Wow, i just learned that the #MIT has its own #Mastodon instance. https://mastodon.mit.edu/about

#Google removes #Kodi from search autocomplete in anti-piracy effort - the article state "But, while Kodi is legal software, it remains a space that enables piracy, akin to platforms like BitTorrent."... Yes, like any general purpose computer. 🙄 https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/29/17176894/google-removes-kodi-search-autocomplete-anti-piracy

@rysiek
Can you please open a feature request on github.com/nextcloud/server? That's the easiest way to discuss it with the developers and get it implemented. Of course a pull request would be even more awesome. ;)

1) one is a black box where you have to trust the ownet the other one not, IMHO this makes a difference. 2) AFAIK that's much more than WhatsApp does: https://signal.org/blog/private-contact-discovery/ the last time I checks WhatsApp synced and stored the whole address book. 3) IMHO it makes a difference, first the meta data are different, see 2. Second whether you can combine it with all the online and offline information from facebook or not makes a difference as well.

"The question is whether we’re ready to exercise our data sovereignty, or whether we’re content to play passive victims while surveillance capitalism extends ever finer threads into every corner of our lives." - The solutions are out there, we just have to use them... Signal instead of WhatsApp, Diaspora instead of Facebook, Mastodon instead of Twitter... You have the choice. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/mar/23/dont-waste-the-cambridge-analytica-scandal-its-a-chance-to-take-control-of-our-data

Mir ist ja immer noch absolut unbegreiflich, wie man sich freiwillig und absolut ohne Not so eine Wanze in die eigenen vier Wände holen kann... #Amazon #Alexa

@masoud @BryanLunduke CopperheadOS switched their license some time ago to CC BY-NC-SA because they decided that this is the only way for them to secure their business https://copperhead.co/android/docs/building#redistribution

@BryanLunduke
CopperheadOS was once quite promising but then they switched to non-free software licenses :(
