People in the 60's: I hope the government hasn't wiretapped my phone.

People in 2021: Hey wiretap, what's a good recipe for pumpkin soup?

@matrix I felt as a Nheko developer I had to reply to this quote:

> Diesen Clienten ist gemein, daß Sie keinen E2EC, Audio- und Videochat Support haben.

While Nheko on the PinePhone certainly has issues and I can't get the camera to work at all atm on the distribution I'm using, here is receiving a voice call in an e2ee room (calling out works too):

#Google should spend a lot more money on #Android. By 2016 they spent $9 billion on Android, and made $22 billion in profit. It is clear that Android users are not the customers here.

I'd like to give a shout-out to @snikket_im, and in particular to @mattj for creating this awesome new #XMPP project, as well as a friendly and welcoming support community. Snikket has lowered the bar of entry into the world of XMPP by several orders of magnitude. It takes more time to install/configure your #raspberrypi & prepare your DNS zone than it takes it to install Snikket itself. Anyone who can get Linux running on a Pi can run their own XMPP server thanks to Snikket. #awesomeSelfhosted

"Companies that sell consumer electronics such as refrigerators, washers, hairdryers, or TVs in the European Union - and in the UK - will need to ensure those goods can be repaired for up to 10 years."

UK has to follow the same manufacturing rules since it continues to trade with the EU

It only covers appliances, but it's a step in the right direction

For Snowflake volunteers: If you use Firefox, Brave, or Chrome, our Snowflake extension turns your browser into a proxy that connects Tor users in censored regions to the Tor network. Note: you should not run more than one snowflake in the same network.

📣 Starting this month, we're running a campaign to increase the number of Snowflake proxies run by volunteers. Snowflake is a new way to defeat internet censorship bundled in Tor Browser Alpha. You can help users in censored countries to connect to Tor by running a Snowflake proxy!

Linux distributions in a nutshell

In particular I appreciated the discussion on the responsibility everyone has not just for their own #privacy, but the privacy of everyone else they connect with. When you give up your privacy to an app, you are also selling out your friends, family and colleagues.
