Will you use COVID-19 Contact-Tracing Apps when they become widely available?
@duckduckgo has tooted this tweet https://botsin.space/@duckduckgo/104183936248784890
I believe this deserves its own poll.
If you don't mind, please share your reason!
Apparently #Trump's site is hosted on a server which runs a #Tor exit node. You just couldn't write it... https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/23BB12BD68952BFE3D6BF4EFD010DB64D975CB02 #tor
Who else plays #Hackmud? I tried it out about a year ago and really liked it, but then left it alone after getting stuck. I think this is a game I'd probably be more engaged in now I'm learning basic #JavaScript. #programming #hacking #gaming #game #cli #terminal

Signal's https://support.signal.org is running #Google #Analytics... Huh?
@signalapp@mastodon.social I'm getting this error when I try to open 'signal-desktop' (for Debian). Not sure why it's suddenly decided to stop working after most recent update... "The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /opt/Signal/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755. Trace/breakpoint trap" #Signal #privacy #messenger
@nextcloud I'm loving the new version of #Nextcloud #Deck. However, it appears the #markdown for check boxes is no longer supported. Also my (updated) app via #F-Droid fails to sync.

New on 💥 Thought Shrapnel:
Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say

This is quite possibly my favourite person to listen to during this crisis. He's a historian and philosopher who is actively spreading awareness of the threats of surveillance that could come long after the pandemic is over. He's also extremely positive in the way that he looks at the crisis saying that we are more prepared now than ever before.
Watch some of the interviews linked bellow:

RT @eff: We’ve put together a free ebook on digital rights that will help you understand what role technology should and should not play in…
Having done some research, it appears I need a mini-display-port-to-dual-HDMI adapter in order to use both monitors with my Thinkpad.
Current #desk #workspace setup, featuring new #Razer Blackwidow Lite keyboard, but minus second monitor (I only have a VGA port left on my laptop and I'm not sure whether it will work combined with the mini-display-port-to-HDMI currently being used. Suggestions welcome.

Read our report on face recognition, which:
- is often implemented with little oversight or privacy protection
- may lead to faulty systems
- disproportionately impacts people of color
- can implicate innocent people for crimes they didn’t commit https://www.eff.org/wp/law-enforcement-use-face-recognition
