@Cory Doctorow I'm listening to Novara Media tonight and it's clear you have made a big impression on Aaron Bastani. Talking about digital dependence on US tech companies - things you have been saying for ages.
@Cory Doctorow Just finished this little number. Just wanted to say thanks for another rollicking tale. I was in secondary school when all this "happened", and it brought back so many memories, and pointed out so much that I missed at the time. Highly recommend! #books #Bookstodon #BooksWorthReading #thanks
My wife just had her final autism assessment interview - with her parents on zoom. She's a bit frustrated that they desperately DON'T want her to "have" Autism so we're kind of playing down/normalising how she was as a child. I've told her it doesn't change her either way and I'll still love her just as much whatever the outcome. I had to post this though - this is her notebook page she was using during the interview. I love it! Stimming for real! Apparently, hey mum also told her off for fiddling with/flapping her pen! @npub12rzc...7e7f
Got to get off gmail - not comfortable keeping my stuff on a fascist enabling US-based email provider. It's not safe anymore if they will just bend over for anything #TrumpMusk demand.
Any recommends for a non-American owned, preferably UK-based email hosts that don't require your own domain? Happy to have something like cybervegan23812@whateverhost.co.uk. Doesn't have to be webmail, but I'd prefer it.
I know how to host email myself, but I DON'T WANT TO - too much hassle these days, and I also don't want to buy and maintain a domain.
Additionally, NOT protonmail, as we have had family trauma involving them as an accessory to a crime against us. We don't want to be constantly reminded of this.
Please boost for reach.
