So what’s the difference between working at a US #BigTech company and a tiny #SmallTech not-for-profit like ours in #Ireland? Oh, about 26 weeks difference in being able to access healthcare and any preexisting conditions not being covered.

minimalclick@mas.to's status on Friday, 08-Oct-2021 16:46:39 CEST MinimalClick Hi. I'm Malcolm. I lost my job to COVID so I'm setting up a project called Minimal Click. It's an ethical experimental #smalltech research studio in Bath, UK.
I've created it to explore code, tools, products and services using sustainable and ethical business practices through the utilisation of open source tools and methodologies.

> À l'heure où #Facebook essaie de se dépêtrer de ses affaires de chiffrement et où Google se prend les pieds dans un bug qui a rendu publique la vie privée des utilisateurs d'#Android TV, l'activiste Aral Balkan revient sur les origines de ce qu'il appelle « le capitalisme de surveillance », en amont de sa venue à Lille le 21 mars à l'occasion du Grand Barouf #Numérique.
Avec @aral dedans.

Aral Balkan (aral@mastodon.ar.al)'s status on Thursday, 14-Mar-2019 09:18:22 CET Aral Balkan Apologies if I’m incommunicado for the next week: under a huge (self-imposes) workload and preparing for my talk in Lille next week while also getting bombarded by media requests (why does everything happen all at once?) Lille will be the first time I present with a completely new, amazing, and free/open system – can’t wait to share details about that with you also but it also involves a lot of work… no more Keynote after 10+ years.

https://ar.al/2019/03/10/indie-web-server/
All telemetry and the artificially introduced and privacy-eroding email address requirement for Let’s Encrypt in Greenlock.js removed via my ACME TLS fork (including in submodules).
Why yes, it was just like cleaning a sewer now that you mention it.

Via/by @kavbojka and The Collective for Liberation, Ecology, and Technology – a small, woman-owned collective that works to maintain, develop, extend, and promote open tools and documentation for communication and organization.
And contains this gem: “As Anand Giridharadas so eloquently describes … capitalism keeps offering us ‘solutions’ to the problems that it caused in the first place.”

If you want to run your own personal web server, this is as easy as it gets.
- Zero-configuration
- Seamless TLS for development and production (without certificate warnings + A grade on SSL Labs in production).
- Command-line: use it to serve your static web site
- API: build your own dynamic web app on it in Node.js using Express, etc.

We need an antidote to surveillance capitalism that is so anathema to the interests of Big Tech that it cannot possibly be co-opted by them.
