@strypey as soon as someone somewhere receives a binary w/out source, all they have is trust of those who have eyes on the code which is generally inadequate.

@strypey as RMS says, software that is not distributed is #freesoftware "in the trivial sense" as long as the 4 freedoms are granted to all those who do receive a copy. It's indeed an academic PoV and not too practical. Apparently just to stress that distribution is not a condition of free s/w.

@rms #boycott Amazon, who is spending fortunes on financing facial recognition

@jeffcliff@niu.moe is there a link non-Facebook users can read?

@schestowitz electronicsweekly.com gives a 403 to #tor users. Don't you use tor @schestowitz?

Visa offered $10k to merchants who agree to stop accepting cash. https://hooktube.com/GbECT1J9bXg?t=620 #boycott visa #waroncash

@zorak Citibank and Coca-Cola are also pushing the war on cash. #Boycott Citibank, Coke, and Unilever products

@zorak it was interesting to find that Unilever is behind the #waroncash, so if you buy Lipton tea you are fighting cash & working against #privacy

@strypey and because they didn't embrace the term #FreeSoftware, it enabled the hi-jacking of it for describing gratis proprietary software. University IT departments have a "Free Software" page and when you go there it's junk like MS Office.

Anheuser-Busch has this immigration friendly ad, and yet they are an #ALEC member (thus support xenophobic policy) https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2017/02/02/budweiser-may-have-put-itself-in-the-crosshairs-of-the-next-trump-tweet/?noredirect=on

@paulakreuzer @WeAreFairphone are you excluding the US market?

@WeAreFairphone @paulakreuzer it's still a problem even trying to reach the account creation page. It seems to work when choosing a Tor exit node that's in Europe, but not from New York

@WeAreFairphone @paulakreuzer I can't buy one because the website gives "401 Authorization Required" after clicking "get yours"

@rms we could use a tool that will tell us if any of our mutual funds invest in Japanese coal plants.. otherwise we have no practical way of knowing what to divest in

@torproject part of supporting documentation contributors would be to fix the trac.torproject.org bug tracker so ppl can file bug reports without facing a broken CAPTCHA, which I think has been broken for over a year.

@protonmail Until your #Android app ships outside Google Playstore's #walledgarden of surveillance, it will fail to impress.

Wake me up when the app appears on #fdroid, as Tutanota's app does.

Hushmail.com has burned the bridge between their own users and non-#Hushmail users. hushtools.com is now blocked by a login screen, so key management is out of our hands. The only advantage HM had over @protonmail is now gone.
