@t0k @Purism @privacylab this is certainly an issue with most news outlets. Journalists have no control over the profit schemes of their overlords and I still think it's important to try to reach readers beyond the FOSS / digital privacy choir.

@privacylab Really interesting but I kinda *need* to know more about this ...

"...France, for example, has asked Google to obscure all imagery of its prisons after a French gangster successfully conducted a Hollywood-inspired jailbreak involving drones, smoke bombs, and a stolen helicopter(!)..."

Check out this video of Eben Moglen speaking about #FreedomBox at Yale Law School!

Shout out to @privacylab for organizing this event!

new mastodon.social "wizard" is FANTASTIC. Great job @Gargron (and team)!

@diggity Hey didn't realize we had two active #Mozillans in the #nhv area! Sweet! long time contributor, we should connect some time and plan some privacy events.

I also host the #nhv Hombrew Website Club and organize IndieWebCamp-NYC and IndieWebCamp-NewHaven. You should get involved.

@switchingsocial Not sure if you already had CryptPad, a zero-knowlege-server-side service that does text-pads (like Etherpad, but actively developed) for code (with syntax highlighting) and formatted text, polls (similar to doodle), simple sketches, and presentations.

It's opensource, you can self-host it and even server admins cannot see any content.

The Chaos Computer Club Vienna @c3wien hosts a public instance.

You do not control your data if it is not #secure.

Our latest #nextcloud 15 allows admins to enforce two-factor authentication, we added new security hardenings and we made 2FA easier. That is how we keep your data yours! #privacy #GDPR #Compliance

I released a new version of my Firefox extension that will forcefully redirect you away from privacy erosive services to better alternatives. It started as a joke, but I end up actually using it.

When I want to look up a place, I instinctively and mechanically start typing "maps.googl...". This extension will instead take me to OpenStreetMaps. It will also functionally translate Google Search links to DuckDuckGo and Google Translate links to Deepl.

@privacylab this is literally the worst possible way to handle border crossing
