hacker of matrix.org is giving a lesson on #infosec, through github issues at #matrix repo.
(thought server is compromised not the software)

I hoped they warned them befor doing.
If they did, and #matrix kept ignoring it, that's definatly a way to teach someone a lesson.

I wonder how it feels being a cat and being able to use the internent.

What would they think of all the cat pictures that are passed around?

"In the week that the UK experienced its hottest ever winter day, just a handful of government MPs attended a debate on climate change in parliament on Thursday. "

#climatechange

meanwhile the gov. responses to schoolchildren and other students going to strike for a future, "truancy".

@aral
same counts for @fairphone since they ship their phones with mass survailience intecreated rather then #lineageOS or similiar.
their argument was that most people want and use #google and by adopting google nativly into their phone they can reach more people.

Meanwhile: my mom has no idea about tech and also no interest in. She has some enviormental motivations. So she bought the #fairphone. Now she sticks to google, not because she wanted it more, but because it was already installed...and now it's a habit.

What they could do instead:
offering google and lineage. having a good visable disclaimer on the google offer about them being a root kit leaving you no control over your phone.
By doing so I believe they could increase their outreach, especially since their is an increasing interest in service that respects private data.

#PavelDurov the founder of #vkontakte and #telegram is lying about their software.

Pavel states that telegram is opensource, while it's actually *not*.

It's such an open and shameless lie, that one should ask, where else does he lie to me?

''In 2005, Pavel completed his training at the Faculty of Military Studies of St. Petersburg State University with a specialization in Propaganda and Psychological Warfare. While training with the Faculty of Military Studies, he served as Platoon Commander of the Philology Department. Upon completion, he was awarded the title of Lieutenant of the Reserve Force. Immediately after graduating in 2006, Pavel created the social network Vkontakte.ru''

Hello fediverse,
what would you think about #hambibleibt starts to switch from surveillance capitalist proprietary centralistic platforms such as #facebook and #twitter to an self organized federated alternative such as the fediverse?
Would anyone be interested in building up a campaign that connects both struggles?
#hambibleibt got mainstream attention (in germany) and international attention.

@bjoern
here's the sum up of their feedback:

they where confused as you where about. it's a bug. It showed randomly a picture, that shouldn't have been showed. It's going to be fixed. #movim

here's their respond in full lenghs:

should I read something that is shared via #medium?

no, because:

''To make Medium work, we log user data and share it with processors. To use Medium, you must agree to our Privacy Policy.''

pls leave stop giving support to those venture capitalist @Gargron

What to do if you see antisocial benchs that are supposed to don't let people lay down to rest in order to increase gentrification?
