Did you know you can export your Mastodon Follows and other things as simple text files? That way if your instance dies, you can simply join another one and import those backups.
It's in your Preferences under 'Import and export'.
I thought I'd mention it, since I often forget to do it for too long.

#Opensource is a development methodology; free software is a social movement. For the Open Source movement, non-free software is a suboptimal solution. For the #FreeSoftware movement, non-free software is a social problem and Free Software  is the solution

Is there such a thing as "Login with Mastodon"? It would be pretty easy to make I think.

https://codeberg.org is a great git-hosting website. Thanks so much for hosting it @codeberg!

Anybody use #TiddlyWiki? I want to search for a phrase, and all the help I find is way over my head, technical. Putting it in quotation marks (e.g., "Dt 20") doesn't work. What's the secret? Why so complicated?

It must be demanded that all teleconferencing/remote working platforms must be free and open source. Ppl should be able to inspect these software and know what they actually do. No public institution should open gates to proprietary platforms that are often used for surveillance.

Good quote: "I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."

I'd love to form more of a community with other designers, especially those focused on #UX and who share #Libre slash #OpenSource values.

If you do too, respond to this thread and we can see where it goes from there.

(boost appreciated!)

This might be useful to some: the Oklahoma State Department of Health put out this useful infographic comparing COVID-19 to other ailments that may look like it. Someone should transcribe this for me to help others, I'm lower on spoons than I usually am, and I'm usually out of spoons.

As always contact local resources for more information on COVID.

Have you discussed with your children, who may be e-learning for the first time, ways to protect their online privacy?

Are you talking with them about password management and best practices?

Do you help them disable location services and unneeded microphone or camera access?

Are they being mindful of videos they post in group chats or apps?

Is there a FLOSS music tag editor application that supports embedding album art for Android? Google isn't giving me much.
