i got same experience as many other today on Twitter: When I included the url to login page for my Mastodon instance, my tweet was refused to be sent. Incredible!

@madamscientist This new article is exactly about Tesla investors concern plus reputation issue; if Tesla may loose customers due to controversial tweets. "Some Tesla investors are concerned that Musk is focusing too much on the social media company and becoming more polarizing" washingtonpost.com/technology/

@shawnp0wers I don't get it what could upset about that video. Apparently it does. Read your blog now, I think I may have read it when you wrote it.
I came to think about my first and only visit to Mexico and Tijuana (1999). We took the tram to the border. Walking into Mexico, no check at all. But the opposite direction in the eve back to San Diego, US indeed had border control... but for me: white with a Swedish passport it was a speedy process compared to how it was for Mexicans.

@count @JoergSorge Rather telecom have been my area, partly with ex internal IT-tool owner. But standard tools have been out of my control... so typical tools like Microsoft etc. But as person, I am interested in privacy and security, open source, Linux etc.

@LivInTheLookingGlass Oki, fair. For me, I haven't tried bridge (I use Matrix but not much yet), if I try I think it will firstly be WhatsApp.

@LivInTheLookingGlass As I understand, the End to end eencryption is broken over the bridge. If I understand correctly, have you seen that as an issue? (still better than no encryption at all, of course, but in comparison to no break)

-14 C and a couple of dm snow, should qualify to state it is winter here!

@fla Pragmatism is often important! I am interested in privacy and security, I indeed know some but is not at all an expert. In reality, it mean I use SMS, iMessage, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, LinkedIn messenger, and probably more. And I do also use Signal and Matrix, but not so often, because the primary goal is the communication with the specific person. But when I can choose, and nudge other, I prefer one Signal and Matrix, of those above. That is shortly my background to the question.

@KitKat @fla @Natureshadow@floss.social No, I do not know what FUD means.

@ludman1 Aha, oki. This thread is first time I hear about Threema at all. My starting point for pros and cons are that both are used to chat-communicate; which means centralised can be a pro/con.

@madamscientist I haven’t thought of the lawsuit aspect, but you are right it makes sense (esp as it is traded in US where l understand lawsuits are common).

@samuel Får mig att minnas stortvättstugor i Norra Botkyrka, särskilt den i Fittja, i lokal vid T-banan på sidan th om ingången till T-banan. Den tvättstugan var för hela Fittjas hyreshusgäster. Den var bemannad av personal. Även om Fittja inte är så stort så var det en bit att gå och konka och åtminstone någon stund under passet var det inte ovanligt att sitta ner i den lilla glasburen med träbord och träbänkar tillsammans med bok och kaffetermos. Många år sedan stortvättstugan avvecklades.

I'm somewhat surprised that Microsoft acquires a fiber technology company! Hollow core fiber (HCF) company, spinoff from University of Southampton, UK. If my memory is correct, that university/town has a long tradition in HCF.

@zaivala Thanks Moss for the bio on Lem. I'll note it on my book suggestions record (Joplin!). Appears as he is best to read when I am in a good mood.
