Fight Against #DRM
"Digital Restrictions Management is the practice of imposing technological restrictions that control what users can do with digital media. When a program is designed to prevent you from copying or sharing a song, reading an ebook on another device, or playing a single-player game without an Internet connection, you are being restricted by DRM. In other words, DRM creates a damaged good; it prevents you from doing what would be possible without it."

I'm testing using #mastodon to promote #diy #candlemaking. We are also active on #instagram so will be interesting to see if there's any interest for this kind of stuff on Mastodon. Spontaneously I think there are not as many people interested in candles on #fedi hehe, but we'll see. Wish me luck. 😄 🕯️
Exactly 20 years ago my #Debian Developer account was created. During that time I initiated the #Backports project, was part of the #Linux #Kernel, #HighAvailability, #MySQL and #Python modules teams and was responsible for #Gajim, #Vim, #slrn, #lsof and some other small packages. Unfortunately I wasn't really active during the last few years, I hope this will change again soon...

Hey! I've discovered on matrix a german local administration that hosts its own Mastodon instance. They also have Threema and Telegram accounts... So no WhatsApp!
Why this is not a thing on every country? I mean, as a public service, you should not force your citizens to use any app or service that collects your personal data.

Questions for spaced repetition TUI development(Python 3):
1. What data filetype would work best with my goal of giving each card in the datafile a "front", a "back", and the ability to run any terminal command that the user desires(i.e. feh to display image related to card)?
2. What's the best way to have the program save information on the cards' positions in my Leitner Box implementation?
3. How the fuck has anyone managed to get anything done with Urwid?
