@lunduke Just because they didn't fit the Elf's expectations of beauty, Elf's discarded them to the swamps of the world! #greenisthenewblack
@gnome my timezone (UTC+8) puts the event in the middle of the night. Is there a way I could watch and still be involved?
@teknari@1929.com @purism to do that you'll need access to the cellular modem and I don't think we can that level of access with any modem on market. We are able to do that with wifi when a network has multiple access points.

An analysis of the Zoom #privacy policy and all that's wrong with it:

In short: better don't use this for anything sensitive and don't make other people install the Zoom app - ever.

Mozilla's move to @matrix has officially been opened for the general public last night. Blog post here: http://exple.tive.org/blarg/2020/02/20/synchronous-messaging-were-live/
You can find the Mozilla #a11y team here: https://matrix.to/#/#Accessibility:mozilla.org.
And if you missed my introduction to the #Riot web interface for screen reader users in December, here it is: https://marcozehe.de/2019/12/20/how-to-get-around-matrix-and-riot-with-a-screen-reader/
@coding_hedgehog@mastodon.me.uk @todd once they get the Bluetooth module working, it should work the same as your Linux computer. Making the interface a seamless experience on the phone is another problem 😛
@purism bummer, but people staying safe is more important than shipping a few devices.
@purism I am getting into mapping for OpenStreetMaps with Vespucci. I hope Gnome Maps or Pure Maps expands their editing functionality to edit as well as Vespucci.
@agx nice work!
I updated a URL on one of @gitlab's documentation page to link to a new feature and they shipped me a cool mug! #myfirstMRmerged
Google makes billions of dollars and this is there mobile website!? I thought it was 2019, not 2009!
Buying a new TV?

I love this post:
"When we first approached hardware manufacturers almost two years ago with this project most of them instantly said “No, sorry, impossible, we can not help you.”. Others warned us, that it could never work, that it was too complicated, “the industry does not do that” and so forth.
And yet here we are, later than we wanted, but we are actually shipping first hardware! It is possible but it comes at a price." #Librem5

There's a petition to Save the .org top level domain. Apparently, ICANN could still stop it from being sold.
https://savedotorg.org
I know, petitions rarely work, but I also know that _sometimes_ they do.
Please consider signing if you _run_ anything there, or if you _use_ or _care about_ anything that's on a .org domain. Also, boosting this to others who follow you, would be very much appreciated.

@purism fun article. It's good to see the improvements written in a cool way.

This article about Google's project to store and analyze millions of Americans' health care data confirms my suspicions about the Fitbit acquisition.
Many people who don't care about mass data collection because "I've got nothing to hide" change their tune when it's health care data. #privacy
Applied for a Latitude Credit Card and within a minute I heard an ad about Latitude Pay on Spotify. I'm regretting my decision. Who did I just give all my personal details to?!

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison could free Assange from Belmarsh prison if he wanted to, James Ricketson tells Newscorp.
The Australian filmmaker was freed from prison in Cambodia after Australia's government made representations on his behalf.
