This is a new low, Gogole 😓 ALL f-droid apps get this message now….

I'm searching for resources about code review processes. Feel free to reply with your experiences too. I'm not interested in technical matters right now like how to automate parts of code review or your Opinion about the right size of a pull request. I'm asking about the social process of deciding when to merge. How do you ensure quality and keep development moving ahead without getting dragged down by disagreements? Boosts appreciated.

If you had wanted to watch my 30th anniversary fireside chat with the @EFF but missed it, it's now up online. https://t.co/L8ZzqMYUGm

At first, @matrix was "just" a modern alternative to IRC to talk on GNOME channels for me.

But the more I use it, the more I enjoy it. Having your own instance is really pleasant.

Of course not everyone is a systems administrator, let alone a competent one. There is a real need for small managed instances.

For people insterested, Element offers Element Home, a 10-person managed instance: https://element.io/element-home

Alternatively, Etke offers to manage services for you: https://etke.cc/

@libravatar @ilpianista thanks for that PR, great feeling when people feel passionate enough to contribute 🤗

There had been an earlier libravatar issue and at that moment, I had to put it on hold because of (poor) code design choices I had made 😐

With the Keyoxide 3.0.0 rewrite, this is now feasible. We must give key holders the choice of avatar provider. But I wouldn't mind setting defaults that favor decentralized options!

Just noticed, the current Tor Browser has this option activated as well (at least on my phone) ... can your real IP be revealed by JS when opening a PDF file? ...I'm not an expert here.. just asking 🤔

There's a (german) vid about JS in PDFs at YT with a testing PDF (creates a popup message) mentioned here:

If anyone feels like translating my guide to another language. We have setup a translation system using Transifex. This requires basic GitHub knowledge (and a fork of the project) and a Transifex account. I'm interested in translators and reviewers. Contact me if you're interested. Currently there is one translation going into Russian which could probably use some help.

hmm, I'd like to get off of GitHub because it's owned by Microsoft.

but GitLab is hosted on the Google Cloud, which is hardly an improvement...

SDF does git hosting and offers web pages but I lost my password for my shell account and I dunno if I want to bug them about it since I'm not a paying member.

I thought it had the Model M look and feel to it... but the originals had a single row of function keys.

And then there is the steampunk version

Delighted to announce @EFF will be switching to the DuckDuckGo Smarter Encryption dataset in their HTTPS Everywhere extension!

If you're a user, the update will happen automatically giving you broader protection. You can also get it in our app/extension.
