Facebook has just bought giphy.com for $400m.
A website which hosts free gifs. Valued at four-hundred million dollars. And the majority of those gifs come from media created by costumers/writers/mic operators/camera techs etc. who don't see the value they create normally, let alone in hyper-inflated purchases like this.
How does this make any sense? It doesn't.

Would you like to see #I2P being reintroduced to Tails?
issue tracker about it:
https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/12264
What is @i2p?
It "is an anonymous network layer that allows for censorship-resistant, peer to peer communication. Anonymous connections are achieved by encrypting the user's traffic, and sending it through a volunteer-run network... distributed around the world
Why was it removed from Tails?
"due to our failure of finding someone interested in
maintaining it in Tails"
Now this is a cool project for those who need a colour pallet.
I'm loving it so far!

People often ask how we make money, so…
When you use our private search engine, you sometimes get contextual ads based on a results page and not on any history/profile info (which we don’t have).
It's a myth that you cannot be profitable AND private.

Universities are afraid that students will cheat...
→ So, they're watching the students
→ So, the students are stressed from being watched
In the end, no one is satisfied. Surveillance is not the solution to all problems.

Protecting yourself from "Zoombombing" boils down to two things: controlling who can enter your meeting, and keeping your meeting ID private. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/04/harden-your-zoom-settings-protect-your-privacy-and-avoid-trolls
