Det har du rätt i. Observera dock att det där inte är DFRIs egen webbsida, DFRI kan inte bestämma hur Volontärbyrån gör. DFRIs egen sida är fri från sånt där: https://www.dfri.se/engagera-dig/vill-du-som-systemadministrator-hjalpa-starka-manniskors-ratt-till-privatliv-och-digitala-integritet/
Frågan är väl om DFRI borde låta bli att annonsera på Volontärbyrån för att Volontärbyrån använder Google-grejor på det där sättet. Kanske. Men samtidigt behöver DFRI nå nya människor, hur ska det gå till när de flesta lever helt i en Google-värld om DFRI inte alls kan synas där?
@neil Well done! How did you install Signal -- is it Signal Desktop, or, Axolotl, or something else?
@mntmn Great! Any chance that mine is in that batch? Ordered in October 2020.

Encryption helps protect the privacy of people you communicate with, and makes life difficult for bulk surveillance systems. Learn how with our Email Self Defense guide: https://u.fsf.org/1df
@shiftyskip I think that goes back to the old typewriter days, before computers.
My guess is the machines were made like that because it was then easier to make the metal arms for the different keys fit. Then it became a standard, people learned to type that way.
@volt4ire I think whatever tempo they use, if they don't want it to sound military then the bigger problem is the text, the lyrics of the song. The chorus, something about "impure blood". Seriously, it's 2021 and that's still the official national anthem? 😕
@calebccff Thanks for answering!
I see your point, but I still understand why the FSF do as they do regarding the certification. It allows them to keep a simple view of things: we have a piece of hardware (like a phone or laptop) and then we have the software that we install on it. That software should be free software. There is some advantage to this simplicity, I think.
Anyway, it is certainly a difficult question, how to formulate such a certification.
@calebccff Why do you call the certification ridiculous?
I would say that what is ridiculous in this context is the apparent lack of devices with free firmware.
To me, it makes sense that the FSF does not want to endorse the use of nonfree software.
@neil Someone -- not me, not selling mine 😉 -- posted this in the Purism forum just 8 hours ago:

@rumo @eliasr @matrix Sorry to wade in late, but I Have Thoughts.™️
The answer is easy: put the original on peertube or wherever, and put a shorter version or a teaser on youtube, with a link to the rest. Give people a path toward discovering the approach to video sharing that doesn't take advantage of them.
Don't be satisfied slouching to youtube if you are supposed to be an organization with a vision! Give people what they want, reach them, and push things in the right direction! #privacy

It can probably be done on #PinePhone as well.

You can argue that you want to preach to people who are on youtube, that then becomes a reason to be present on youtube. But this is matrix.org -- their own site that they (matrix) control, and they choose to lead people to youtube (Google) from there.
To me it indicates either that they don't understand the problem, or that they don't care. Either way, it looks bad.
Be on youtube if you think you must, but keep your own site clean. Don't act like you are owned by Google.
How about moving away from youtube for your videos?
When you write something about "Social Good" and at the same time lead people to youtube, that takes away some credibility.
Youtube is Google, pushing people there means giving even more power to Google. That is not "social good".
@MatejLach But systemd is in Debian now. Are you saying they will remove it?
@alexbuzzbee Yes, I think href is where the H in HTML comes from, it's what makes it hyper-text. 🙂 Without that, we just have regular text with some trivial decorations like different styles or fonts.

@dsv I never need to think twice about that: fb is a frambuffer, that comes to mind instantly. 😉

@civodul You mean that code should generally not be doing different things depending on what distro it thinks it is running on?
