Excited to hear about @signalapp@mastodon.social's "move to support additional features the Signal community has asked for – like addressing that isn’t based on phone numbers". This is a big deal and was one of the main reasons I considered moving to an alternative #messaging #app. https://signal.org/blog/signal-pins/ #Signal #e2ee #encryption #privacy #security

This is just to check in how much interest there is in the following:
Would you like to see Tails to run on mobile phones such as the #PinePhone?
(boost also counts as a yes)

I debated a flat earther once. He stormed off saying he’d walk to the edge of the Earth to prove me wrong.
He'll come around, eventually

What's all this about then - “SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly” Third time I've tried to launch an Electron app and this has happened.

Tails git and issue tracker is about to be migrated to #gitlab (own instance).
Once this is done, contributing to Tails will become easier then ever.
Redmine (Tails current issue tracker) will freeze in this process.

eBay, I hate you.
I'm recreating my #website with #Sass and I may add some small #JavaScript for the theme switch. My thinking is JS itself is fine; but it depends what you choose to use it for. The issue of course is visitors not being able to use this switch while blocking JS with add-ons such as #NoScript and #uBlockOrigin (like myself)... May need to take the safer route with pure #CSS. Suggestions welcome. #darkmode #webdev #design #coding
