I'm considering saving up to a open platform #3Dprinter, such as a #LulzBot. I can think of tons of usages. Just wondering, what experiences ppl have and what do I need to know before putting money into this?

Made a blog post, I seldom write blogs, but decided this was worth it.
Bought a #Linux 2-in-1 #Laptop, nuked #Windows and installed #Ubuntu. If anyone has any tips and tricks using Linux on a #Touchscreen, let me know!

#Föli cost me 1H again...
Whoops! The #German gov and some of #Germany's politicians lost loads of #Data in the latest #hack. Maybe it will teach them about #InfoSec #Privacy and such.
I've been active in #politics and much of the time I end up educating my political colleagues, rather than actually having a debate.
They are however learning, even though slowly.
#Mastodon was mentioned on #Aljazeera in a panel discussion about if #Google #Facebook #Apple should pay #tax 3% extra. Mastodon was mentioned as a #Privacy and decentralized option to the mainstream #SocialMedia.
#TheHatedOne raised awareness on #YouTube that #ProtonMail "lied" about their end-to-end encryption. In case you use the webclient there may be a risk that someone could read your mail.
I don't use ProtonMail, but I know many #security conscious that use it. This might be overblown, but might not.
#Lunduke mentioned this on one of his shows. #Amazon is able to gather creepy amounts of #data on ppl. In this case Amazon had gathered data on someone in the shower. This was the stored on another guys account, due to #GDPR he was able to request this/"his" data from the vendor.
Very creepy indeed...

#AlJazeera reports that the #English speaking region of #Cameroon called #Ambazonia is issuing it's own virtual #currency to further it's political ambitions.
An interesting approach.
#SuPo valitsee luultavasti jatkossa valvojansa. Surullista kun poliittiset tahot nujivat tämän tällaisenaan läpi.
Today is the day here in #Finland, when ppl who payed too much #tax, gets some of it back. So I've been trying to figure out for months what to do with my pile of tax money. One of the options I'm considering is the #Purism #Librem5 #privacy related phone.
This money was hard earned. On the other hand I'm sick of #Google etc. betraying my trust.
Is there anyone that have considered buying one, what did you decide and why?
#Australia passes law to weaken #Encryption. This is a sad day for #Privacy and #Data #Security.

Here's an article in Finnish about how finns are leaving #Facebook, stating that about 300,000 Finns have so far left the platform. Often even leaving Facebook without moving over to some other platform.
