Jeg og Mina Adampour deltar i Litteraturhusets ytringsfrihetskommisjon i dag kl 15 i Oslo. Mitt innlegg handler om sosial ytringsfrihet og hvorfor det ytringsliberale bildet av offentligheten ikke stemmer. http://litteraturhuset.no/arrangement/ytringsfrihet/mina-adampour-og-bjorn-staerk/

Les også Ytringsfrihet annotert, boka som krangler så mye med seg selv at både den og førsteutgaven har fått hver sin Minerva-anmeldelse av samme anmelder, den første skryt og den andre slakt. https://www.haugenbok.no/Generell-litteratur/Debatt-samfunn/Ytringsfrihet-annotert/I9788269159905

Eg las ein stad at Amazon-grundaren Jeff Bezos vil kolonisere verdsrommet for å frelse vekstkapitalismen frå grensene som naturmiljøet på kloden inneber. Er det kanskje ein god ting? Kan vi sende rikingane ut i rommet og la dei styre på der før jorda er fullstendig øydelagt?

man veit man slit me oppmerksomheten nårr man blir distrahert av SNL artikkelen om klinkekule 😔

We seek alternatives for unethical, black-box, proprietary software and online platforms. Someone in our free software forum, asked whether there is an alternative for a platform like Dubsmash / Musically which went viral last year.

https://discuss.fsftn.org/t/alternative-for-dubsmash-and-musically/1020

I was personally not in favour of writing an FOSS alternative for every X,Y,Z primarily because I don't see them as an alternative. For me alternative means not to be the replacement of something in place of the other thing. For the alternative means, alternative in it's fundamental sense.

A FOSS alternative that mimics all behaviours of a toxic proprietary software is not an alternative at all. It's just alternative in technical sense and not an alternative in it's behavioural sense. These toxic behaviours are called anti-features.

An FOSS alternative should not overwhelm us, should help us use less with more focus and less time consuming thus not stealing our attention, should not promote the Fear of Missing Out. If a FOSS application or platform has anti-features, it is not an heathy alternative.

If Fediverse overwhelm us with infinite information feed, seeks our attention often, then that's not an healthy alternative. The apps and their interfaces shapes our behaviour.

To practice Digital #Minimalism means to know what to use, when to use and why to use.

God morgen!

Need some good open source and encrypted alternatives to Signal. Reason why: i need a chat app i can use without giving away my phone number to half the planet. So until Signal solves the problem of givin away phone numbers to everyone. I am in the market for a secondary messeging app. (Wire is off the list)

Heisann folkens. Eg er usikker på om eg har lagt ut om denne trioen før, men dei er så flinke at dei er verdt å poste om ein gong til!

Valkyrien Allstars er eit folkemusikk-band beståande tå tre hardingfeler og nokon gongar ein toradar. Desse er verdt sterkt å høyra på!

Tuva Syvertsen (hovudsangaren) er med på Kver Gong Vi Møtast no, det er svært kjekt!

Her er mine topp tre låtar tå Valkyrien Allstars:
Grøfter
Å Gjev Du Batt Meg
Ikke Gå

Ha ein strålande kveld vidare!

Eg har no i to dagar nytta #Thunderbird til å rydde i fleire tusen gamle e-postar. Det er det beste programmet eg så langt har vore borti på den fronten. Og attpåtil gratis! (sjølv om eg sterkt tilrår å gje ein slant til #Mozilla.) #takksam

@lilletale wait is your display name a reference to this sketch? https://youtu.be/8_iixmqSBQw

You can #unboost toots you previously boosted. Simply find the toot and click the blue rectangular blue arrows. The tooltip text misleadingly says 'boost' instead of 'unboost'.

This is good for cleaning up your timeline.

No som selen i #Drammen har fått namnet Selfie (https://www.dt.no/nyheter/drammen/dyr/leserne-har-talt-dette-er-selens-nye-navn/s/5-57-1303174) kan ein ikkje unngå å tenke på denne: https://invidio.us/watch?v=XNkX1pYK1tM

Mozilla just laid off 70 fantastic people. If you can help them - open positions, offering helpful conversations and references, anything else - please say so.

Use #MozillaLifeboat as an umbrella tag for easy finding. (It's already flowing on the birdsite.)

If you've been affected, I'm happy to chat directly. Also have some open positions (see rest of this thread). But doesn't have to be today - take time to recover if you can.

Most of all: thank you folks for making the web better.

#windows7 😱

If you are looking to change your windows 7 installation as artist, why not go with Linux?

Linux is free of cost and will always have support for your computer. Really, it has never been a better time to make the switch! 😁

Here are two types of linuxes that might grab your attention:

1. @elementary https://elementary.io/

2. @ubuntustudio http://ubuntustudio.org/
