I accidentally a Font Degooglifier:
https://git.occrp.org/libre/fonts-degooglifier

I was sick and tired of having to manually degooglify fonts, so I made this. Seems to work. Handles both local files and URLs.

Perhaps somebody finds it useful.

amazed that people argue online over which megacorps processors are the best. i'll let you in on a secret:

they're all bad. computers are bad. go outside.

For every racist white woman you uplift, there are like 30 women and femmes of color more feminist and less bigoted out there in obscurity.

Getting ready to watch another old movie and record a podcast about it! Tonight it is my favorite bad movie Manos: The hands of fate.

@natecull The problem was that literally the only reason they were freaking out was because it was the government talking about doing it. They never had any problem with private industry doing it for private ends.

What I don't get about Slack or any other 'chat as a service' system is why tech companies would willingly backdoor themselves with a surveillance system to harvest all their most private in-house discussions.

All those chat logs must be worth quite a bit to the right buyers.

but seriously, somewhere between 2000 and 2019 the IT industry seamlessly transitioned from

"we provide precision engineering tools, your data is yours, you should not need to trust us or anyone, mathematics is your guarantee, crypto 4 ever. "

to

"give us your data. all of it. give. no secrets. hold nothing back. in return we will... train AIs on it.. and provide unspecified 'services'... for someone, who may be you... that can change at any time... and we are funded by, uh. Look, a unicorn!"

@rysiek @hashtagsecurity We think the same. Most likely in the future, pEp won't recognize S/MIME emails as safe and private.

@rysiek @paolo pEp is implementing OpenPGP standard, so any pEp with OpenPGP client communication is compatible. pEp with pEp is additionally bringing extra features.

PGP inline is not used, bcs it's leaking too much metadata. So default is pEp, then OpenPGP and when no public key is available it is using plaintext. Idea is to make it easy for ordinary users, so all key management is done in the background. No need to manually import keys, decrypt/encrypt etc.

Sudden flashback to that time I was laughing so hard for six minutes that I physically couldn't get out of bed because it occurred to me that the literal translation for the German word for squirrel is "oak horny".
