some important ideas for me:

• Remember Aaron Swartz
• The Guerilla Open Access Manifesto by Aaron Swartz
• FREE ASSANGE
• In solidarity with Library Genesis and Sci-Hub: custodians.online
• Description of NSA’s sabotage of public cryptographic standards by Daniel J. Bernstein

software development philosophy:

• Local-first software by Martin Kleppmann
• Source Code is Free Speech

“It seemed so obvious to me: Here we are faced with the problems of loss of privacy, creeping computerization, massive databases, more centralization - and Chaum offers a completely different direction to go in, one which puts power into the hands of individuals rather than governments and corporations. The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them.”

– Hal Finney
