@Gina eh its just polical correctness these days. Its like those "women quotas". Basically forcing people to hire a women for the sake of having more women instead of choosing the best person for the job. If i was a women i would actually be angery about it as it completely ruins the whole point: getting women treated equally to men and the other way around.

@Gina and what was wrong with it was about the government pushing women to work full time, while not considering the fact that some may not even want that.

@Gina Its been like this for about a month now, rip (or RIPv2 for the network geeks among us)

@micahflee interesting, thanks for the feedback, it has put things in a good perspective :).

@micahflee the thing is though, we rent our dedicated servers. Which is different of how secure drop would typically run. So would it still be ethical to provide it as an option, even though its security may be lower then a securedrop from lets the intercept or the guardian. 2/2

@micahflee we aim to help individuals yes. We were considering though whether privacytools.io as an organization might need a secure drop.

You see ww have a fairly trusted reputation in the community, and we often rely on the community to help us keep our recommendations up to date. Providing an securedrop may let people share more stuff with us, which they wouldnt want to make a public github issue for. 1/2

@shebang Qubes os user here, i can feel the power of all the distros at once!

πŸš— I'm involved in organising a hackweek in April for trustroots.org - kind of an open source and free alternative to couchsurfing etc, that came out of the hitchwiki project (so lots of hitchhikers on it...).

πŸ‘­ it kind of represents a bit of a reboot of the project, to get more active team again. and we're keen to make it more community-driven...

❓ feel free to ask me questions!

@micahflee hey @micahflee we are having a discussion whether privacytools.io should provide a securedrop or not. As we currently rent our servers, we are unsure if it would be the right choice to adopt it, would you be willing to give us some input here ? :)

@Piratenpartij wist niet dat jullie tegenwoordig op op mastodon zaten. Netjes!

So what are we currently working on you ask? Well we have a few things you can look out for to roll out over the next months:

-redoing our jurisdiction page.
-giving all our service pages a proper criteria list so you can see why they are listed.
-rolling out our mediawiki page which will include a glossary to explain all technical terms on the main site.

Very excited to make these things happen soon :)

@Gina whats it with bouldering and its tendency to attract guys with manbuns
