(Unfortunately it's too long to post it here on Mastodon, plus it would look like a mess without text formatting But I'll work on an Articles section on FosseryWeb, then I'll share FosseryWeb links instead)

Interesting, I'm finally understanding why ownership exists. The Rust book has aged quite well.

#DigitalSovereignity: "The real power move for #creators is #ownership and control of their work and livelihoods. This freedom is actually closer for more people than ever before! Learn from two #fediverse futurists [@molly0xfff & @mike] how #decentralizedsocialmedia facilitates #betterpublishing, #community, and #businessmodels.
Speakers will cover where creators should focus their energies, and how they might thrive with or without #walledgarden social platforms."

Embracing the simplicity that is #todotxt again. Setup #syncthing to sync my #logseq and to do files. No accounts. No third party. To proprietary file formats. Just #freedom, #privacy, and #ownership

Without YOU none of this is possible!

You are the source of my inspiration, you guide me and support me through this journey of discovery in music!

You are part of my music

You ARE my music!

When you listen those sounds literally resonate through you!

The Verge: Ron Wyden asks for rules about whether you own your digital purchases. “Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) has sent a letter to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) chair Andrew Ferguson urging the FTC to require that companies admit when you’re not really buying an ebook or video game.”

Windows Insider has acquired a bit of a "fuck the man" edge. This is the third article I read recently that had a line like "of course you can do this yourself, but I'll let you search out how."

‘I feel #trapped’: how #home #ownership has become a #nightmare for many Americans

Today I learned from Clare O'Dea's book "The Naked Swiss" that Swiss homeowners have to pay tax on the rental value of their property, as if they were actually earning that rent.

FUCK YOU, LET ME PLAY MY $70 GAME I PAID FOR!!!

(I last played this game last night, it hasn't even been 24 hours)

Property is not a universal concept. It must grow from place to place and from time to time. So we have grown to understand the concept of ownership must include responsibility for the consequences of it.
