After years of separation from our parents, my wife and I have no desire to be separated from our SONS.

After two years of waiting and nearly ten years of exile, a little stability will make a difference for my family. I pray for privacy for them—and for us all. t.co/24NUK21TAo t.co/qLfp47uzZ4

@dcz I've never been comfortable with E2EE solutions that are not encrypted *before they leave the computer*.

I'd much rather use GPG, and encrypt something on my machine, before it ever gets onto the net. Solutions like Protonmail (using a browser), while they are better than nothing, I just don't trust them.

Important announcement: end-to-end encryption concerns USERS, and not APPLICATIONS. The ends are the AGENTS, not the CODE they run.

If your communication application processes your messages on behalf of someone other than you or your recipient, then it's NOT #E2EE.

I'm surprised how many people seem to accept that applications exchange messages rather than people. Nope. If the application censors you or leaks contents to someone else, then your communication is not E2EE by definition.

@dallin@fosstodon.org Take work out of it, and the computers I run are FLOSS. And my FLOSS ways seem to have rubbed off on my kids 😀

As a professional iOS dev, I use a Mac and iPhone most days. So I have a foot in both worlds.

@dallin@fosstodon.org I got in early, when the phone was $650. Still pretty pricey for a phone, but I was (and still am) excited about an alternative to iOS and Android.

That said, I'm still waiting on the phone, though it sounds like I should have it by end-of-year. I have an idea of what it will be like because I have a Pinephone running Mobian (with Phosh). The Pinephone isn't bad, but I'm looking forward to more horsepower.

This is a new superhero named TUX.

Tell us their superpowers!

(We'll go first: TUX has the ability to instantly transform that unnecessary Jitsi meeting into a simple email using the power of Thunderbird and open source!)

I you upgrade your Fedora crypto policy, you'll see that:

```
sudo update-crypto-policies --set FUTURE
curl foo.bar/
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: EE certificate key too weak
```

This guide shows how to set up ecdsa encryption:

"Successful shitty tech rollouts start with people you can abuse with impunity (prisoners, kids, migrants, etc)"

"20 years ago, if you were eating your dinner under the unblinking eye of a video-camera, it was because you were in a supermax prison. Now, thanks to "luxury surveillance," you can get the same experience in your middle-class home"

"Yes. Big Tech is Building SKYNET. AI Machine Learning."

Braxman talks about how machine learning works, how computers are searching for mathematical patterns regardless of what type of input is used - visual, audio, etc.

Music from the 1980's video game "Quest for Glory - So You Want to Be a Hero", by Sierra Online. Though when I played it, on my Tandy 1000 EX, it was still known as "Hero's Quest".

Singling out @tiktok_us just because it's linked to China is entirely the wrong move.

Don't ban a company.
Don't ban a country.
Ban the *practice.*

Make the systematic and exploitative collection of people's private details unlawful. Under *any* flag.

"Dave, Are We Living In The End Times?"

A pretty good answer from Dave Ramsey on the question "Are we living in the end times?".

I'm with Dave on this one - we cannot predict the end of the world.

I don't mean to brag, but I've survived several "end of the worlds" so far! :)
