@gritnot I don't believe so.
Kind of old news now but I came to it a bit late after initially thinking using my #Trezor with my #Monero wallet wasn't possible. This is an inspiring read: https://blog.trezor.io/trezor-model-t-is-fully-integrated-into-the-official-monero-client-b6f9bd31e7f?gi=8e6b22016a3

Project coordinated by Daniel Burka, who is asking the community to spread the word.
@TheKinrar I recently moved from Fedilab to Tusky and prefer it.

Dear #foss developers, you encounter an open source project and feel enticed to check out their community. Discord is mentioned as the only place where the discussions take place.
Your reaction?
A - Great, I already have an account anyway.
B - Ok, I'd be willing to join if the project is interesting enough.
C - Not ok, I will not be part of those discussions.
D - Other (see comment)
Boosts appreciated (research for blog post).
@DeveloperMemes I want to see people walking down the street with these.
@ericbuijs same for me. I tried OrganicMaps and much prefer it now. Better look and feel, gyro works on my LineageOS handset etc. Only annoying thing is you don't seem to be able to set bookmarks as position and destination. And location services sometimes just doesn't work. But then that may just be my phone.

Are you extremely bored - or deeply motivated to improve Codeberg? We have a number of open issues that should be
- ☑️ checked if still valid / reproducible / relevant (feel free to comment your opinion!)
- 🔍 check if already reported upstream
- 📝 be reported upstream if not and
- 🔗 in any case linked with the issue url in the Codeberg issue
If you got some free cycles, have a look at https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues?q=&type=all&sort=&state=open&labels=338%2c-11356%2c-18282&milestone=0&assignee=0 and see if you can assist in cleaning this up!
Thank you.

Facial recognition already stands against fundamental rights and values, but that isn’t stopping people from using it - it’s time the EU made the law clear and banned biometric mass surveillance

My latest novel is Attack Surface, a sequel to my bestselling Little Brother books. @washingtonpost called it "a political cyberthriller, vigorous, bold and savvy about the limits of revolution and resistance."

📣 NEW: TODAY's essential reading on #onlinesafetybill authored by our very own Heather Burns and Sahdya Darr.
Read this blog if you want to know how an increasingly authoritarian Government is planning to silence conversations they don’t want you to hear. Legal migration is at the top of their list.

This is why #crypto matters, and why more services/providers/people need to consider accepting it.

I was also thinking of writing about my adoption of Plausible, and more generally how analytics can be done ethically.
@session Are Session display names anonymous, i.e. no one outside of the session/conversation/group can see it?
