Day 2 of my resistance against tech overlords.

Today I’m at the library getting books on #Linux, Raspberry Pi, tech history and theory.

#Education and tech independence are a powerful mix. Resist ✊

@RaccoonForFriendica nuova versione 0.1.0-beta04 pubblicata:

- fix crash al caricamento del profilo del proprio utente;
- miglioramento layout campi custom nel profilo utente;
- richiesta di conferma uscita in creazione post se presenti modifiche non salvate;
- fix richiesta conferma uscita in modifica dati profilo.

Purtroppo la release di ieri sera aveva qualche problema (soprattutto il primo) sfuggito al mio potentissimo controllo qualità procionide, per cui ho preferito rilasciare il prima possibile una correzione.

Beyond technical features: why we need to talk about the values of the Fediverse (part 1)

The Fediverse has a different value system than commercial social media: striving for genuine connections, protecting privacy and championing accessibility
