Welcome, new Threema users! Due to the ‪#WhatsAppPolicy‬ controversy, our downloads are skyrocketing. 🚀

Vielleicht ist ein Grund für das aktuelle Versagen der Politik beim Umgang mit der Pandemie folgender: Wer in seiner politischen Karriere oft die Erfahrung gemacht hat, dass Symbolpolitik ausreicht, um ein "Problem" zu regeln, nimmt das irgendwann als rationale Option wahr. (1/x)

Reminder by #xkcd what #FreeSpeech means. #nt

The Internet was built as a kind of decentralized democracy. Change is slow and messy but it protects us from a single entity forcing their will on us.

When you move your data and social graph to a closed platform you vote for authoritarian rule.

Such choices never end well.

Just some screenshots of Youplay a Youtube music player running on the Pinephone.

Note: Youplay is a Youtube music player made with GTK and Python. It doesn't look that good in my opinion but works really well. (just a little slow at times)

Building huge networks with decentralized control means you get new features slower, and sometimes rollouts are messier, but to adopt anything else is to abandon the very freedom that allowed the internet to become what it is today, instead of all being owned by someone like AOL.

Wenn Tutanota Standards wie OpenPGP implementieren würde, wäre IMAP kein Problem.

Mailbox.org und Posteo.de machen vor, wie automatisches Verschlüsseln des Posteingangs funktioniert. Dafür muss nur der öffentliche(!) PGP-Schlüssel auf dem Server hinterlegt werden. Und natürlich kann man die verschlüsselten E-Mails dann immer noch per IMAP abrufen.

App privacy labels show stark contrasts among messaging apps https://9to5mac.com/2021/01/04/app-privacy-labels-messaging-apps/

TL;DR:

Signal - perfect!

iMessage - very good (and defensible).

WhatsApp - huh, that's starting to seem a little sus.

Facebook Messenger: oh hell no.

App Showcase: Weather

"The Librem 5 is designed to protect your privacy, and include a privacy-respecting Weather app. When opened this retrieves weather data from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, and only them."

I just explained to the 4yo what fuzz testing is, and he was delighted to learn that what he's been doing to all our appliances has a practical purpose.

Can you see the numbers in their silhouettes?
Here is my illustration to wish the end of the pandemic for 2021. Let's hope it will happen.
Happy New Year!

Made a proof-of-concept hack to disable #squeekboard in #mobian and #pureos when an external keyboad gets connected.

It consists of a udev .rules file, a bash script and and application link for a "switch keyboard" app icon to toggle the setting by tapping on it.

@agx provided the information about the gsetting to use and Dorota helped me with information about the future of this function in squeekboard: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/squeekboard/-/issues/254.
