What is honesty worth to you?

This year I decided that I'll spend 60€ per year on @fdroidorg, because it's the honest appstore for me. They build the apps themselves, making sure, no hidden trackers are included. And they provide a list of so-called "anti-features" at the bottom of the description of each app that warns you about potential problems.

This takes away all "Is this a surveilence app?"-questions when browsing for apps. It's awesome, thank you.

Zoom told off for adverting its service as being end to end encrypted when it was not. Told to up its game.

#introduction

Hi all. I'm a musician and recent Linux audio convert, currently working on new material (after a long hiatus). I'm also developing/self-hosting my first website (more on that soon), attempting vegetarianism, collecting a private cache of unpublished philosophical essays, trying to turn a somewhat idiosyncratic narrative theory into a practical screen writing system, obsessively researching transitory fascinations, and forgetting to meditate.

Hit me up if this resonates.

Two lasses in #Middlesborough, NE England ended up fighting in the egg aisle of Tesco during the Remembrance Day silence.

The fight had to be broken up by Cleveland Police - such bird-brained behaviour could possibly land the pair before the beak 😆

So I currently have enough money now to buy a new laptop. I don’t believe in buying new things unnecessarily either. Do you have a 13 inch or smaller laptop that will run Linux well and still have usable battery life that you want to sell me?! Please boost! Would love to buy a laptop from the fediverse.

The developers of Signal are currently doing a user survey:

https://surveys.signalusers.org/s3

I told them that I really like the app but also that I would like:
a) Signal on @fdroidorg
b) a proper desktop client
c) no data stored in "secure enclaves"

Maybe you'd like to tell them, too?
