Some interesting reading, reading government wanting some "backdoors" in encrypted chat apps. Like @Tutanota already earlier posted about; not a good idea at all!

The Internet turned 50 today, explains the arthritis we've been seeing recently
https://medium.com/ucla-magazine/lo-and-behold-f3aebb382421?sf215577683=1
At this age it's important to stretch and exercise ( #ActivityPub #Fediverse ), actively supplement ( #EFF #SFConservancy ) and remember to have fun ( #PepperAndCarrot )
How ironic:
- post anything on Instagram;
quite some likes/hearts
- post specific about FOSS;
a few likes/hearts
- post about Edward Snowden and privacy;
Just one (1) single like
Do people not care, or has Instagram some kind of sensorship going one....

Just finished Mr. Snowden's book: Permanent Record. Intriguing, freighting and also unbelievably good too read. The sacrifices he made and the risks taken are immense, but for the public wellbeing.
I was already reducing social media, looking into encryption and being more aware on using services on the internet. This book makes me work harder on this..
On a side note: it's ironic that I've read the book on my Amazon Kindle...

I just learned that there are only 500 /e/Phones in the wild. I had assumed there were thousands of 'em.
That means my personal (perceived) share of responsibility to the project — to test, note and report bugs, to promote and support it, etc — just ratcheted waaay up.
(Sigh)
Great phone. Go buy one, maybe two.
Hi @gael.
So 3 months ago, I bought one of the first /e/Phones, a refurbished S7 Edge with a nice #ungoogled Android OS.
I figured I was among the first few hundred buyers. Now I see they are only up to #500, which means mine must be, like, #8.
People, these are good phones. The camera software sucks. That's my only real complaint; apart from that, it rocks.
How are these things not selling faster?! Support #FOSS / #OpenSource. Buy a damn phone.
Holler out to @gael, who started it all.
Quite funny Mark: blaming the others.... Warning that a Internet shaped by China is a bad idea...

I want to start a thing, where Friday the 13th is a good-luck day (because as my high school geometry teacher used to say, all Fridays are Good Friday ) ... and instead, it's actually Monday the 13th that's the bad-luck day.
Among other things, it's an opportunity for a whole new horror-film franchise.
Tell your friends. Monday the 13th. It's gonna be a thing.
Besides eating my #carrots, I like to keep an bellanced diet with some #iron!

Finally got around to fire up the refurbished S7 of @e_mydata this weekend! First 2 days are almost over: you can find my "rolling review" at the e.foudation community.
