♲ @torproject@mastodon.social: Today we celebrate #HumanRightsDay

Passed exactly 72 years ago, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights memorializes the basic notion that fundamental freedoms, including privacy, expression, and access to information, are essential for people all over the world.

♲ @krille@metalhead.club: FluffyChat 0.23.0 is out now with password recovery options and a lot of minor fixes and UX improvements. Now also available on Flathub!! 🙂 Learn more at: fluffychat.im

♲ @carl@linuxrocks.online: There is a new feature in NeoChat, the #kirigami @matrix client. Now you can directly reply or add reactions to a message from a menu that appears on hover. #kde

♲ @praveen@social.masto.host: Any #nodejs developers interested in taking up this challenge?

Build #yarn 1.x with #babel 7.x

Yarn 2.x already moved to babel 7.x but there is no stable release for yarn 2.x and it is completely different from yarn 1.x.

This will help us ship yarn in #debian (we already moved everything else to babel 7.x but could not port this yet) for next stable release bullseye.

It would be useful to nodejs developers to make initial installation of yarn easy.

♲ @debian@framapiaf.org: Let's give a shoutout to the ftp-master team for crushing it on the NEW queue ftp-master.debian.org/stat.htm…

♲ @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org: Did we mention backdoors are a terrible idea?

RT @TheRegister@twitter.com

NSA: We've learned our lesson after foreign spies used one of our crypto backdoors – but we can't say how exactly reg.cx/3nnW

♲ @Tutanota@mastodon.social: The EU Council is pushing for encryption backdoors to messenger apps such as WhatsApp and Signal to fight terrorism (German article): fm4.orf.at/stories/3008930/

Despite the fact that errors of investigation in Austrian authorities had made the attack possible in the first place and not a lack of digital surveillance powers. Politicians must start to understand that more surveillance will not lead to more security. That's why we fight any attempt for an encryption backdoor: tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-…

♲ @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org: Open Tech Will Save Us #8 will take place on Wednesday! Hear from @Info_Activism@twitter.com on misinformation, CHATONS (initiated by Framasoft), and our own uhoreg on the state of #encryption in Matrix (it's pretty good!) matrix.org/open-tech-will-save…

♲ @mcevnon@mastodon.social: YES! KDE gonna have its own Matrix client.

This is very interesting to me. Very curious about Matrix and would love to see this move into making a server. #elixirlang #matrix #element simplabs.com/blog/2020/11/02/b…

♲ @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org: Last Sunday the UK/US/CA/AU/NZ/IN/JP govts issued a statement asking tech companies to add backdoors into E2E encryption. This is a big deal: unfortunately *backdoors do not work*. Read about our alternative: combating abuse via decentralised reputation.🔒 matrix.org/blog/2020/10/19/com…
