Have you seen that lovely new #keyoxide app developed by @Berker yet? Available on @fdroidorg and the other app stores, have a look here mobile.keyoxide.org for the download links!

If you need help setting up your own Keyoxide profile, today's blog post might be a good place to start: blog.keyoxide.org/create-openp…

#AppCinderella: I've just checked "Photo EXIF Toolkit" (2017; apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/a…). On Android 10 it simply crashes (reproducibly) when trying to open an image (while in background trying to access maps.googleapis.com). Can someone confirm this on other Android versions? Functionality (as advertised) sounds pretty useful, but if it doesn't work the description does not help 🙈
in reply to shroob

@shroob I did a quick check and did not see any similar apps in the repos of F-Droid or mine – but I know several apps including the features (e.g. Aves, which I use myself). Maybe I'll send the APK through a security scan as well to see if there are some issues or not before I draw a final conclusion (unless some more reports come in saying "drop it, here are the alternatives". I like small tools concentrating on specific tasks 😉 But source gone and trackers in is no good combination indeed.

#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today with 18 updated and 2 added apps:

* swob: communicate with online services using SMS messaging
* Paperless Mobile: an (almost) fully fledged mobile Paperless client

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with #FDroid and the #IzzySoftRepo :awesome:

Remember the Microsoft Office macro hardening changes for internet documents? I just got it on my corp laptop as it's in O365 semi-annual channel now.

THANK YOU to those at MS who got this over the line, they know who they are. Single biggest change in cybersecurity industry in a decade, IMHO. Yes, attackers have and will evolve - but they should be.

This one cost lots of people political capital, but it was absolutely the right thing to do.

Just saw this video shared by a friend on that other site, it appears someone is working on adding screen reader support to the first Diablo. We live in some very exciting times indeed. youtube.com/watch?v=SdSjSZzhNB…

yes. github.com/matrix-org/synapse/… is the obvious one; also extending servers to block CS API conns from IPs described in a given MSC2313 style blocklist too. Another nice extension would be to let room admins block a user’s IP or CIDR without exposing what their IP actually is (ignoring that you could figure it out by correlating with other known IPs). eg “block alice’s /32” or “block alice’s /24” or even “block alice’s AS” without revealing her IP

@BorrisInABox @freakyfwoof This is something very rough I did with eleven labs but hopefully you find it interesting.
The first in what I hope will be lots of little experiments.

Not only does Elon Musk not have a clue what he’s talking about, but this is *exactly* what he tried to do at PayPal, claiming it needed a full “V2” rewrite of the code when it didn’t.

Instead, it shifted resources away from key areas, caused PayPal to lose much more money to fraud, and eventually got him ousted as CEO.

Last month, I wrote about Elon Musk’s time at PayPal and how he’s repeating his mistakes from that period: disconnect.blog/p/elon-musk-wa…

When y’all argue to abolish copyright so you can use other people’s photos, be aware that you are aren’t sticking it to corporations. You’re mostly sticking it indie artists who barely make rent.

Photographers, on average, make about $18/hr. That’s about half the rate of a high school teacher. Asking them to give up rights to their work is not a great look.

Don't know if you're taking audience questions, but do you feel like the full potential to have a clean-sheet design for this rack-scale computer has been compromised by the need to use hardware virtualization as your unit of computation? Wouldn't it be a cleaner design from bottom to top if you could use OS zones? I remember why you had to give up on LX-branded zones in particular. Just wonder how you feel about the impact of this decision on your value proposition.
