Questions to #Tails supporter and potential supporter that like to donate:

1. Which issues did you came across, that could solve if we change something?
2. Could you imagine to become a regular supporter, if we would change something about the donation process? What is hindering you, that we could improve?
3. Do you prefer regular or one time donations?

Remember:
#Tails, The Amnesic Incognito Live System is #freesoftware.

You can download, use, and share it with no restrictions. Forever!

When a whistleblower is punished, you know the ones in government are not really serving you, but themselves.

It's "World Password Day" - which is an excellent day to remind you to use an encrypted password manager. Literally any of them are better than not using one.

Why use one? It allows you to create unique complex usernames and passwords that are forgettable.

This increases your information security.

Our manager of choice is #KeePassXC - it's easy to use, syncs really well across any cloud service and is loaded with features and a browser extension.

The NHS Contact tracing Client App (not the server) source code is now available.

It would be nice to see if someone can build it and compare to the binaries, is that possible?

MIT licenses so I suppose someone could build it on the Apple / Google decentralised framework.

Looking for a good social proof solution following Keybase's acquisition this morning? Check out @wiktor's decentralized solution built on PGP! https://metacode.biz/openpgp/proofs I'm setting my key up now 😄

If you are concerned with #zoom''s acquisition of #keybase, knowing zooms bad track of dealing with privacy, you have good reasons to do.

If you choose to delete your keybase, account and you’ve got some #stellar coins left inside that you prefer to gift away instead of deleting or knowing it will be for zooms profit, know that we do have a stellar address you can donate to.

Some universities are imposing #MicrosoftTeams in the drive toward online schooling. This despicable move forces students to patronize #Microsoft, support #surveillancecapitalism, & it excludes #linux users.

So o finished making my sonos- like speaker project using http://moodeaudio.org/ , a raspberry pi and a hifiberry amp2.

I found it to sound the best of all the similar projects and be less bloated in the UI .

Really happy with the look !!!!
