People who don't care for accuracy like misusing terms, accepting wild numerical estimates or ever stopping being curious, what do they actually care about when it is justified by caring priorities?
@nextcloud Is there a Mozilla Thunderbird add-on like that in the works?

We know a lot of people use Microsoft Outlook. You can use our #Nextcloud secure sharing add-in!
✓ keep mails small
✓ know when people downloaded or uploaded
✓ block unauthorized downloads
✓ password protect your files
Tried the latest version yet?

@professor_stoke It's a bit buggy for me right now. Can't transfer the account to a Windows machine (it crashes).
@tux I often just use my own FTP server. Support for that has been built into Windows Explorer for decades. Tell them paste this URL into Windows Explorer and copy/paste files into the window that appears.
@kiri I removed that button as soon as it showed up!
Adobe, Wacom, Autodesk, etc. should make a Creative Pro Operating System https://pocketnow.com/a-creative-pro-operating-system

♲ @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."
