@yarmo @mcol the only glimmer of hope that I saw was that they had a GitHub. While there are many better options, if this is what it takes to convert people to an open source alternative then so be it.

Equally, this intruiges me...

However, the synical side of me wonders how much of this is marketing waffle. Being an optimist isn't something I tend to do.

The military has paused its Twitch stream, after engaging in "plainly unconstitutional" censorship of its chat.

"Participants in these forums have a constitutional right to engage in speech critical of the military," says @iammeekrish at @knightcolumbia nytimes.com/2020/07/22/style/a twitter.com/EFF/status/1285688

@amolith I would love to find a way to do these both at the same time, reading an hour a day and then writing about it or something else as well perhaps? I feel as if this could become something pretty special...

@klardotsh i was all for matrix. what has been bothering me? why make http so hardcoded into the framework that it will be hard to switch or add anything else? why use cloudflare and other cdn? why is matrix so expensive to self-host? it is very demanding. even more than jabber was when jabber got many of these features back in dialup days, when hdd were averaging 40gb. @sir

What does privacy mean to you? 

@zanko@fosstodon.org @amolith put it very neatly:

> Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.

So about that "zero logs" VPN you were using

comparitech.com/blog/vpn-priva

Good reminder that privacy is NOT built on trust. You have to assume that anything they COULD do with your data, they WILL do with your data. The only business you can trust with your privacy is the one that doesn't handle private data in the first place.

This is also why Protonmail is full of shit!
