@edri the sheer idea of such #Cyberfascist horseshite should get them thrown out of office.
- There is no "legitimate" excuse to violate #privacy and #security of communications.
- Allowing #Zensursula to take on any public office has been a huge mistake!

Microsoft 365 Business starts at $6/user/month. Nextcloud on PikaPods? $5.50/mo total.

You get a full private cloud suite: docs, team chat, email, calendar, and file storage. The big difference is you actually own your data, and you aren't paying per-seat licenses just to collaborate with your team. ☁️🔒

Santander are asking for detailed income and photo ID to "Prevent Crime", apparently. You know, I don't think a master criminal would be doing their nefarious business through the APP of a major bank!! They'd be using Crypto, not BACS! I've only had the account for 14 years, and suddenly they're concerned about my credibility? Santander weren't my first choice when I opened the account, but I was in a hurry (due to "Reasons"). Now I have a bit more time I'm looking for someone with a less intrusive policy to look after my payments.

Friends. I’m looking for a new 2FA app. I’m using Ente, but I’m not sure their integrity is where it should be. I’m not saying it isn’t — I’m saying I’m uncomfortable with some things. And when it comes to 2FA, that’s not a great place to be.

So…what do y’all use?

For #digitalResilience and #privacy, it is a good idea to have the servers direct TLS port for c2c configured to 443/tcp, not the more common 5223. Some well-known servers do that, e.g. #Conversations.

The traditional STARTTLS port for c2c, 5222, should be kept for compatibility with older clients. And because of #nostalgia.

No idea, if that actually would help you, though.

Scanning tech would turn every phone into a surveillance device ⚠️

UK Ministers may claim this is to stop children sharing intimate images.

But it means forcing every adult through a digital ID checkpoint and scanning all private images by default.

Once the infrastructure exists, it will be expanded.

It would award every future government and every tyranny across the globe a mechanism to pre-censor everything anyone does with their phone.

Y’all. I have a curated list of things that bring me joy plus bytes on design, code, accessibility, privacy, useful tools, and antifascism:

You can subscribe via RSS or email. Either to articles or the periodic bytes or both.

Some people like it. Others want to punch me in the face. But not because I’m a nazi. Maybe you’ll fit into the former group. Then we can like each other.
