I am really interested to see how Zoom's announcement they won't offer E2EE to free users because they want to be able to work with the FBI, etc will affect Keybase which offers E2EE to all users.

If their new CEO wants to work with the feds, how can we trust them at all?

"why does every peaceful protest turn violent when the cops show up" is one of those questions where I am still stunned some people have trouble connecting the dots on the "when the cops show up" part

I like such pranks cause I’m a nomster

Don't.
Use.
#Zoom.
Just.
Don't.

“Free users for sure we don’t want to give that [end-to-end encryption] because we also want to work together with FBI, with local law enforcement in case some people use Zoom for a bad purpose” - Eric Yuan, CEO.

here's some pay-what-you-want drawings ready to be posted to whoever wants them.

minimum price is the post-tariff (around 1 dollar if you're in latin america, 2-3 dollars if you're anywhere else).

(se você estiver no brasil me avisa que eu calculo o valor aqui!)

the one to the right is claimed already and the middle one MIGHT be claimed, but if you want it i can put on in line in case the person gives up ;)

Here’s what went down with Plausible Analytics in May:

🚀 Now much faster and can handle more load

🙌 Reduced the size of our tracking script by more than 50%

🔨 Good progress on an easy self-hosted solution. We plan to release the alpha version this month

💵 MRR: $1,085: We blew past $1k MRR. Huge month for revenue growth

👩 26k visitors (-59%): Traffic couldn’t match April when we hit the front page of Hacker news. Still, 26k visitors is very strong.

Out of all the things Google does to violate the privacy of internet users, they're now in a $5bn lawsuit because sites can track visitors using Google Analytics while the visitor is using Chrome browser Incognito mode 🤯

You know what would be sweet is something like https://uses.tech/ but for people on FOSS & Linux.

It could show your distro of choice, DE, commonly used software, and additional FOSS system use like LineageOS or UBPorts on a phone.

#matrix peer-to-peer style! Need to try this out

My kids love a game called Roblox. "Unfortunately" it just doesn't work on Linux. Oh no!

We would like to help connect #FOSS projects.

If you are an official[^1] FOSS project account with community spirit, or want to suggest one, please @ us :)

The idea is to feature other awesome FOSS projects on our account. /sh
