Looks like an automatic update has managed to hose up my NextcloudPi installation. Grmbl.

We pay to Steam, Netflix, Amazon prime, Spotify. But not to Wikipedia, Archive.org, Librivox, Project Gutenberg, for our favourite Linux distro.
The huge asymmetry between corporate and community has not emerged naturally. It is a product of our choices of not supporting community oriented projects.
The short conveniences vs the long-term good. We always chose the former.
In face of surveillance capitalism, we must and must change.

EU Still Asking For The Impossible (And The Unnecessary): 'Lawful Access' To Encrypted Material That Doesn't Break Encryption - https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200924/03005845370/eu-still-asking-impossible-unnecessary-lawful-access-to-encrypted-material-that-doesnt-break-encryption.shtml will they *never* learn? #encryption
I'm too old to unlearn Emacs, no matter if the latest cool kid on the block is called sub-someting, particle or bad code.
The interesting thing in this article boils down to one chart, showing how VS Code eats the market of other editors but vim and Emacs are stable. Just weird that "editors" like Visual Studio, IntelliJ or Eclipse are not even looked at, so I doubt that this is giving any meaningful insight.

jwz on #Mozilla:
"....in my humble but correct opinion, Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:
1. Building THE reference implementation web browser, and
2. Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.
3. There is no 3.

Look, universe, when I say "this year is horrible, everything is horrible" that was not a challenge and you don't need to try harder.

Was auch sonst. WebAssembly gehört schnellstens auf die Technologie-Müllhalde.

It's kind of funny in retrospect that the programming language whose mantra was "There Should Be Only One Way To Do It" featured two separately maintained, incompatible, versions of itself for 11 years.
Hah, fixed the #sailfishos doesn't boot issue on my Sony XPeria XA2, with the help of the together forum. I had installed the (adblock) defender app from openrepos and apparently this is causing such problems. The post below explains how to use chroot (and rpm) to remove the app from the recovery mode, which afterwards just boots fine. Yay! \o/ 🧚♂️

EU Commission announces plans for "European digital identity", which we should "use for everything", from online shopping to tax returns. The German Federal Constitutional Court has banned lifetime personal identification numbers because they encourage screening. Using multiple profiles and pseudonyms is of existential importance for many people and groups! What we really need is decentralized identity servers of your own choice that are interoperable.

After (fast-)booting into recovery mode, it looks like the filesystem has a problem:
/dev/mmcblk0rpmb: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error
/dev/mmcblk0rpmb: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 4128768: Input/output error
/dev/mmcblk0rpmb: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 4186112: Input/output error
/dev/mmcblk0rpmb: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 4096: Input/output error
So, the only option I have left is to reset the device to factory state and then start over from scratch installing #sailfishos. Sigh

Why FFS does my Sony XPeria XA2 suddenly have an issue booting into #sailfishos ? Grrrrmbl.

I just stumbled across my private stash of links to G+ posts that I wanted to keep handy for future reference, and am now finding myself angry again at Google for not keeping at least the public posts (and their comments) available for read-only purposes.
We put so much time into discussions there, and almost none of it made it into archive.org. I'm not even sure what got preserved in the Google Takeout image I made days before the takedown, because the format isn't human-friendly (JSON+CSV, looks like) and there are (as far as I know) no readers for it.
