For those forced to use Slack, I found this helpful open-source Firefox WebExtension called “Don’t slack-redir links” which “prevents Slack from replacing links with slack-redir.net, while still protecting privacy (against referrer leakage).”

@mister_monster Yeah, me too. I've been using mullvad over year, it would be such waste if they didn't do that properly

@mister_monster @jonah
Okay, that doesn't make sence now that I think about it, they need your public key in clear to make connection. I guess there is some workaround, I don't think they store private keys in plaintext eitherway. They let you create your own private/public key pair on router configs,and they never ask for private key. So I guess in the ens there is some good explanation for this

@mister_monster
Only way to know how its all done in backend, maybe whole key generation process thing is encrypted using your account number, meaning that Mullvad doesn't even know your public keys, just their hashes, same with private keys

A special Numberphile #video on the mathematical modelling of #Covid19, using the so-called SIR Model. Once again Ben Sparks shows off Geogebra's capabilities.

Also good to see them practising physical distancing!

LaTeX code to markdown or any sites where I can host .tex file with some images? I've tried pandoc but it doesn't do very well

I like the angryness behind this, this message to Chrome devs is gold

@kravietz There was greentext on how corona virus started, something like:
> be chinese
> undercook bat
> started coughing
> my family and friends started coughing
> mfw I started pandemic

People around me speak about some wild conspiracy theories, I just believe that that greentext has more truth

Online gaming isn't problem for high internet traffic because online gaming usage is 20-250 mb usage per hour. Netflix and other streaming services consume 10 times more

Haven't seen in a while YouTube add, it passes through UBlockOrigin??? Anyone see them too?

Ad corps and big data vendors shouldn't profit off of other people self-isolating. Stop pandemic profiteering.

(links below)

1. install uBlock origin in your web browser (On mobile just use Firefox so you can use the addon)
2. Enable the anti-adblock list in ublock origin from nano defender (tutorial linked)
3. Add the I don't care about cookies list (link below their addons on their page)

(also I trust that alternative adblock users who use a built in system on more niche browsers like basilisk or falkon know how to add adblock filters yourselves 😉)

Governments already use global pandemic as excuse for monitoring citizens. President of my country said on national television that they will be tracking location of people that have Italian numbers (lots of people from Serbia work in Italy). Time to educate some of my friends

I just made a 1000€ #donation to #Framasoft.

They offer #FreeSoftware solutions without #SurveillanceCapitalism for just about everything.

Since the #SocialDistancing started I made two videocalls with their #Jitsi instance and that saved me from feeling completely isolated. Unfortunately free telecommunication services are completely overloaded atm, but that's why it's so important to #DonateToFreeSoftware projects, especially right now.

Thanks @Framasoft ❤️
