"I am the Youax. I speak for the Noobs. And I will dunk on any #floss project that does not look like last year's hit consumer app."
Seriously, diversity in interfaces is really important right now and using the "man of the people" argument to overgeneralize about FLOSS is problematic. It starts to sound like the conformity that lead us to these monopolies in the first place. "Easy to use" is a fine motivation but universalist design is not without peril. We need avant-garde software too!

Merci à @how, @JulienLecaille et @maiadereva et al. pour faire circuler le meme.
What are the calendar / event oriented #ActivityPub projects out there? #fediverse #federation

Falls ihr mal eine bisschen mehr über den Messenger Matrix lesen wollt, hier ist ein wirklich guter Artikel zu dem Thema
Hmm. Der Dudenverlag leitet alle auf seiner Website nachgeschlagenen Wörter an Facebook - inklusive evtl. vorhandener FB-Cookies, so dass die Anfragen dort personenbezogen ausgewertet werden können.
@switchingsocial There has been an article on that in a German tech magazine just recently. Not so cool, basically.

It's really surprising to me that there are still no non-profit alternatives to Uber and Lyft.
I would love to see somebody start a non-profit org and make an open source app for ride sharing.
The Swiss NGO "Digitale Gesellschaft" offers two DNS resolvers with support for DNS-over-TLS/HTTPS:
DoT: dns.digitale-gesellschaft.ch:853
DoH: https://dns.digitale-gesellschaft.ch/dns-query
There is also a configuration guide for hosting your own resolver:

We discuss client-side DNS security in our Home network security series:
Tilix (the tiling gtk3 terminal emulator) is looking for a new maintainer
@matrix Could you implement redirects to the new site?
The old links to the blog, i.e. https://matrix.org/blog/2018/10/27/this-week-in-matrix-2018-10-26/, are dead now.
Warning: If you don't schedule time for maintenance, your equipment will schedule it for you.
We have some exciting news! The team at Purism are thrilled to announce the launch of Librem One https://librem.one Private and secure email, chat, social and VPN. #LibremOne
Our Primary account is now https://social.librem.one/@purism
@purism @Purism While I'm all for decentralisation and moving away from malicious corporate entities, I don't really like how it's made to seem as if every service on librem.one is something made by Purism. The technical specifications do say what protocol is being used but not the underlying software and I think that's an underhanded way to go about it.
At least say LibremSocial is Mastodon, LibremTunnel is PIA, LibremMail is any old mail server with tight GPG integration & K-9 Mail from Android, and that LibremFiles and Contacts will, I assume, be Nextcloud.
I really don't like people that come along, take a good open source project, rebrand it, and pass it off as their own. Transparency is a good thing and I don't really see any on the front page of https://librem.one
If you were operating this as a non-profit, that would one thing. It's an entirely different matter to be making money from free software without giving credit where credit is due.
Au fait, je ne sais pas si vous saviez... :)
@douginamug Else let's make something happen at home in http://en.hackenow.de/
Hey @douginamug where would I find you mostly these days?
I'd like to run into each other another day again.
Would you feel to come to Berlin around may, or Wurzen's still a thing all the time?
@matrix may it be that https://arewereadyyet.com doesn't do anymore?
