My first #story on @write_as written from Story Cubes. #smallstories #writing
Luke Ming Flanagan (MEP) also replied with a much clearer stand against #Article13 and #Article11. "I strongly object to the contents of this proposal, in particular Article 11 & Article 13."
Between the #FCC corpo-whores and the European Legal Affairs Committee, who else is going to try to fubar the Internet? What is with these people?? #Article13 #NetNeutrality #RantBit
From @rysiek the name & shame list of dorks who voted to screw up the Internet. #Article13 #OpenInternet #NoCorporates
In response to a toot against #Article13 Censorship Machine, I contacted MEP's from Ireland (https://saveyourinternet.eu). Lynn Boylan (Sinn Fein) is the only one to reply (ok, one of her lackeys, but at least they made an effort). While the reply hedges a bit, at least there was a level of engagement. Cheers, Ms Boylan! #Delete13
Time to chill out on some #retro from Boston's Crockett. Sweet dreams, Fediverse!
Getting the Priorities Straight: Got my food. Even got a choice of food. Got my water. Fresh! Got a dry spot to catch a few winks. Even that git with a camera can't ripple my zen. Life is good.
I have used New Pipe for ages (from @fdroidorg) and agree with @jabastardoc@mastodon.social: it is the bomb! Get it and make it harder for #Google to stalk you.
Even #Facebook deletion didn't work. Left the account with a dummy email, zilch contact details and a rude and very immature message for Zuckerberg. Got to thinking....why not open more fake accounts? And lie? Check in to all sorts of random places? Totally screw with their algorithm?......
@kevinbeynon has supplied a great list of #DRM-free book outlets....some really awesome things there! For #eBook peeps, you need to check it out! A dangerous list for some of us.....there goes my budget.....
Just found out #Facebook moved a whole shed load of people's data to the USA to avoid Europe's new law (yeah, I am #$@&^% slow). While I should not be shocked by Facebook's cynical and exploitative practices, I cannot help but feel disappointed that their actions not match the rhetoric. Thanks to #MeWe for staying in Ireland!
It's very frustrating when businesses only provide one channel of contact: fubarbook. Not even email?? #LeaveFacebook
Facebook confirms that it tracks how you move mouse on the computer screen

For non-sys admin (read computer moron), #diaspora or #friendica? Wondering what people think?
Life just keeps the hits coming at #Facebook. Time to #leaveFacebook.
@Purism I just found my next phone.
