Mass surveillance around the world is growing. We have to fight for our right to privacy and freedom of speech! Here we explain how any backdoor would lessen security for all of us: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk

I worked on both corporate open-source software and real free software and there's a world of difference between the two. Makes me cringe every time someone says open-source where free software is more appropriate.

I reserve my use of the word open-source for software made by corporations for which the source code is available, but no attention has been paid to respect the freedom of its users or the rights of the developers who worked on it.

People who've done FOSS/self-hosted home automation, what system(s) did you use and how well does your setup work?

Do you have an idea for a Librem 5 app? Here’s a guide to setup your local development environment https://developer.puri.sm/Librem5/Development_Environment/Boards/emulators.html and an app design tutorial to get you started https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-app-design-tutorial-naming-your-app/ #purism #linuxphone #mobilelinux

Edward @Snowden@twitter.com: “Surveillance is not now – nor has it ever been – about public safety. It's about power, it's about control, it's about influence. It's the ability to predict and to shape outcomes.”

Servicetweet: alle, die gerade noch #Snowden Rezensionen schreiben und sich fragen, was zur Hölle eigentlich die Ergebnisse des Untersuchungsausschusses waren, den es wegen ihm gegeben hatte, können sich gern an mich wenden. Ich hab alles da.

Here's a great article from Google Project Zero: https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2015/07/one-font-vulnerability-to-rule-them-all.html

Covers both the history and complexity of fonts, and how easy it is to accidentally achieve Turing Completeness. I think I'll learn something from it.

@thomasfuchs I'm a hybrid Mac/Linux person. Fingers crossed Librem 5 but that will at best probably only be a geek niche thing. I agree I want my stuff to "just work".

I'm so sick of teams and being pushed into groups I don't identify with whatsoever...

Left v Right
Black v White
Cis v LGBT
Linux v Windows
Python v Ruby
Nike v Reebok
Red v Blue
Europe v USA

Fuck all those stereotypes and judge people for what they say and do, not for what you make them out to be from the get go.

We’ve published a Librem 5 Batch FAQ to answer the community's questions from last week's shipping announcement. We will update the FAQ regularly https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-batch-faq/ #purism #librem5

Gegen #AppZwang! Sicher wird Online-#Banking nicht durch dubiose Apps aus dubiosen AppStores auf dubiosen Betriebssystemen auf dubiosen Mobilgeräten, sondern durch echte #2FA mit einem separaten #TAN-Generator, also mit dem Verfahren Chip-TAN.

@aral So if you don't like Mozilla or Google, that leaves the one major browser engine you'd approve of being Apple's WebKit? I hope you can see why I say we need a Small Tech browser engine?

And from studying the current state of play, such an engine cannot afford the complexity of an efficient JavaScript engine nor it's extensive APIs.

I get hundreds of millions of dollars every year by legitimising surveillance capitalists and enabling them to violate your privacy by default. (I wouldn’t exist without them.) Please trust me on privacy.

Why are you all looking at me like that?

OK, OK, you can stop glaring: I’m Mozilla, y’all love me. 💕
