Christmas is coming so with it I post my favorite meme for the occasion.

I hate typing on touchscreens. For years, this was a non-issue since I had a BlackBerry Classic. After moving to a more modern phone (first a Moto e6, then a Teracube 2e), I wanted a solution that would make it easier to see and respond to SMS on my computer and larger tablet. I settled on JMP, which connects a number to an XMPP account, and wrote about my experience.

Our 6-yr-old Fairphone 2 is being upgraded to Android 10. That’s 7 years of software support! An industry first for an Android device! 🙌 Together with the open source community we built the operating system. Proving it is possible to put sustainability at the heart of tech. 🌿

Has your phone stopped receiving software updates? Wait before tossing it away: #FreeSoftware might give your device a second life.

Consider #UpcyclingAndroid to overcome software obsolescence and reduce e-waste. 🌳 #ewwr2021

Hi @delta I just convinced my friend who uses K9 to turn on "Autocrypt mutual mode" and then our chat (them on K9, me on Delta Chat) became encrypted ♥ That is awesome

Looks like I'm NOT that paranoid because of refusing to use any fingerprint related unlocking mechanism after all.

Only shows how big #GoogleMaps has become, where a government agency "asks" them to modify their features, and whose users "pay" for the "free" map by becoming targets for advertisers

P.S.
Many of these cycleway maps are available for Free #OpenStreetMap 😜

Don't buy them: it infringes my moral right (https://davidrevoy.com/article864/) and they added CC-By compliance just now after fans noticed.

While I'm sending out reminders for my various co-op pipe dreams: anyone want to start an #XMPP server run as a platform co-op? We've got a mailing list and chat room, but we need a wider skill set represented before we can reasonably get started! DM me for details! #coops
