Every time you hit F5, a sysadmin gets their coffee.
To promote secure communication, #thunderbird 78 will encourage the user to perform ownership confirmation of keys used by correspondents, notify the user if the correspondent’s keys change unexpectedly, and, if there is an issue, offer assistance to resolve the situation. #openpgp #userfriendly

We have an AMA coming up on /r/privacy on Friday 16:30 UK (GMT+1) to discuss all things Matrix - particularly the conclusions to all the privacy work outlined in https://matrix.org/blog/2019/06/30/tightening-up-privacy-in-matrix/. Thanks to the mods for the invite! Be there or be 🔲. https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/d8pe9x/ama_with_matrixorg_project_lead_friday_27
@Framasoft It's sad to see services go, but thank you for sharing your lessons learned. Regarding #technicaldebt and ease-of-maintenance, we're making slow but steady progress on packaging, so that one day you'll just `apt install ldh-middleware` and launch some Frama Un services ;) Keep on federatin' and vive la Framasoft! 🇫🇷
We've consolidated our support resources on one easy-to-read page https://librem.one/support/ #libremone
Service is running Synapse 1.3.1 and Android app is in sync with upstream 0.9.4 plus helpful menu items for Librem One subscribers #libremchat
"The truth is that a motivated mob can target anyone, marginalized or not. We would all benefit from effective anti-harassment tools... We suggest that #userempowerment via client-side features is a more robust and safer approach." #libremone

Librem Chat 1.0.1 has been published to the F-Droid, Google Play and Apple Stores. Updates include:
* Updated policy and forgot password links
* Updated default room server to Librem One
* Removed key backup (we don't hold your keys)
* Merged changes from Riot v0.9.2 (Android) and Riot v0.9.1 (iOS)
I've finished writing part 1 of "OcapPub: Towards networks of consent", which is to say the "Conceptual Overview" section https://gitlab.com/spritely/ocappub/blob/master/README.org
There's a lot there already, and we haven't even gotten to Part 2, the "How to Build It" section yet. I'll begin work on that tomorrow.
What's here already is more or less an explanation of *why* OcapPub is taking the particular direction it is taking, and why other approaches run into serious problems.
"Moving forward, we aim to make simple security the default. Security features are enabled and cannot be disabled; enhancements are applied when you update. Experimental security features are disabled by default, but you can enable them at any time." #libremone #security #ux

"In this post we will outline the touchstones we have used to do just that–engineer trustworthy services that everyone can use... We hope it will facilitate communication with friends and colleagues as we hack towards a common goal…" #libremone #userstory #userpersona

Looking forward to these developments from the #matrix team! #securityisaprocess 🚀

"[Sydent] no longer persists new associations relating to users on homeservers not run by New Vector... as we continue to improve Identity Server data hygiene practices, we will phase out their use in registration... we will announce a schedule for disabling registration with email and password reset in our Identity Servers entirely."
I wrote a piece on the @purism blog on why consent is critical for #privacy, the tech industry's failure to get consent, and as a result how "Privacy has become the tattoo removal of the information age". https://puri.sm/posts/consent-matters-when-tech-shares-your-secrets-without-your-permission/
