       @sundogplanets A few moments of peace today.Late winter sunshine reflecting on melting snow.Stacking next winter's firewood.A pot of potatoes and some lentil soup cooking slowly on the kitchen range.Laughter at the dinner table. Chortles at bedtime.Take the small good moments and focus on them.Tomorrow our coping mechanisms will be tested again.Life goes on.

       @mntmn I use a properly dumb 4G phone for simple alarms. Such as reminding me to check on the wood burning stove I lit ten minutes ago. A few key presses to set the alarm.My PinePhone is mostly used as a tablet device. Perhaps something that a lot of UI designers have no idea about is that there are people like me who struggle with touch screens. I often find myself swiping to much or too little and opening an app I never use.Hence, I use the dumbphone for phone calls and alarms.

       @EUCommission Please stop publishing lies about this.The code WILL NOT run on ANY device.My primary phone is a recently purchased 4G dumb phone with no internet capabilities and RAM measured in megabytes. It is a device.It does what I need it to do and I expect to get ten years worth of use out of it.I cannot install any apps on it.Who will make this code run on my dumb phone so that I am not forced to buy a smartphone with an OS developed in the US?#digitalsovereignty

       @EUCommission From the EU statement "Social media platforms offer highly addictive designs – infinite scrolling that is feeding the addiction, short videos snap attention span, highly personalised content, targeted. "So fix the bloody platforms that harm our children first.Making adults compensate for a lack of regulation by the EU of the digital market place by forcing them to constantly ID themselves is addressing the wrong set of issues.#digitalsovereignty #surveillance #chatcontrol

       @EUCommission @anarchic_teapot Dear EU Commission, please answer one very simple question.Will everyone have to own an Android or iOS device in order to be able to use the age confirmation system?Some of us really do not use either and do not wish to be forced to use them either.#digitalsovereignty

       @mntmn @bnys What with the Norwegian crown strengthening noticeably against the Euro and the possibility of using Steam on an MNT Pocket (not assuming this *will* happen though) it is becoming more difficult to resist ordering a MNT Pocket.

       @gamingonlinux 1/2 "You shouldn't share any information with Copilot that you don't want us to review."Which covers pretty much everything apart from what I post in public places such as Mastodon and a couple of other forums on the internet.This is also is exactly why Copilot and all other AI data scraping systems should be EXPLICITLY OPT IN.And that refusing to opt in is seen as a permanent decision.

       @EUCommission Remember also the right of workers to privacy, especially when using the internet.No client-side scanning, no age verification.Fix the digital platforms that cause people harm first.The US tech companies need to change or be banned from the EU/EEA.Remove their meddling in our politics, stop the disinformation (pro billionaire and anti worker) and stop the techbros lobbying the EU Commission.Then and ONLY THEN can our rights as workers be maintained and protected.#1mai

       @stux "A good billionaire does not exist"It really depends on how they are dressed.A good sauce makes all the difference.

       @fribbledom Apparently you can get help for that kind of sock fetish. If you feel the need for help, that is.Otherwise just keep enjoying yourself.You can confuse the analytics companies by looking at other foot related apparel. Or even branch out into gloves and mittens every now and again.

       @ariadne I just read that as "I am a fan of compostable intelligence".I should go to sleep.
