We're gearing up to implement all new UX for E2E encryption, including cross-signing (yay!!!), trust-on-first-use, E2E search, and then at last E2E-by-default! We're also making the leap to @figmadesign@twitter.com for our UI/UX work, which is proving incredibly fun :D Here's a sneak peek...
♲ @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org: Happy Friday? It definitely is! Check out This Week in Matrix, it's got all the latest news about #matrix and #decentralisation, and features a great video chat about progress and plans for bridging with Slack, IRC and more matrix.org/blog/2019/09/20/thi… PLUS new server ranking table!
♲ @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org: How was your week? This Week in Matrix we're celebrating being included in Mozilla's shortlist of IM systems, looking forward to improved Slack bridging (1.0 incoming!) and MORE! Go read: matrix.org/blog/2019/09/13/thi…
♲ @torproject@mastodon.social: Today is National Whistleblower Day in the US.
We're proud the Tor network is the backbone of other tools like SecureDrop, GlobaLeaks, & Méxicoleaks that allow whistleblowers to communicate with less risk. blog.torproject.org/italian-an… #OnionizeTheWeb
One good way to ensure that you can trust your end-to-end encryption is to use an open protocol that allows you to use whatever client you want, which means that the system isn't controlled by just one entity. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/07/…
♲ @Bubu@chaos.social: PSA: Free Speech doesn't mean everyone has to give you a platform. Moderating content isn't #censorship. The current discussion around #FDroid and gab has nothing to do with free speech at all.
If you want to distribute an app that no one else wants to host make your own repo. If you have an opinion that isn't welcome anywhere else make your own blog.
♲ @freedomboxfndn@mastodon.social: Matrix version 1.0 has been released! We think Matrix is already so good that you could host it on a home server and use it to replace Whatsapp.
♲ @Bubu@chaos.social: I'm *really* not happy about the #Github #Sponsors project (github.com/sponsors). It'll bind a lot of open source project much more strongly to github's closed, proprietary ecosystem if that's where they have any chance of getting some money.
It's so hypocritical that soo many #FOSS projects are hosted on a non-free platform. With #Gitlab there's even a superior just as easy to use alternative there.
And most people are celebrating this move by github 😢.
