Privacy expert Ann Cavoukian resigns as adviser to Sidewalk Labs (Google/Alphabet's "smart city" company)

"she expressed concerns regarding Sidewalk Labs recent digital governance proposals, specifically, the possibility that not all personal data would be de-identified at the source—a concern she said she raised with Sidewalk Labs early last month."

If you're interested in the off-the-grid social network Scuttlebutt, there's a good essay here about it (from a few weeks ago):

https://staltz.com/early-days-in-the-manyverse.html

It's by @staltz , the creator of the Manyverse app for Scuttlebutt, and is nicely honest about the major difficulties of using the network, as well as suggesting possible solutions.

"This is Bi Club. You can't go in unless you can prove you're Bi."

"I don't really know how I can prove that. In fact I sometimes wonder if I'm Bi enough to use that word."

"In you go, Bi friend. Welcome to Bi Club."

The fear of isolation without a replacement platform reaching critical mass has time and time again proven to be unfounded.

Remember MySpace? LiveJournal? Geocities and Angelfire? Yahoo IM/AIM/MSN/ICQ? People jumped ship from those for greener pastures just fine.

We're seeing the same exodus from FB and Twitter to here, despite technical and project management hurdles.

We can absolutely do the same to Discord and Telegram and Slack.

We are looking for more maintainers for specific apps in #FDroid. Here is a list of some that would need some love:

* GNU #Ring
* #VLC
* #Fennec
* #Vespuccio
* #GhostCommander
* #Linphone

If you know how to build software in general, no particular Android experience is required. This can be picked up as you go :)

All of those already have working recipes available but all of them also have quirks that require manual action when updating.

Please get in contact, if you use one of these and are interested!

tomorrow, the sun will be up for less than ten hours

Tomorrow one of my early friends here in Malmö is doing his disputation, together with an exhibit.

The exhibit is about Arduino.

He's one of the founders of Arduino as well.

I'm really excited to attend this tomorrow, but know that I won't have energy enough for joining the party (or money), but that's okay.

hey, happy 2nd birthday #mastodon!
