My ebooks and audiobooks (from @torbooks, @HoZ_Books, @mcsweeneys, and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."

So this happened in my home town. Police seized the computing devices of a local scientist who was fired from DoH because they wanted her to downplay the Covid-19 statistics.

My latest novel is Attack Surface, a sequel to my bestselling Little Brother books. @washingtonpost called it "a political cyberthriller, vigorous, bold and savvy about the limits of revolution and resistance."
Get signed books from @darkdel: https://www.darkdel.com/store/p1840/Available_Now%3A_Attack_Surface.html

Just reread Homeland (I reread Little Brother last year), and started Attack Surface today.

III. A government may order the company to attack users.
In 2017 Apple removed working VPNs from its Chinese app stores as part of the Chinese state's mass surveillance program (1m members of religious minorities were subsequently sent to concentration camps).
Apple's trusted computing prevents users from loading apps that aren't in its app stores, meaning that Apple's decisions about which apps you can run on your Iphone are binding on you, even if you disagree.

I'm pretty excited for the upcoming release of Owncast, an open-source video streaming solution (think self-hosted Twitch)!
@gabek is testing the latest version in preparation for the next release, streaming some tunes on his Owncast instance at https://goth.land/ right now!
Drop by and say hello in the chat, if you want to see Owncast in action!
Hosting #Mastodon on a server in my home office and then accessing it abroad over Tor is the best kind of next-level paranoia.
Cute. Dad. Appreciation.
@aworldinpages When men that I know don't do households chores are at my house I like to make a point of doing extra chores, e.g. dishes, cooking, laundry, etc. This is especially true around my dad and step-dad.

Me, explaining Mastodon: Okay, so it's like Twitter, but basically no one will follow you, like your posts, or boost anything. It's the perfect social media experience.

With any luck things will go back to normal levels of stupid pretty soon.

Great alternatives to Google Maps that use #OpenStreetMap data:
- Qwant Maps: website, has directions. Highlights the fact that data is from #OSM, providing links to view and edit the data.
https://www.qwant.com/maps
- F4map: website, 3D views of cities.
https://demo.f4map.com/
- MAPS.ME: mobile apps with a neat vector renderer. Minimalist. Works offline. More obviously profit-oriented.
- OsmAnd: mobile apps with lots of features. Offline too. (Too?) many customisations and options available.
Found out my Kindergarten niece is zooming with an apple and toy dinosaur in front of her. I've already got bananas in my background, but * definitely need a dinosaur now.

Another way to keep yourself safe before going to a protest: Download and use Tor Browser for Android.

I love Curtis Harding's voice and music.
