@realcaseyrollins @kzimmermann IIRC, one of the #AndrewLee criticisms was privacy related.

@kzimmermann @realcaseyrollins #Libera.chat is using #Microsoft to host their website (https://ipinfo.io/185.199.111.153) and their web-irc gateway uses #Cloudflare's exclusive corporate walled garden, configured to block Tor and push #hCAPTCHA

@lightweight indeed, the activism doesn't get to have full force behind it because activists face giving up the thing they are fighting for in order to push things forward for everyone. So all we have is guerilla warfare tactics.. skirmishes and shots from the sidelines.

@lightweight i'm not satisfied if i can't pull them out of it. And for many i have to give up and move on. If they have no real ties to me and can't adapt to the progressive way forward, then they're just temporary proximity friends who will lose contact with distance.

@lightweight normies put pressure on others to be normies. fuck that. to us they are zombies and our job is to snap them out of it without compromizing ourselves

@davidoclubb @Tutanota @mplammers the other problem with #tutanota: you cannot securely email a non-tuta user who gives you their PGP key, because there is no keyring access or any way to store an outsiders key in your address book.

@mplammers @Tutanota @davidoclubb And if you go for a gratis Tutanota acct, be aware as well that an acct becomes dormant and suspended if not accessed regularly, which means those who were stung by the last upgrade have to do a web login and trust on-the-fly JavaScript (b/c tutanota no longer works with the #ElectronMail app).

@davidoclubb @Tutanota @mplammers just a heas up on Tutanota: they recently updated their mobile app in a way that introduces a dependency on a new version of an underlying library that the app does not include, & #fdroid neglects to notice the compatibility problem thus installs a broken version. So if you switch to #Tutanota you might want to check whether the phone app works 1st & be careful with upgrades.

@hund you have quotes on the rt.hand side of the icon & img assignments, but no quotes around $img. That's backwards. POSIX rules make quoting the RHS of assignments unnecessary but when you use (expand) the variable something like a space will cause multiple tokens. Luckily those vars don't have spaces in this case but you might want to get in the safer habit of quoting var expansions.

@thedeltaflyer i wish there were a practical way to request complaints from all 50 attorney generals nationwide. The way it is now, people only report problems to their own state's AG, so the records are scattered.

@selea @dsfgs if the #fdroid app itself starts disrespecting old phones, at least side-loading is still an option. But it's a shame that even FOSS projects are chasing the shiny at the cost of the environment.

@dsfgs @selea i noticed you're using a dvorak keyboard (from your typo). That's often hard to pull off because so often the J & F keys are made with a unique socket that makes them hard to rearrange. But yeah, i'm with you on the forced chronic upgrading that Android apps often impose & even though fdroid apps tend to be higher quality, respect for compatibility tends to be an exception.

@mplammers i have a gratis acct and have lodged support tickets that were mistinterpreted a few times. I wondered if paying customers experienced the same.

@thedeltaflyer a FOIA request can only have effect on gov. agencies. BBB is an NGO. It wouldn't solve the censorship problem anyway because the effort that a FOIA request entails is more than what a majority of consumers would find worthwhile. Requesting AG records can be useful, but when so few do it there is little motivation for a business to care. Businesses care about what's plainly visible.

@dsfgs @selea In principle I should start a database on which accounts i've nagged about which issues, so i don't get repetitive while not neglecting to say something that needs to be said.

@selea @dsfgs i was going to mention that but i've called out so many #changeDotOrg #petition pushers that i have no way of knowing whether i've already nagged someone about it. I will never sign a Cloudflared petition because I cannot support a /selective democracy/ whereby only ppl willing to compromize privacy get to participate in a democratic process.

It used to disturb me when an online order didn't quote shipping, so I have to commit to an unknown total price. Now when that happens, I'm just happy that I'm able to avoid supporting #Amazon.

@omicron #Twitter imposes #Google recaptcha on ppl, which then hinders disabled ppl from using twitter to tweet to their gov. representatives. So in the US a good lawyer could probably make a 5th amendment / ADA case and go after politicians directly.
