Two figures to ponder.
First: if your local power company is privately owned, you've seen energy rate hikes at *49% above inflation* over the last three years.
Second: if your local power company is *publicly* owned, you've seen energy rates go up at *44% below inflation* over the same period.

The UK's Investigatory Powers Act has way too much power. By forcing Apple to remove its encryption for UK users, it threatens the #privacy of everyone.
We at Tuta would never build a backdoor - and our #opensource code is proof of that.

UK demands Apple to backdoor encryption similar to what the FBI asked ten years ago. Will Apple stay strong?Tuta
If you use a curl built with GnuTLS (debian sid, for example), specifying --ciphers now does nothing.
But some people have need of that option to work. Here you can chime in on how it should be supported:

Some people migrating from curl+openssl to a curl+gnutls notice that their --ciphers arguments simply are ignored. First, this is documented and not a bug. Fine. But some of these users have a need...GitHub

🚀 We’ve just published a new blog post covering the latest updates in #NewPipe version 0.27.5 and 0.27.6, which ensure YouTube videos keep running smoothly. Additionally, we’re sharing an update on the ongoing app rewrite and giving a first look at the components that have been changed so far.
Learn more on how you can contribute to the rewrite of NewPipe and check out the blog post for more details:

Elon Musk’s AI wasn’t allowed to say that Elon and Trump spread misinformation.
When this came to light, they blamed it on a new employee (do they really think anyone will buy that? new employee has that much power?)
But sure, great idea to trust and use the Twitter “truth-seeking” algorithm 🙃
Yesterday, a woman was assaulted and kidnapped / detained by three men who refused to identify themselves for speaking during a Kootenai County Republican Central Committee town hall and pointing out that town halls are supposed to feature citizen comment. The men who detained her were not wearing any badges or security labels/company logos. They were carrying zip ties on them, and were handing out religious Christo-fash pamphlets. Some of the material they were passing out was titled “prayer guide for state legislators - make America righteous again”
The woman illegally detained is Teresa Borrenpohl. Other people (all democrats, according to local media) who tried to help were also detained. Additional footage displays an off duty officer attempting to remove her before the men in black did. He threatened to use force against her and threatened anyone who was filming.
The town hall took place at a high school in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Local Idaho media claims that her violent removal was initiated by County Sheriff Bob Norris before involving LEAR Asset management, a private security firm with alleged ties to sheriff Norris.

Ayer en el #SHDH comenzé (y luego en mi casa terminé) la segunda revisión de mi cartera. En esta revisión corrijo un error de diseño que corregí en el original que no tenía dónde poner las tarjetas, entonces se me caían o revolvían si no la abría con cuidado.
Esta también está más bonita, siento yo.

A year ago the third #curl security audit completed, that time covering our HTTP/3 implementation.
It revealed **no** major discoveries or security problems.

Ugh, I can't seem to use the Discord inbox at all under Linux. That's going to be kind of a big deal.
Filed this a while back but was hoping it was either a Chromium or Electron issue. Seems to happen in Firefox as well.
Going to still try daily driving Linux this week but if I can't use the Discord inbox then that's going to hurt. Real shame Element/Matrix isn't a compelling accessible alternative yet.

@Tutanota Hey - I tried to sign up, but failed, I assume because I'm using a VPN.
For a security focused email provider, this is off putting. It also makes me worried that even if I manage to sign up, future access may require to have my VPN off, which is not going to happen.
Is this something you are aware of? Any plans to address it? Searching a bit brings up a lot of results discussing this issue, but no FAQ from you.

in reply to Seldon • • •@Seldon This is not planned right now. No one could proof that the open sourced code would actually be running when you access Tuta... Nevertheless, we plan to enable you to self-host Tuta Mail, and for this, open sourcing the server code will make sense. This will be a small server, which can run locally.
Note,, all the encryption takes place locally on your device (end-to-end encryption) so our servers don't see your encrypted emails and can't read your data.

in reply to Tuta • • •Just like Linus (LTT) said, Apple could have just stopped working in UK territory, people would fight back against UK's government, pushing them to revert back the law and get Apple back. But Apple has no backbone and cares only about money, unlike Tuta.
