On my short list right now are a blog post about #Convergence and another one about #Reddit clients. But what should I make my next @PINE64 #PinePhone video about?

#Sailfish OS? Nemo Mobile, finally? #OpenSUSE? Sway on Arch? Something else?

(PS: I need a break from #Anbox)

For the most part I really enjoy using Matrix for chat. But the IRC bridge, particularly with Freenode, is really really irritating. Especially getting kicked from Matrix rooms that are bridged because my IRC connection has been "idle" for too long. So I find myself falling back to IRC where I would rather use Matrix because of the bridge can cause more problems that it solves.

@purism made it!

Today I looked for a online radio application for my notebook and found #shortwave.

Looking at its homepage I've been surprised by the information that it is using #libhandy and compatible with the #Librem5.

Now listening to #radioparadise happily. Nice application!

"For 18 months, residents of a village in Wales have been mystified as to why their broadband internet crashed every morning.

Single sign-on is not only convenient, it also comes with a lot of security risks: https://www.wired.com/story/single-sign-on-facebook-google-apple/

@eff Countries in the Americas are missing a key opportunity to strengthen their safeguards on communications privacy with rights and principles common to the global data protection toolkit. 5/

@eff Since 2018, Brazil, Barbados, and Panama have adopted GDPR-inspired laws in the region. These set a legal basis for safeguards on the processing of personal data, and a right not to be subject to automated decision-making and portability. 3/

Ok I admit it

Sometimes I truly hate this world and its empty mundanery.

But other times I find out that magic is real because someone on Biden’s cybersecurity crew was GNAA and I love this place all over again.

Hahahahah!
