ā€œIt has been over a year since I cancelled my Cloudflare account. They keep emailing me and haven’t taken me off their marketing lists despite repeated requests. Their CTO told me he would investigate, but nothing changed. Their Data Protection Office hasn’t respond to my requests. Cloudflare do not appear to respect the GDPR.ā€

Are there any @lineageos users trying to use the app? I keep getting this message (paraphrased):
"This app can't run on this phone. This could be because it's a company phone or a similar app is causing interference." Any ideas?

The easiest way to understand #license terms is to begin with why, rather than what. The #GNU licenses have been written by #developers and their lawyers for #application by #developers without any aid or assistance from lawyers, for the purpose of assuring these #freedoms to all their #users, and all #users of modified versions or new #programs ... If a GPL’d #program can be enhanced with proprietary #code...then intentions of developers to protect users’ rights will be frustrated.

#TIL how to connect to #Freenode #IRC channels via a #Matrix client. In my case, #Element.io.

Mind. Blown.

This addresses so many of the drawbacks of IRC while still allowing you to use IRC.

- Multi-device support? Check.
- Retained and synced history across all devices? Check.
- Integrated photo and file sharing? Check.
- No need to maintain your own server or keep your computer on 24/7? Check.
