“Threads' inexorable enshittification is an opportunity: an opportunity to make the case for the Eurostack, an opportunity to improve the lives of millions of Europeans, and an opportunity to break through the walled gardens that keep the people we love stuck on legacy social media platforms.

When they did it to us, that wasn't progress. When we do it to them, it's not piracy.”

A recent comment on one of my videos reminded me that some people think switching from Windows to Mac is somehow escaping their masters.

You are leaving one cage for another.

The Mac experience is great until you want to do something Apple has not pre-approved. True freedom is not just about a stable UI. It is about hardware repairability and software sovereignty, two things Apple has always fought against.

As Benjamin Franklin said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Don't trade your sovereignty for convenience.

The pressure is showing. As Windows 11 frustrations grow, Bill Gates reacts while more users threaten to abandon Microsoft entirely. Forced upgrades, locked hardware, and data collection push people to look elsewhere. Control always creates resistance.

FOSS Advent Calendar - Door 13: Screen-Mirroring & Recording with scrcpy

Today’s tool is scrcpy, a powerful open-source utility that lets you mirror and control your Android device from your PC via ADB (Android Debug Bridge) over USB or Wi‑Fi.

With scrcpy, you can see your phone screen on your desktop and control it directly from your PC using your mouse and keyboard. You can also record screencasts from the mirrored session, perfect for tutorials, capturing gameplay, or streaming mobile apps, all without installing anything on your phone.

CLI-friendly and lightweight, scrcpy gives you full PC-based control over your device: navigate, type, launch apps, or record everything from your desktop. No bloated software, no intrusive permissions.

Link: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

As a developer, which part of your workflow would scrcpy improve the most? Testing, debugging, or presenting your app?

Cory Doctorow champions a #BetterInternet by urging the legalization of jailbreaking, modding, and tinkering 🔧🖥️. His bold plan tackles Big Tech control to reclaim user freedom and innovation online 🌐✨. Discover how this could reshape digital life today! #TechFreedom #DigitalRights uk.pcmag.com/ai/161259/cory-do

Once confined to software and media, DRM has crept quietly into the physical world. Everyday devices now lock out third party filters, batteries, or accessories, forcing users into closed ecosystems under the guise of safety and performance. It is the same logic that once crippled digital ownership, now extended to air, water, and energy.

As hardware becomes more connected, control over what we “own” drifts further from our hands. It is an invasion on autonomy, repair, and the right to use our tools without permission.

Why I Moved to Linux: My Journey to Privacy, Freedom, and Control

After years of frustration with Windows and macOS, I finally switched to Linux. This is the story of how I took back control of my computer, from privacy and performance to freedom and trust, and why Ubuntu turned out to be the perfect choice for everyday use.

Google's security obsession is killing Android's freedom. Closed AOSP, sideloading fees & broken launchers are turning the open playground into a walled garden. The death of custom ROMs? The very soul of Android is at stake.
