About Us
Current work-in-progress: your phone at the protest.
New article: Notifications live their own lives.
We want a digital world built privacy-first. We practice digital harm reduction and believe in the empowerment of the people through technological knowledge and skill. We keep one foot online and the other in the garden.
We offer support, education, and connection to resources. We do not want to write code, configure servers, or fix bugs (but we might teach you how to do it). Don't talk to us about your crimes.
