For those who can read German here is what I am talking about. It's a law that to my knowledge currently the European conservative coalition will push for and that will force providers of encrypted chatting services to generate two keys. One for the receiver and one for law enforcement and everyone who the Police thinks posted something "hateful" could be effected. There is the hope for E-Privacy but it's blocked for multiple years by now so who knows when we will get it.

Google has suspended Element (@matrix) from the Play Store for "Sexual Content and Profanity". Basically same story as with Subway Tooter a while back. Element is to Matrix as Chrome is to the web. Curiously, Chrome is still on the Play Store.

In the last few months I and some of my classmates have been working on a project management system that focuses on school projects.
The system backend is written in #python with an async #asgi framework #quart-trio. It uses #rethinkdb as its main database, with #ipfs for file hosting.
Any testing and feedback is highly appreciated.

the fact that win10 actually refuses to let you shut off the computer *right now* without installing the updates first is perhaps one of the most user-hostile and consent-violating things i've ever seen in software. instead i hard power off, potentially corrupting the filesystem. fuck yourself, microsoft, and i hope i never learn the names of the devs who implemented this malware.

if you have advanced protection on, google will mangle all your emails, even via imap, to rewrite all URLs to the google redirector, breaking email signatures, breaking PGP crypto signatures, et c.

if you want to back up your mail in its original form, you have to do it via data takeout/export.

also google: if you want to export your email unmodified, it takes months(!) because you have advanced protection on.

Private companies can exclude who they want. But the closer you get to the Internet's core infrastructure, the more troubling those exclusions become. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/01/beyond-platforms-private-censorship-parler-and-stack
