I'm considering getting a Linnstrument (as I have been for years), and just came across this super freaking awesome comment w/ response by Roger Linn on one of his YouTube videos.

An unprecedented drone attack on Kyiv came just moments after Trump and Putin spoke on the phone...
But they're not in cahoots, eh.
So I had some more thoughts about FOSS sustainability. I've had them for some time. But this weeks issues reminded me of them.

Two of our teams just gave talks at the @passthesaltcon 2025 conference in Lille:
@Xeniax tells the story of "federated messaging" waves and her usable security research, emphasizing "availability" as a key issue

@hpk starts off with prioritizing usable security and walks through #chatmail transport layer security goals and #deltachat end-point security status, upcoming releases and prospective work on improving metadata and other goals
