#JosephStalin would be so proud of #MarkZuckerberg. It's never been so easy to create a #kompromat of any of us now.

Did I mention, that #SensorWatchPro is pretty cool? With the totp_lfs_face #complication, I now have #TOTP #2FA on my #wristWatch, and it's not even a #smartwatch.

Thanks, @nprofile1q...!

Was bzw. wofür ist das?

Dreaming: Vielleicht sollten sich möglichst viele Mitglieder des Vereins zusammenschließen um gegen #Appzwang / #Handyzwang / #Smartphonezwang / #GAFAMzwang vorzugehen? Wir sind immerhin schon zu zweit 😉

Ich bin auch bei dem Verein und nutze dafür nur den Webbrowser 🤷 (Habe kein Android oder iOS.)

Man kann nicht oft genug daran erinnern:

Die Idee "die App muß nicht unbedingt #freieSoftware sein oder nativ auf #Linux laufen, solange es auf dem alternativen Android läuft" kann schnell in die Sackgasse führen. Wie in diesem Fall und auch früher schon bei #banking apps.

Zumal auch die Zukunft freier Androids keineswegs gesichert ist. #Mobian und #postmarketOS ftw.

Don't rely on RCS!

Unfortunately, #RCS is worse than #SMS. (It used to be worse than #CVS, but that was something completely different.)

#FreeSoftware operating systems can easily support SMS and even #MMS, e.g. with #ModemManager. RCS is completely locked into #BigTech #duopoly Google + Apple and cannot be supported by #Mobian or free Android flavours.

Use #RFC6120 instead. Open, free, #standardised, federated #InstantMessaging for all!

When a #blind user #boots via #grub and accidently does touches a key, they is lost, because there is no way to know about the menu entries. Is there a way to make grub talk? Ideally in #argentina #spanish? If not, is there any workaround to make the system #boot anyway? TIA.

@nprofile1q...

HTTP upload is not client to client, but when *you* have your own server and send me an image, you could know *my* client IP by checking the server logs. If I don't use TOR.

In #Gajim, you can configure:

File Preview

Preview in Public Group Chats

Preview all Image URLs

Btw. @gajim, it would be cool to have a "preview images" setting per MUC. Let's say, I'm in one a cats MUC and in a cooking MUC. I don't want to miss any kitten, but seeing all the food porn is too much.

There is an issue that has driven me nuts for a long time: How to use foo with bar, but under baz instead of the usual quuz. Yes, tricky, but now I found that #tutorial!

However, instead of just having a simple web page with the text (20 kB), there is a long-winded YT #video (10 MB), in which someone just reads the text.

500 times the #carbon footprint, no way to copy text, and much harder to understand. But better to monetarize. Only a #podcast would be worse.
