♲ @drifa@yiff.life: One thing I really hate about my culture is its fetishization of competition. We create needless competition in business, sports, politics, etc. Why? It is destructive, it creates more losers than winners, and it wastes resources that could be better used to solve our collective problems. Proponents claim it spurs innovation and achievement. Bullshit: it spurs cheating and gaming the system. Competition of *ideas* is better served by *cooperation* to study them.
@switchingsocial@mastodon.at I started using Delta.Chat after reading that thread, and that should probably be listed when the iOS app gets a little better. The Android app is pretty good already.
@oscarhall@mastodon.technology Which color though? :)
@purism I see some problems. Poor navigation placement for phone usage and mystery meat navigation. Hamburger buttons have been proven to reduce usability many times over. Also see: https://pocketnow.com/8-ways-to-tell-if-your-mobile-app-sucks
@polly @switchingsocial@mastodon.at Ooh, Delta.Chat sounds nice! I guess OX Talk uses some of that. https://github.com/open-xchange/ox-talk Someone should integrate Jitsi with Chat over Email and we might be all set!
@switchingsocial@mastodon.at It requires an MSISDN phone number, so that's a problem!

When you use somebody elses' platform to communicate, they can see who talks to who, when and for how long. Such 'metadata' says a lot more about you than you realize. This is why Facebook wants you to forget about metadata when you think about #privacy

Maybe Facebook should be federated.

"With all of these privacy problems showing up with the biggest social networks and technology companies around, some companies are working on giving users back control over their data and communications."

US cloud platforms are not #GDPR compliant - that's becoming very clear. Is your organization already looking for a better solution?

This makes a lot of sense given MS's larger strategy with Azure. They need to get Linux devs off Macs and AWS and onto Windows and Azure. Github and Linux tools on Windows are the gateway. #devops #cloud https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/05/windows-10-will-soon-ship-with-a-full-open-source-gpled-linux-kernel/
I'm sure there are more than 10 though. https://pocketnow.com/10-ways-to-protect-your-privacy-with-purism @purism @librem
