(#zbsrabq) @prologic I see: I was speaking in the end user's perspective tho, I suppose those concerns only really affect the pod owner? And, if that is the case, giving a pod owner the ability to toggle AP integration on/off us probably good enough to mitigate those concerns?

2022 is about to end, and there are still official services that send SMS texts to people telling them to follow links to . Educating people against phishing gets hard, when services' customers are educated like this...

BC appeals court handed down a stupid, terrible decision, rejecting whistleblower Linkletter's defense for linking to freely available materials from the ed-tech surveillance giant Proctorio

One of the things that attracts me about the "twtxt social network" is how radically decentralized it is. Not only each user is its own node (maintaining its own text file feed), there's no limits to the protocols used to access each feed. Sure, most of the feeds are probably being served over http or https, but there are feeds being served over gopher, and I bet some of them over ftp/ftps. But it doesn't have to be that way - feeds can be distributed in any modern equivalent to the sneakernet, you can save yours in a usb stick or a floppy disk, hand it over by hand or send it via postal mail; you can distributed them on a mailing list, on the usernet... The limit is your imagination. This reflection made me realize that there's no reason to wait for secushare, twtxt feeds can already be used, shared, maintained and spread on GNUnet, taking this social media platform to the GNU Internet.

I decided to publish (and maintain) a very brief timeline of the climate crisis, mostly for my own sake.

Pedro Nuno Santos a dizer que em qualquer empresa do mundo se comunica de diversar formas, incluindo via whatsapp. A AP está mesmo a precisar daqueles formações chapa 5 sobre segurança e privacidade de dados. Não, não é normal (ou aceitável) o uso de whatsapp (ou qq outra ferramenta não formalmente escolhida para o efeito de comunicação interna) para coisas destas.
