The Choice: Red Pill or Blue Screen
But not all hope is lost. There’s still the red pill — Linux. It’s not perfect, but it’s free, open, and community-driven. No forced logins, no corporate backdoors, no hidden surveillance. Just software built by people, for people. Switching to Linux isn’t rebellion for rebellion’s sake. It’s a vote — for transparency, for sustainability, for democracy. The blue screen of illusion can still be escaped.

Gibt es nicht inzwischen eine aktuellere Version?
Ich lese davon immer mal wieder bei anderen Instanzen.
Wann erhält das Troetcafé diese?

We would like to thank @gofedi@social.gofedi.com for helping migrate over Bikers Go Social.
We will be putting out little updates through the next upcoming weeks, especially as the server sets in place.
Thank you all for an amazing journey the past year.
#Update #BikersGoSocial #Fediverse #Instance
Can someone explain the change in the protocol that enables comments from all instances to be shown in Mastodon posts?
I used to roughly understand why some comments were not visible from another instance if nobody followed that account there but now I am just confused as to how the Mastodon works.

#Update #BikersGoSocial #Fediverse #Instance
The #USDA planned to freeze payments to #SNAP starting Nov. 1 because it said it could no longer keep funding it due to the shutdown. The USDA has a $5 billion contingency fund for the program, but the #Trump admin reversed an earlier agency plan to use that money to keep SNAP running. #Democrats argue that the admin could also use a separate fund of about $23 billion.
The situation leaves millions with uncertainty about how they will feed themselves.
The #Trump admin said Monday that it will *partially* fund #SNAP after 2 judges’ rulings required it to keep the #food #aid program running.
It’s not clear how much beneficiaries will receive, nor how quickly beneficiaries will see value show up on the debit cards they use to buy groceries. The process of loading the cards, which involves steps by state & federal govt agencies & vendors, can take up to 2 wks in some states. The average monthly benefit is usually ~$190/person.

We all build our own prison ...
First, they gave us a window. It wasn't perfect, but it made life easier. This window was then improved and made more convenient. This quality, but also mafia-like practices, allowed them to create a #monopoly. Ultimately, this led to a decline in quality and customers being forced to accept #surveillance, subscriptions, #AI, and #cloud services. In the end, the window was barred and made smaller.
But for those who didn't get too comfortable behind the window, a penguin named TUX has a #jailbreak ready. Floss is a jailbreak that allows you to always get free updates and continue to use old hardware. This helps the environment and your wallet. But #BigTech doesn't want you to know about it and wants to keep you in #prison and locked in dependency.
Ultimately, everyone must decide for themselves whether #freedom is more important to them than finding reasons to remain in prison of their own free will.
