For the record, I am positively fuming over the new #AgeVerification laws being introduced in France.

How convenient that this way Big Tech behemoths like Meta, X and TikTok won't have to change a thing. (Don't get me started about Grok, which should have been banned MONTHS ago).

AGE isn't the problem. It's the TOXIC, PREDATORY, EXTRACTIVE nature of these platforms that is the real issue.

They are getting away scot-free. I hate it. All I can do is speak up with those around me 🫤

The scariest thing about new #AgeVerification laws being introduced in Europe (France, I was expecting more from you) is to see the positive reactions of my family members, who have fallen hook, line and sinker for the arguments discussed in the media. "It's to protect the children!" No it isn't.

I'm sending this superb article by the @nprofile1q... to all of them:

Now is the time to #resist and speak up and educate those around us ✊ #privacy

Good morning Fedi friends,

I have been feeling a rising anxiety over the state of the open web and the fediverse - after seeing efforts by politicians all over the world (in Europe too!) to introduce age verification laws for social media.

My way of coping?

Teaching people how to self-host their own Fediverse profile (using the superb #GoToSocial) via #YunoHost.

Good morning Fedi friends.

I just updated this post from March. It used to say:

"Year 4 (2026)
I plan to buy a Heltec to try out off-grid mesh radio communication"

Since I am fully invested in mesh experiments, I thought it deserved a refresh.

Spoiler alert: Year 5 will probably be about learning #FreeBSD 😅

My experience of the #fediverse : Year 1 (2023): It feels a little lonely as 99% of my friends stayed on Big Tech platforms. Year 2 (2024): I start a blog - #TheFutureIsFederated - to explain the fediverse to "normies"... and I make a lot of new (techie) friends. Year 3 (202 Show more

Working on a brand new post for my series "a newbie's guide to self-hosting with #YunoHost" - showing people how to set up their own #GoToSocial microblogging instance.

Sorry it's been taking a while: I started over when I realized most people use subdomains... and I'm doing a thorough step-by-step explainer that any newbie could follow - I hope 😅

On 10 March 2021, I had only just fallen asleep when my phone started buzzing. Then another notification, and another. In a matter of minutes, 142 of my servers went up in the clouds. And not the clou...

@nprofile1q... my blood pressure went up reading your post. What a story, wow! Sad to miss the livestream because I will be in Germany for Berlin Fedi Day. But I look forward to watching the recording as soon as it's available

Day 2 of #MeshCore experiments, let's go! 🚀

First I'll try to see if I can send any messages with just my companion unit and if that fails, I will set up my second unit as a repeater on my parents' balcony...

Thanks to everyone who sent in pics of their cute pets yesterday to cheer me up (after hours of failing to send any messages). Much appreciated! 💖
