@lord @dallin @TheOuterLinux using Cloudflare is not a valid decision. #Libera has falsely posititioned themselves as a venue for the #FOSS community, and yet they push non-free software on users. They've only shifted their own problems onto others instead of actually solving the problem. irc.techrights.org, for example, demonstrates that it's possible to respect privacy on IRC

@lord @TheOuterLinux #Libera uses MS for web hosting & they've jailed their web gateway in #cloudflare. #OFTC forces you to solve a Google #reCAPTCHA (thus #nonfreesoftware) to get a cloak -- & some channels (e.g. #gnucash) force you to register before you have a voice. So bad options all around.

#Debian #Bullseye has scrapped #python2, one casualty of which is the loss of #ocrodjvu, which is the only tool to OCR a #DjVu document. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=945183

As far as I can tell, #Fetchmail v6.4.0 is just a downgrade. People might want to pin an older version.

@bojkotiMalbona @fsf So if I want to attend the #FSF Directory meeting on Friday using a web browser, I must execute non-free javascript as a precondition? That's so fucked up. #hypocrisy noted.

#Debian #Bullseye devs decided for everyone to remove SSL2 & SSL3 support from #openssl. Yes, they decided to play nanny to "protect" people from themselves, when actually they lack wisdom to know SSL isn't only for crypto-- it's also to verify ownership of #onion sites. I hate it when some pretentious self-proclaimed security expert imposes their "protection" on other admins.

@YourAnonRiots Hitting F12 in #TorBrowser to inspect headers & payloads apparently no longer works. Was that removed?

US be like: Let's stop homelessness by making it illegal

@fsf this should be embarrassing for #FSF. Libera.chat uses #Microsoft & #Cloudflare to host their website and web-IRC gateway, and CF forces some to run non-free javascript. Note that the #Freenode web-IRC gateway does not impose non-free #CAPTCHA software.

@kumicota @yogthos @free_appalachia When #Amazon & #Apple destroy perfectly functional (often new) products to block the 2nd hand market from competing with their higher margin 1st hand market products, couldn't that be tried as an anti-competitive practice? Does any state have an #antiTrust law that would cover that?

New Amazon pandemic policy (apparently):

Scavenger hunt included with every order! The driver drops the package somewhere in your neighborhood and sends you a photo. A fun game for the entire family!

@thenewoil Couple good quotes from that article-- a former amazon executive said: "[Amazon] happens to sell products, but they are a data company". The (current?) #Amazon CTO plainly admits: Amazon tries to “collect as much information as possible”.
