"Nature is our biggest ally and our greatest inspiration."
"In this world, a species can only thrive when everything else around it, thrives too."

"When we take care of nature, nature will take care of us."

Some quotes by Sir David Attenborough in "A Life on Our Planet"

Mother Nature will survive. Whether we will be part of that remains to be seen. We can choose to do that. Or let nature decide for us.

to which my response was:
"Give it 5-10 years, then we'll have it too, but with better marketing, but effectively similar.
IIRC Eindhoven has a system (in pilot?) 'similar' as shown in the head picture (Person of Interest style) ... for a snitch city project. Fighting crime and/or terrorism will be used too"

Great ~3 minute video which explains nicely why I focus so much on #privacy as it shows the dangers of #surveillance #capitalism.

Ben Hutchings ((Debian) kernel maintainer)* on a recent bug report:
"It looks like you have mixed up /dev/null and /dev/zero (as a Dutch learner, I can see how that would happen)."

Dunno if Drew DeVault is still learning it, but I find it amazing that people for which I have a lot of respect, are learning #Dutch.

Because you know, terrorism and stuff.
And even *iff* you get Big Tech to build in a backdoor, don't you realize that those 'terrorists' will just use another tool that isn't backdoor-ed?
Are those politicians really that stupid/ignorant?

Then there's ofc also article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which we supposedly support ...

Can someone suggest me a simple #Hugo theme?

There's a big list at https://themes.gohugo.io/ and lots of them have a free license :)
But (also) a lot 'advertise' themselves with f.e. 'google analytics' which I consider an anti-feature.
The one from the quickstart, ananke, has a 84KiB CSS file, which also seems excessive.

Not wanting to try each and every one of them, I'm hoping the fediverse can suggest me some.

Quite a while I blasted gab for leeching off of Free Software.
They forked the Mastodon code (AGPL-3.0) and rebranded it to make it look like it was all their work.

It's actually much worse. 2 days ago they made the code public and then they retweeted a moron saying "Gab has now opted to release their code repository"
Like that was some kind of bad-ass move.

No, it meant that they had violated the license all that time.
Still claiming only their own copyright, which is still a breach 🙄

@torproject
I've just been alerted that support for onion v2 has been removed from your (git) master branch.

So I went looking through your timeline to boost a toot by you urging people to switch to v3 onions and explaining why.
I've now scrolled till a toot you boosted from Jul 22,2020 by SecureDrop! But I've still not found one by you.
You've likely made such a toot before, but imo it's high time for another one?
