The word on the street is that Peter Thiel and friends wan't it for a tech bro network state, with no regulation on AI (as in LLMs) and other tech fantasies.

Don't have a link, but it's public known that Thiel and friends wan't it, and that they seem to have the man in power in on it.

Be a Orange guy supporter or give in. But that dosen't take away from the now former head doing the right thing, despite the very real chance of getting fired.

Great news with the report on fair use. Fingers crossed that it haves an effect on lawsuits.

Sad about the firing. But good to see that the head of US Copyright Office didn't gave in to preasure, and doing the right thing.

An interesting take. Read somewhere that the reason Trump want's Greenland and Canada is so the US is bigger geographical than Russia. Was said as a semi-joke. But at this point I'm not ruling anything out.

I use posteo.de, and are very happy with it.

Agree 100%. But where I live politicians always seem to focus more on giving tax cuts than maintenance and improving trains. The people should not accept it, but.. Tax cuts!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Good to hear! Didn't know that. Good news.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Agreed. Politicians should prioritize trains and public transport more. And bicycles while we're at it.

The problem with trains is they are public (under)founded. The rich and powerfull with political influence don't want working public transportation because less carsales, oil, gasoline etc.

Which explains why Musk prevented a high speed train in the US with his hyperloop. We all need to buy EV"s which have most of the downsides of traditional cars.

When we could have clean, fast and comfortable public transportation.

EDIT: Spelling.

I work with Open Source, Privacy (GDPR etc.) and cyber- and informationsecurity. Im in.

 

I have an old Google Pixel 2 XL, and would like to get started with Linux on mobile. What Linux OS would you recommend, and why?

 

How do you manage GPG / PGP Keys on android and Linux, and why?

 

I use uBlock Origin and make some changes to the default settings. Have seen recommend configs, but haven't gotten to implement them yet.

What do you do to make Firefox even more privacy respecting and secure?

 

Nice to haves:

  • Phone
  • GPS
  • Possibility for FOSS tracking fx using something like PhoneTrack and Nextcloud
 

I think it would be a nice feature to be able to group fx all "Linux" communities into one group, given the federated nature of Lemmy. Kinda like with RSS feeds to see all news on a specific topic.

Dunno if it's possible or I'm the only one that thinks it would be a great idea?

 

I currently use:

  • Client for sync accross devices
  • TOTP MFA
  • Floccus for bookmarks
  • Phonetrack for phone location
  • News for RSS
  • Contacts backup and sync

And more...

 

I'll start:

  • RSS and blogs, news vs. social media
  • XMPP vs. WhatsApp/FB messenger/Snapchat
  • IRC vs. Matrix, Teams, Discord etc.
  • Forums vs. Social media, Reddit, Lemmy(?)
 

It is battle tested, standardized, widely used, have open source servers and apps, end-to-end encryption (OMEMO), self-hostable and are low on ressources and federated / decentralized.

I use it with family and friends. Conversations and blabber.im on android and Gajim on Linux. There's also apps for windows and Apple.

Curious if anyone here use it and why, why not?

EDIT: Doh. In these Lemmy times I forgot federated. Added.

 

I use CalDav for calendar, contacts and tasks sync and share with the rest of the family.

Server is Nextcloud with WebDav/WebCal/CardDav and DavX5, Etar calendar, native contacts and OpenTasks on android. On Linux WebDav to access and sync Nextcloud files.

How do you use them?

Edit: Added CardDav for contacts.

I use it for news aggregation with Nextcloud news. Also for podcasts and PeerTube channels. Anyone using RSS for other things?

 

I have looked at Nexus, Paperless, Mayian, OpenKM and more. But would like some input. Any experience and pro/cons with the mentioned or others?

 

Currently using: Aeris, BitWarden, VeraCrypt, GPG etc. What are your standard and can't live without privacy/security apps?
