#introduction

Remember Twitter's super uber-secret project Bluesky? They finally explained what they're up to, and it's spicy 🌶️

So spicy that I had to write a 1,200 blog post one what exactly it entails. Key learning: Twitter doesn't like Mastodon. 🧵 https://blog.peerverse.space/lets-talk-about-project/

it's kind of amazing how much of a hard time modern software has synchronizing multiple identities. because of work I have half a dozen emails at any given point in time, clients will often require their contractors to have their own email on their own system each with their own calendar, and there's just no way to synchronize that shit across the board. I find myself manually jumping around between Google calendars, Outlook calendars and other nonsense...

A little over a year ago, I closed my social media accounts. Here's what happened. #SocialMedia

One of the most fun parts of having your own online service is choosing the domain name (the internet address).

In the old days you had to use addresses that ended in .com or .net or .org, but nowadays there are hundreds of options to choose from:

Also, they are now available in different languages and alphabets.

Some are restricted in who can use them, but most are available to anyone.

Since #whatsapp and #facebook are being cut off in #Russia, a lot of my russian expats friends are switching to #Signal to keep communicating with their family and friends back home. And that's probably not a bad choice. Maybe the better one, that will probably never be cut off, unless Internet goes down for everyone, is #Deltachat.

It's time to teach your friends how to use @delta

⚠️ If you use a version of #Android distributed by #Google, they've been spying on your calls and SMS without your permission.

This is great time to de-Google with an AOSP-based OS focused on #privacy like #GrapheneOS.

„Cebulowy ruter” przeciw cenzurze internetu w Rosji. Czyli pora na Tora.
https://oko.press/tor-przeciw-cenzurze-internetu-w-rosji/

> Codziennie 300 tys. Rosjan i Rosjanek uzyskuje dzięki niemu dostęp do nieocenzurowanego Internetu. Dotychczas Tor występował w negatywnej roli złowróżbnego "darknetu". Wyjaśnijmy, czym jest, czym się różni od VPN, i jak korzystać z niego na co dzień. Oraz czemu warto mieć taką możliwość.

> Jeśli jesteśmy zaangażowani politycznie czy aktywistycznie, warto pobrać przeglądarkę Tor i Briara już dziś.
