I'm from IE but I live in NZ. Ex Unix geek with a passion for trad music.
I've been on the internet since 1983 and I'm mildly optimistic about the fediverse for now.

@npub16uk…pv7k I'm 100% with Dave on this. There's far too many tech commentators who are lobbyists for the large corporates.
That's both in NZ and overseas

@npub19xu…e8yd You need to use Jason Bourne as a role model. Have a shoebox under the bed with many different passports and bundles of untraceable cash to facilitate frictionless travel.

@npub1mhp…6t73 Is that an unedited picture of Kim Kardashian?

@npub16uk…pv7k I agree. We'd all have been in much worse position if we'd actually been voting on line as some lunatics would have us do.
This process is far too important to automate/digitise any more than it already is.
