Towards Federated Key Transparency by @soatok

> "In late 2022, I blogged about the work needed to develop a specification for end-to-end encryption for the . I sketched out some of the key management components on GitHub, and then the public work abruptly stalled. A few of you have wondered what’s the deal with that. This post covers why this effort stalled, what I’m proposing we do next."

Meredith Whittaker president of @signalapp on #Xitter announces #Signal will leave #EU market if #ChatControl regulation by @EUCommission comes into effect.

MEP @echo_pbreyer for a long time is raising awareness of the pervasive #privacy-eroding nature of this regulation, which won't have its intended effect of protecting children.

#EUCommission is like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in how good regulation is followed by dystopic stuff, eroding trust.

@linuxfoundation projects are already seen as overly corporate, and sticking as much as possible to at least and preferably even in docs + elaborated examples would help to not further reinforce that notion.

TIL about licensing..

https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Copyfarleft

Like the Peer Production license:

> "The peer production license is an example of the Copyfair type of license, in which only other commoners, cooperatives and nonprofits can share and re-use the material, but not commercial entities intent on making profit through the commons without explicit reciprocity."

I thought the battery of my ancient #Android phone had finally given out. Battery went from fully charged to empty in a heartbeat.

However #Proton app was somehow stuck trying to fetch notifications, so I killed it, thinking this was a battery drain. It likely was.

Along the way I found a real useful feature: Data Saver 😃

After I turned this on my battery lasts for days now, and I don't get superfluous notifications anymore either.

OMG the thugs at decided they better steal Scarlett Johannson's voice after she declined a contract to get voiced by her.

Two days before launch of she was approached again by Sam Altman, Head of Crooks. And refused again.

To then find her overly uplifting, encouraging, positive sounding voice creating the uncanny valley in these demo's.

When approaching OpenAI by her legal councilors the voice was suddenly pulled.

Saddening me time and again is seeing individualism and fragmentation in .

between projects that's so often low-hanging fruit, yet never happens. More anticipation of needs, helping each other, be stronger together. Yet it hardly shapes up to the extent that it could.

We seem to lack time to become sustainable, let alone 'win' from . No time to seek collab as we prod on alone.

There are exceptions of course, and better collab tools are becoming available.

Why is it so hard in and with to show thumbnails of the screenshots I made, so I know which image to select without painstakingly opening them one by one from separate file window?

There's many images in my screenshot dir, all having thumbnails, except those created in the last 5 days. Why no thumbnails here? Why?

@protonprivacy there's some functionality I'd like to have in .

I created a filter that based on a CC mail address put a Label on every match, favorited the mail and put it in a separate folder.

Great. Except that there were 1600 mails using that CC that were filtered which shouldn't have been matched. I made a mistake.

And now there's NO way to correct, except for manually opening each and every mail to unfavorite and remove the label, then place it in the folders they originated

Hi @matt 👋

Yesterday in chat I named the project, a real adorable 😍 effort that's still lacking on the side, i.e. could do with some on board.

Today I found out that Makepad is apparently part of a appdev effort, called . Another project here is .. also in for @accesskit support.. maybe. 🤔

Robius looks like a very loose conglomeration of independent projects. Maybe AccessKit is even a fit to it?

In #LibrePlanet talk about #GNU #Taler the speaker Iván Alejandro Ávalos Díaz is warning us about our future in 2050 where we no longer have #Freedoms to choose our payment systems, pay with cash, or pay at all if we were behaving 'naughty'.

@Taler @NGI_Taler

Screenshot from the talk showing fictitious screenshot in 2050 showing that unfortunately PainPal has frozen your bank account due to 'suspicious activity'. Reasons are that the article are deemed to be against corporate interest to show you, you use encrypted equipment, and you might create competing financial systems.

Time to move off has finally come. So many to choose from, though. Makes my head spin 😵

I need one with:

  1. Great support (maybe get that webcam working finally)

  2. Smooth & slick / (I'm less of a terminal guy)

  3. Focus on , security-first approach (but not the ones that are made for James Bond)
