds not-so-great? Well that’s what the UK gov has in store for us.
