So, #pridemonth ...

I'm a white straight middle age man and my timeline is full of rainbows in all sorts of flags, stickers and cats - and I fucking love it!! :owi:

Over at Instagram I've seen: none.
Not even a single pride post.

God, I love the fediverse.
Thank you for being you! ❤️

Cal.com is closing it's source due to the threat coming with AI coding:

I don't know how I feel about that. It was always my favourite go-to alternative to Calendly.

What I also don't get is that they are releasing a Cal.diy source code side by side with less business features. Is that not threatened by AI?

Or is it just a business move to earn more money in the end?

The new German #socialmedia platform wedium started it's beta access this week. It sees itself as an European alternative to the big tech social media platforms, specifically since the Trump administration took over last year, and stands against hate speech.

To secure that, you have to identify with your passport.

Ah, and they are closed source.

Why not federate? Because Trump used Mastodon's code for Truth Social.

So it's a walled-garden with ID check.

What a joke.

So, I started to volunteer in our local community centre to help (mostly) elder people with their computer and smartphone problems.

It's fascinating. We have people there up to their 90s and they are all every open for change.

We remove ad ID's from phones, change default browsers, switch from MS Office to #Libreoffice.

And for next time I already have a date with an elder lady to switch her old Windows 10 laptop to Linux Mint.
And she is not the only one!

What a time to be alive.
