So #Calibre's 'Get Book' feature is awesome. I never tried it before, but have just effortlessly found a DRM-free epub of Lawrence Lessig's 'Free Culture'. Win!
Who wants to feature in the 'Why Privacy Matters' unit I'm working on for my course #DigitalPrivacyEssentials? Just reply to this toot with your 'privacy pitch' - how you would explain to someone that #privacy matters. Any responses used will be anonymised and I will let you know if you're featured. Thanks! #elearning #foss #Moodle #Adapt
I keep going to contribute to the documentation of projects I care about on @gitlab, e.g. @nextcloud, and noticing a #GitHub account is required. Why is there still so much reliance on GitHub for repos on GitLab? Can anyone recommend #FOSS projects to contribute to on #GitLab? I was pleased to notice @lineageos is on there... #git #opensource #privacy #security #software #programming

Chronostasis
"A common occurrence of this illusion is known as the stopped-clock illusion, where the second hand of an analog clock appears to stay still for longer than normal when looking at it for the first time."
I've heard of that phenomenon before, but I didn't know there's even a term for it.

How many of us would it take to publicly persuade Mozilla to ditch #Google Analytics on their website?
They are on Twitter https://mobile.twitter.com/mozilla and https://www.instagram.com/mozilla/

It's #FF and more than anything we would like to thank everyone that is engaged in the discussion about privacy and information security - especially during the #COVID19 situation.
Stepping outside of our personal bubbles to create meaningful conversations with family, friends and colleagues on every possible platform or situation will help our cause.
Please share accounts / URLs for those dedicated to privacy.

This pandemic means a lot of people are now having to choose appropriate communication tools, but it's a minefield out there. Understandably the right choice is unclear for many without the patience or experience. This is why we the community, knowing everyone needs privacy and security, must help family and friends utilise those tools we all know and love, software which puts people before profit. #Privacy and #security education is essential in these strange times. #FOSS #encryption

dt.gl - Life during #lockdowns - Part 12 - Privacy/Messenger Dilemma
Today, I want to provide a brief summary on one area of key concern for the #privacy minded, the #Messenger Dilemma. Since we started the reviews in 2016, we have seen Signal become a powerhouse in the privacy space with endorsements from Edward #Snowden amongst others.. "I use Signal every day." https://dt.gl/the-privacy-messengers-dilemma/
