WTF?! My non-rooted phone had #Google Maps pre-installed, but I only use #OSMand for navigation etc.

Yesterday, I walked to a local restaurant, without using my phone, and had lunch there before walking back.

I never opened #GoogleMaps.

Today, I find a notification from Maps:
How was {restaurant name}?
Rate places to get smarter recommendations.

So it tracked and calculated where I ate without even opening my phone or the app.

Definitely time for #Pinephone / #LibreM

I'm def going, with my My Little Pony costume on!

We now live in an attention economy.

But why is attention valuable?

Because it allows for the influence of thought and behaviour and thus capital.

I wonder how long it'll be before smart phones are cheap enough to pragmatically be used as burner phones...

What's next? If I have lunch with a friend there:

Please rate the conversation with Andrea and her religious/political leanings for better recommendations.

@cwebber @apconf

I'd also especially love to see @nextcloud share their conf videos on #PeerTube.

I mean, so much of your marketing is about the benefits of self hosted solutions over using the #GAFAM mega data silos. Sure I understand that the audience's are there... but it would be great to see leadership in supporting alternatives like #PeerTube, also, just like how you already do with #Mastodon. ♥️

Kudos to @cwebber and @apconf for putting the #ActivitypubConference (#apconf) videos online on #Peertube.

Peertube already gives us a great alternative to #YouTube, but it's problem is a lack of viewers, because of the lack of content uploaded to the platform (& being new).

That's why it's great to see #Apconf help break the catch 22 by sharing their videos at:

https://conf.tube/accounts/apconf/videos

Here's hoping we see other conferences follow their lead! (#kde #gnome etc. I'm looking at you!)

Having fun doing some #illustration (it's been a while!)

#MastoArt

So where are all of the #ActivityPubConf videos or where are they going to be? I'm pretty surprised to not see #Peertube links popping left and right, but maybe I'm just following the wrong people... 😢

I'm sure there's a lovely PeerTube host out there willing to help with hosting (or a few that federate with each other, if we want to distribute the load)

If you have the footage and getting them edited etc is the issue @cwebber then hit me up.

Predictive Phone Typing
Rorschach Game!

1. Hit reply
2. Type the word "The"
3. Write, as hashtags, the first three words that your phone's keyboard guesses you'll type next.
4. Boost this toot to share the lulz.
5. Profit? (/crush capitalism in a global anarcho-Communist revolution. Your pick!)

I'll go first:

#Taco(!)
#Fediverse (filled with crispy goodness!)
#Establishment (fight! fight! fight!)

I'm happy with that collection! What words does your phone believe you're into? Share below! 💕
