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

At this age it's important to stretch and exercise ( #ActivityPub #Fediverse ), actively supplement ( #EFF #SFConservancy ) and remember to have fun ( #PepperAndCarrot )
@fatboy what at least I say: time to sell my Fitbit....
@fatboy /e/ is Nice, but still not usable for daily use
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....

@fatboy a very good question indeed. Her in NL it's the main (even only) choice for people to use. Tried to convert some people to use something else, but it's a hard sell (even when they are fearful of FB).
And I have to admit, as one of the organizers of some groups (volunteer thingies) is hard to leave, like some suggested in your earlier comments...
Alternatively: leave a phone with WA at home (and only use there), and use another phone with Signal/Wire/...... on the road.
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...

@thahajemni@fosstodon.org I've got on of the e_phone of @gael: not my primary phone, but test phone. While I used it for a bit, you noticed how much you use WA... The whole of NL is residing in there.... A bit freighting to be honest
@fatboy yes it does 😇
Let's get the party started on Mastodon #InstallLinux
@fatboy let get this started: #installlinux Replaced my #fedora29 for #manjarolinux (with #xfce ).... Still dual boot with win10.... Sorry ;)
(Sigh)
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...
