Anybody else notices that they can’t add/follow users? For some reason I can’t follow anybody: click the icon, goes blue (+), the turns grey again (-)...

A bit off topic regarding my usual posting, but I’ve been DIY-ing for a few days to get the old leaky radiator cranes out. A few days of full chaos, tool, parts and puddles of water everywhere!
Some old parts needed a little more force then others... forces like saws and stuff...

The 3rd part of https://ww.thechive.com battle with G00gle & FB as independentlt publishers of their content. TheChive is independent and still ranking in a top10 list of visited site, to the annoyance of G&FB.

Help then out by visiting and supporting!

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

@nitox@fosstodon.org Signal is nice too. Give that a try :)

@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 😇

@fatboy let get this started: #installlinux Replaced my #fedora29 for #manjarolinux (with #xfce ).... Still dual boot with win10.... Sorry ;)

Quite funny Mark: blaming the others.... Warning that a Internet shaped by China is a bad idea...
