We are working on multiple new features, one of them, the WebApps for Windows, Linux and Mac, a functionality that will be very useful for our LibreOffice Online instances integrated with Astian Cloud and a very interesting productivity suite. Coming soon
As of yesterday, we have to add the name Alex Pertsev to the list of peaceful, non-violent, political prisoners, who have wronged no other person, but only the pride of governments.
He developed a #privacy tool and was convicted for the potential crimes that someone else may have committed with the tool. There is zero evidence of himself having committed a crime, so the entire sentence of 64 months imprisonment is based on him merely writing decentralized #FOSS and running a Web GUI for it.
#WhatsApp uses the open-source #Signal protocol… However, encryption isn’t the whole story… WhatsApp and, by extension, all #Meta organizations know you sent something, when you sent it, and who you sent it to…
Not my comfort zone to be the subject of a mini documentary like this, but here we are! Grateful to @mozilla for uplifting @horizontal's work and supporting our fight for a more open, safe, and private internet.
And always grateful to be building with a team of talented people who put care into both what we make and how we make it together 💙
Anyone know of any printable #zines on digital #privacy ? I've got a small little workshop coming up and think something like that to hand out would be perfect :)

Being watched "could limit your desire to take risks or exercise free speech. Over the long term these 'chilling effects' could 'cool down' society."
I have had a new laptop for a day, and it's shit-hot!
Clearly aimed at gamers but the best spec I could find for development.
I went #Lenovo#Legion9 (max), rather than #Dell for the first time because the spec, and the fact my last Dell is faulty after 6 years (whereas my previous 15yr Dell is still perfect).
Lenovo support is poor, outsourced, unhelpful and knows less than I do.
Windows 11 was the only option, so no Ubuntu drivers. But ok, except the trackpad so far, USB devices on order.

Yes, refurbs can be excellent value if they meet your needs/wants.
I still have an working ThinkPad T41 refurb that I put Bodhi Linux on.
The #Windows11 setup yesterday shows me everything I've heard and abhorred about #Windows lately. Even after configuring for #privacy#Edge was sending all my clicks home and making this shit-hot laptop sluggish!
Pretty shocking actually. Enter Firefox and Brave [phew].
