Nour E-Din worked on the integration of EteSync with Evolution - GNOME’s suite for managing your emails, contacts, and schedule. EteSync allows you to synchronize Calendars, Contacts & Tasks securely across your devices. See how they did it by reading their final GSoC report!

If you think these hardware cryptographic security measures are actually about customer security and not vendor control, I have printers to sell you that reject refilled ink cartridges and farm tractors you aren't allowed to repair.

Yet another study trying to drive consumer based regulation of agriculture. These studies are all based on the same flawed premise, that somehow animals can't be farmed in natural habitats.

libhandy 1.0.0 released. 🎉
We released it a bit in advance to let application maintainers update their submodules in time for the GNOME 3.38.0 release. 😀 That being said, we expect distros to ship libhandy as any other regular stable library. 😉

Too many people. The health of the environment is the key to sustaining humans. Any measures taken to save lives at a macro level is a threat to humanity. This is a hard truth that humanity isn't mature enough to accept. The only mitigator that doesn't involve people dying is moving people off planet. There is no viable solution in sight, but there is time, if we can find intelligence. #dumballover

Urban dwellers are the dupes of the ruling classes. They are always faced with the edifices of power. Easier to control dependencies of those without direct access to necessary resources. In rural areas, strong policing is required to limit access to resources, but ownership of resources not contained in walls and spread over a large area suffers from appearances of legitimacy and is much harder to police.
Money only has value, if it is the only access to necessary resources.

When stores refuse to take cash, they discriminate against people who lack access to payment methods like credit cards. Unbanked and underbanked people are disproportionately people of color. That’s why Congress must pass the Payment Choice Act. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/09/pass-payment-choice-act
