Roughly this time tomorrow I’ll be chatting with the folks at Sensemaking Scenius about all things Open Source, something I’ve dedicated >20 years of my life to and have *opinions* about.

I reckon it’s high time we made OSS an innately anti-fascist movement that doesn’t pander to oligarchs and autocrats. Let’s talk about it!

You might think it's not a priority with all the doom happening around.

But the erosion of privacy rights is directly linked to the erosion of human rights, and the loss of democracy.

Privacy makes it safe for you to discuss, to organize, to resist, and to be your true self. This is exactly why fascists and authoritarians are attacking it.

If we lose privacy, we lose everything else. We have to defend it with all we've got.

Privacy rights are a priority.

#Israel Moved Gaza’s Yellow Line And Then Shelled #Palestinians For Being On The Wrong Side

They just keep finding new ways to carve off more pieces of #Gaza & murder more Palestinians.
