I've submitted my resignation letter to Apple. My last day will be this Friday, October 31st.

I'm starting a nonprofit company to create FOSH (Free Open Source Hardware) assistive consumer electronics, focused initially on assistive consumer electronics for blind people. I plan to release many small intermediate products for the maker community.

I plan to start working full time starting November 1st at Brain Computer Enterprises, Cooperative Inc.

I switched from #macOS to #Linux #Debian13 between christmas and new year‘s eve.
And already I ask myself, why I didn‘t switch earlier…

Saving code isn’t drama — it’s stewardship. Come say hi at #FOSDEM & we'll show you how to archive & protect your work. Find us on Sunday, building K, in a great neighborhood with the Software Freedom Conservancy & Open-Source Firmware Foundation. #FOSS #OpenSource.

Hello, Fedi friends! I'm a little tired focusing on the things I *wish* I could do if I had #softwarefreedom and the dangers of not having #freesoftware... I need a lift! What fun things are you doing with #FOSS these days?

Just discovered this super cool static-site generator for musicians called Faircamp. I haven’t used it, but it looks neat. It’s def worth a peek if you publish music online.

Oh, and it’s FOSS.

Is there a sensible application, ideally integrated with nextcloud, that will allow electronic authorisation? I would like to do two things for our charity:
1. Create a digital authorisation for storing and processing data for GDPR purposes
2. Create a digital authorisation to act on someone's behalf (a form of authority)

#HelpNeeded, #FOSS, #Nextcloud, #GDPR

Digital independence will be critical. It was always critical, but dumbasses refused to see it. Now, that democracy is being lost in chunks at the digital front, they might wake the fuck up and see it for what it is.

Countries will either go for digital independence, or forfeit their sovereignty. If a non-US government is still using #MicroSoft for their OS and productivity suite, if they are still using #Amazon or #Google for hosting their services, they are fucked.

#FOSS saves.
