Greetings to #FOSDEM in Brussels! It sounds like there will be a full track on the topic of the #socialweb tomorrow with lots of interesting presentations! Good luck to all the presenters, and have a great time discussing the #fediverse.
We've put down the electric guitars, picked up the banjos, then picked up the guitars again. Introducing Banjo Songs: Volume One. A mix of indie-rock but with a helping of Old Timey earnestness. Links below!
If you want alt-country music with a fresh spin, this one is for you. And you can get it on #Bandcamp or where ever you get your music

You can also watch this video from EFF’s Dave Maass on How to Observe Police Surveillance at Protests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGscYgR7bXc. Let us know what you see out there by emailing info@eff.org with "Protest Surveillance" in the subject!
@eff @peertube Not trying to put anyone on the spot but is there a way that @eff can try using more alternate services like #peertube instead of google products like youtube? eff has done a great job identifying data abuses and we'd like to support decentralized groups where possible.

Every person joining the fediverse is a digital hero.
You may think it's a small thing. Yes, it's small thing but also a big step to make Internet better and people-first.
Made by the people for the people.
Oh, and also made for cats, dogs, capybaras and other puppies.
So, enjoy, encourage friends to join and let's make it a nice, inclusive and cozy space for everyone.

I friggin LOVE the #fediverse Now that #loops is getting some well deserved traction I can at the comfort of my Mastodon home instance follow accounts I wish to see more of.
I'm not a video creator, but I'm to a certain extent a video consumer and this enables me ... to be just that, in a somewhat defensible way.
@dansup Thank you for making this, for realz.
And I know that it's all because of AP, and hopefully more time and energy will be spent on the foundations that connect us all!

Day 2 in Brussels (for this trip). I think I have adjusted enough to the time-zone change that I will be able to be (mostly) awake for FOSDEM 2026 — which takes place this weekend.
Tomorrow (Saturday) is the first day of FOSDEM 2026. I will be attending the Social Web track.

I'm in Brussels for #Fosdem26 🇪🇺
Will be giving a talk "The Social Web and Digital Sovereignty" for #socialwebfosdem on Saturday.
On Sunday I'm very happy to join the panel moderated by @jmaris on "The Fediverse and the EU's Digital Service Act" with @mellifluousbox and @alexandrageese
Looking for a great weekend. Meet old friends and make new ones. ✨
