Are you also concerned about the @EUCommission decision to cut the funding for #FreeSoftware projects?
Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper 🗞️ to make their readers aware of the importance of funding #FreeSoftware solutions with a long-term sustainable funding:
#Wayland #inputmethod team GO!
I assembled a team to continue work I started for #mobilelinux with #phosh , #squeekboard and #librem5 .
We're going to finish the mobile side of screen-based input, and also try to properly bring traditional input methods (like for Chinese) to Wayland.
Thanks @nlnet for providing the motivation.
Watch this account!
@cisene du borde kanske checka in för detox på något rehab-hem 🙂
Minns vad mumintrollen sagt om vad som händer med den som dricker för mycket kaffe: man får "gul nos, darriga tassar och skallig svans"!
At a kids' football cup recently I heard players mentioning the "brexit tackle", and "doing a brexit", while they were talking about one of the games they just played. As I understand it, by "doing a brexit" in this context they mean to throw yourself wildly against an opponent with complete disregard for the safety of both yourself and the opponent, also not caring about the ball or winning the game. I find it hopeful that the kids already have such deep understanding of European politics. 😁
@winterkvist är det avsiktligt att gubben har sex fingrar på bilden? 🙃
@khalid jag håller med om att det är tråkigt. Misstänker att det kan vara för att de personer som jobbar med det är vana med "hur man gör" på kommersiella aktörer där de jobbat tidigare. Många företag vill säkert pusha folk att använda app för att kunna spåra dem mer och så, kanske man är van att göra så och bara gör "som vanligt". De förstår då inte vilket uppdrag public service har. Att manipulera folk till att använda en app kan vara logiskt för företag, men är ju helt fel för public service.
@normalniklas låt oss inte ta ut våra bekymmer i förväg, för det är de inte värda! 🙂
@erikdelareguera den som DFRI har körs på en Debian-server och installationen gjordes enligt guiden här https://docs.joinpeertube.org/install/any-os så det var ett antal steg men inget särskilt svårt. Vi har inte (ännu) prövat direktsändning utan bara att lägga upp filmklipp i efterhand, men jag tror att direktsändning borde gå att göra också. När det gäller hur dyrt det är behöver man ju en server (eller VPS) att köra på, men det duger med en ganska enkel, behöver inte vara så dyrt. @mattiasaxell

@itsfoss it's that time when I found a bug and fixed it, and even got the fix accepted upstream. My one and only commit, removing one line of code! 😆 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3cac9104bea41099cf622091f0c0538bcb19050d
@docRekd then get a smartphone for which #LinuxMobile works, or help making it work for the phone you have. Don't let Google own you. Be free, and help others be free!
@lunareclipse @mcc I think that if there is a bank that requires Android, then that is a problem with that bank, its customers should request the bank to provide its services based on standards, not locked to certain operating systems. The bank should not decide which operating system you use. If banks behave like that, then those banks need to change. If you are the customer of such a bank, then tell them. "The customer is always right." 🙂
Anonymity is important.
This is a piece of news from Swedish public service radio today, about an org. protecting children's rights, it's called BRIS meaning "the rights of children in society". BRIS have received an increasing number of phone calls from children talking about crime, like kids being pressured by criminal gangs and such. They say that phone call anonymity is important for kids to dare to make the call.

Anonymity is important to reduce crime in society.
> failing to take steps to prevent
> criminal use of Telegram
Looking forward to further arrests, like knife manufacturers being arrested for failure to prevent criminal use of knives, and car manufacturers being arrested for failure to prevent criminal use of cars. Oh wait, I'm pretty sure criminals also eat food, then we should arrest food producers as well, they should no longer get away with aiding criminals in this way. Plenty of people to arrest in this brave new world!
> I wish Android were actually open source
Why not leave Android behind and move over to #LinuxMobile with #phosh where you are free from Google? It's a breath of fresh air, already works great and gets better all the time. Easy to rebuild from source.
