@velartrill What's so wrong about this? Any well documented/trustworthy sources saying differently? What's the best alternative?

Working on a blogpost to present my reccomended minimum extensions for privacy and security (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/5619768/what-i-always-install/)

But I need at least one illustration or photo to the text, and I have no idea what. What do you think?

Wow. I had no idea

"Bangladesh is the most densely-populated large country in the world, with 1,252 people per square kilometer. It's more than twice as dense as South Korea – the second most densely-populated country at 528 people per square kilometer."

@gael @lilletale I posted this to a couple of subreddits https://www.reddit.com/r/opensource/comments/bmmqkt/the_new_android_based_foss_mobile_os_e_will_start/

@gael Oh my, I love that! That is such a smart move! Environmentally friendly refurbished phones, and you don't have to go trough all the hassle of installing the OS! This is so great!

PS: Will you support Fairphone FP2 in the future? My friend @lilletale has one in need of an upgrade

@entreprecariat Oh no, I messed up

At least Lightning works in the newest version available on thunderbird.net, so that's a huge relief!

How come the only Thunderbird available in Ubuntu 19.04 is from the Snap store and is an older version where Lightning, and thus the Exchange calendar system that almost all workplaces use, does not work?

And how come the Thunderbird website does not have a .deb or any other package for installation, just a tarball you have to extract, and thus can not integrate into you system without beeing much more of a geek than I am?

This is an extremely important read!

"If we take freedom and openness for granted, we'll lose both. That's already happening, and we need to fight back. The question is how.

We have to fight for the general purpose computer. Read the linked texts by Cory Doctorow at the bottom:

@kaniini @kaikatsu What other things where there? And what do you think of /e/?

@charlag Yeah. That's why I said it seems like they're working on it, not that it's actually here. The image is just a pic of the update in the app store, the relevant part is the one I quoted

Hey, you know how #Wire has been promising for a long time to allow federation? Looks like they're working on it!

In the latest changelog you can read: "The Android Wire client can now be run against a private server."

Cool beans!

@pe_ertu_be Hehe :D

But yeah, is this not possible?

So how exactly do I subscribe to a #PeerTube account with my Peertube account on another server?

Trying the only logical thing I could think find (which was not at all very easy) just gave me this error message

So, https://video.blender.org/ is built on PeerTube. But when I search for it here on Mastodon it doesn''t show up so that I can follow it. What gives? #federation @nolan

@Aleums Damn, dude!

After all the aftermath and destruction of the Notre Dame fire, the beehives on the roof remained untouched. Please explain to me how you don’t believe in Aristaeus after seeing this.

@dansup This is amazing work! Thank you!
