Just tried to order a #PinePhone. Unfortunately it turns out that the #Pine64 store uses #PayPal as their sole payment processor.

Given that I am a big proponent of voting with my feet, and PayPal is blacklisted from handling both my money and my private information, this won't do.

Is there any other way to get money to @PINE64 or do we have a No Deal?

Direct bank transfer is preferred, but if necessary I could look into getting myself a proper credit card.

Just discovered Flatseal on Flathub: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

Along with other gems like Lollipop, Fragments, Icon Library, Colour Palette, Bustle, I'm really enjoying the renaissance in GNOME app development that Flatpak and Flathub have ushered in.

Russia asked for access to Delta Chat user data ... so we had some explaining to do :) Cheers to decentralized app designs and the e-mail system's separation of apps and message transport, something that Whatsapp, Telegram and the likes fail to offer ... https://delta.chat/en/2020-05-01-roskamnadzor

I was fed up with getting email notifications from twitter because of logging in from Linux. After some researches to find out how to disable those notifications, I finally found a solution! I stopped using twitter :)

If you do not know Mark Lanegan, now is a good time to check him out.
Awesome live studio performance. Not sure what style of music this is, but it reminds me a bit of Johnny Cash.

We are delighted to receive $10K in funding from @mozilla this week. We pitched CryptPad to the MOSS Open Source Seed Award back in February at #FOSDEM. We will use these funds to improve loading times.

I set up my own #Jitsti server on the cheapest #Linode money can buy ($5/mo). I was really surprised how easy it was. I've only done small tests with one other person, but so far it looks like it performs really well.

The amount of time it took to provision the server, set up the DNS record, install Jitsi, and start testing was probably under 30 minutes. No troubleshooting required. The install went exactly like the tutorial said it would.

When even the BBC is criticising Zoom, you know it's not just greenie anarchist human-rights-defending geeks complaining...

And another worry about Zoom giving your data to Facebook:

@okennedy notifications have an established (and documented) cross desktop API. Generic lock screen plugins need more thought both code and design wise so we want to collect some use cases that can't be done via notifications first.

@fatboy @dpreacher If you like invidious, you may also like nitter. It’s an alternative frontend for twitter.
There is an firefox addon called Invidition which redirects all traffic to those services.

@LPS Thanks! I just found "Alternate Tube Redirector" for firefox that uses hooktube 😃

@MrChainman A must-read if you're asking questions about compiler development. That's one of the best texts about programming I've ever seen: "Reflections on Trusting Trust" by Ken Thomson https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/358198.358210
