At the individual scale, self-hosting is not a good way to “be in control of my data.”

It’s like saying I do a vegetable garden to be in control of my food. I need much more than I can grow, it’s an inefficient use of my time, and I’m one bad season away from losing it all.

Resilience and transparency are key to be in control of my data and I can’t achieve this alone. This is a social problem, we need to bring solutions as a society.

The president of #Brazil — a leftist in his 3rd term who is arguably this century’s most important Latin American statesman — has been hitting back at #Trump in speeches across Brazil. His social media pages have suddenly become filled with references to Brazil’s #sovereignty. And he has taken to wearing a hat that says “Brazil belongs to Brazilians.”

In the interview, Lula said that the American president is infringing on Brazil’s #sovereignty.
