Why? I will just block fools like these so I don't see it. Blocking people from talking is not in the spirit of federation, and the architecture doesn't support it. You realize that you encourage switching? A big reason for people to switch is because of attitudes like this.

What was a bad idea in 1993 and didn't get any better? backdoors in encryption!
We signed a public letter, joing over 100 organizations and individuals urging the German goverment to drop this idea.

Love this. Very much in the spirit of what we’re working on.

Am 5. Juni 2013, also vor nunmehr 6 Jahren, veröffentlichte der #Guardian einen Artikel über PRISM - der Anfang der #Snowden-Enthüllungen.

Krass, dass das schon 6 Jahre her ist.

#KI und #ML sind doch irgendwie wie Kleinkinder. Es ist Wahnsinn, wie schnell sie lernen und wir freuen uns total, wenn sie etwas neues können. Aber so richtig weiter bringt es auch niemanden. www.heise.de/newsticker/meldun…

I just wanna put it out there that the word for “being polite on mastodon” should be fediquette

A few months ago, Microsoft decided to collaborate with Google and drop its web engine in favor of Google's.

Earlier this week, Google blocked all ad blockers, and now Microsoft has de-listed UBlock Origin (a powerful ad-blocker). Without real choice, monopolies will dictate what you see and do on the Internet.

Real choice comes with Free/Open Source Software.

KDE has adopted non-proprietary and decentralized instant messaging services and is now running its own community-managed instance of Matrix

KDE is now officially using Matrix for collaboration within KDE! Matrix is an open protocol and network for decentralised communication (which means you can follow and comment from a different instance of Matrix where you already have a presence), backed by an open standard and open source reference implementations for servers, clients, client SDKs, bridges, bots and more. It provides all the features you’d expect from a modern chat system: infinite scrollback, file transfer, typing notifications, read receipts, presence, search, push notifications, stickers, VoIP calling and conferencing, etc. It even provides end-to-end encryption (based on Signal’s double ratchet algorithm) for when you want some privacy. https://squeet.me/objects/962c3e10e38e7cf4ed8190091da003199908b4b6

Black Hat drama this week shows the risks in creating a machine/process w/ the power to censor a group for personal views. Always starts w/ dangerous/unsympathetic views, inevitably expands to censor other groups based on shakier grounds. #slipperyslope

Obviously I would never tell someone else what to think or what to say. Ever.

Just the same I would consider it a personal favor if, when responding to my posts... if folks could keep the language both "safe for work" and "appropriate for kids."

I like to keep my feed safe to read and see by everyone -- all walks of life, all ages, etc.

Thanks everyone!

Did you know that you can check out source code for things Purism works on (such as Librem One applications and bits relating to the upcoming Librem 5 smartphone) right from https://source.puri.sm?

Source code should be Free.

That's just how we roll.

Rust doesn't have a specification
Therefore all Rust code is undefined behavior
Therefore Rust has more undefined behavior than C
Therefore Rust < C
