Please spread the word, we really need help to make Mobilizon known outside our French-FLOSS-supporters bubble ;).

Folks, for years: We have a problem called Surveillance Capitalism, it’s a systemic problem arising from socio-economic factors…

Ex-Googler: Hmm, this problem, very exotic… what shall I call it without criticising either surveillance or capitalism? Time well spent?

Folks: SURVEILLANCE CAPITALISM! It’s the feedback loop between accumulation of information (surveillance) and accumulation of wealth (capitalism)

Ex-Googler: …human downgrading?

I'm now taking questions for the Lunduke Show from here on Librem Social / Fediverse!

Here's how to do it:
1) Ask the question.
2) Tag me: @lunduke
3) Use the hashtag #AskLunduke

That way it's easy for me to find when I'm planning shows. I'm lazy like that. ;)

[Librem Chat] is a total, privacy-respecting replacement for all those intrusive chat services. One you can either use to have a friendly, one-on-one conversation with your best friend, or to call large groups of people. #libremone

As part our commitment to open source, today we are announcing the release of GopenPGP, an open source golang encryption library. This library powers all our apps and has been audited for security by @sec_consult. https://protonmail.com/blog/openpgp-golang/

Die Koalition aus @cducsubt@twitter.com und @spdbt@twitter.com lehnt im #Rechtsausschuss des Bundestages regelmäßig ab, dass (quasi) öffentliche Anhörungen als #Video aufgezeichnet und veröffentlicht werden. Das ist in anderen Ausschüssen anders.

Völlig unlogisch und intransparent.

Librem Mail 0.1.1 for Android is now available on the Google Play Store.

WHAT'S NEW
* Fixed notifications
* Changed default privacy settings to hide the user agent, hide the time zone, and hide the host name when connecting
* Translation & string fixes

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=one.librem.mail

For those that use Android but do not like using the Google Play Store: We plan to make the Librem.one applications available via F-Droid. No hard ETA yet, but it's in the works. More info on that once available.

Legend has it that Douglas Engelbart invented the mouse in 1968.

But did you know that German television manufacturer Telefunken released a "rolling-ball" device just a few months earlier?

From a technical perspective it actually closely resembles the kind of mouse that we ended up using until the late 90s.

The German patent office declined a patent due to a "lack of inventive step".

We need a system that lets us reproduce a packager's work and confirm that whatever they release was indeed built from a specific source tree without any unintended or even malicious changes.

To achieve that we require reproducible builds, so we can correlate a build with its source tree(s) and dependencies.

Whenever a new package gets released, this would allow independent systems and entities to verify that its contents really match the expectations.

Dieser Mythos, dass die aktuellen Teenager 'Digital Natives' sind und das Internet besser kennen als aktuell 30/40/50/60-Jährige, wie lange überlebt der noch?

Israeli espionage firm hacks WhatsApp. Can install spyware with missed call.

My advice: dump WhatsApp today and start using Wire (https://wire.com/en/products/personal-secure-messenger/). Tell your friends and family to do the same. (It’s a simple, free download on all app stores. Easy to use, doesn’t require your phone number, and their business model is based on charging for commercial use and for pro accounts.)
