OMG, #Zoom may have polished their privacy policy a bit amid all the uproar, but it’s still defensive as hell and sharply contrasts to the usual surveillance-capitalist sweet-talk (CapsLock emphasis mine):
“Zoom does use certain standard advertising tools (...) which (...) send personal data to the tool providers, such as Google. This is not a “sale” of your data in the sense that most of us use the word sale. (...) It is important to know that ADVERTISING PROGRAMS HAVE ALWAYS WORKED THIS WAY.”
Finally today, #SailfishOS “Rokua” (EA) arrived, with LUKS encryption of home directory and Nextcloud integration.
Been waiting for this for quite some time!
She's already working on part 2 ("How to avoid domestic violence in
quarantine") and 3 ("Outdoor: What is really permitted?"), so stay tuned!
Wow, one of my comics students just drew and printed this self-help comic:
“1st Aid Kit to fight Covid-19”, part 1: How to go shopping.
It's available in German/English/French, and free to download, copy and distribute where you see fit:
If you can, please consider buying a comic in this time of crisis for publishers and comic shops.
Cool German indie publishers like #Reprodukt, #avantverlag or #JajaVerlag are struggling and continue to suffer losses of about -50%.
In some cities like Berlin, comic and book shops are still open, in other places book shops will be happy to send you whatever you order on the phone.
Thanks for your help! ✏️ 🌈
Actually, arguments in favour of "economy of form" which demand that media such as albums, films, books not "waste the audience's time" buys into the commodification of every aspect of existence by capitalism. Art should not subscribe to this commodification: it should resist it. So fill your novels with as many digressions, your movies with as many lingering shots and unnecessary scenes, your albums with as much filler as you feel like doing. I will be happy to waste that time with you.

¡Saludos a nuestres compañeres en todo el mundo!
Por la crisis del #Coronavirus en este momento estamos ocupando apartamentos vacios en Berlin para ofrecerlos a las personas sin hogar. Juntes y solidaries vamos a superar la crisis - y el capitalismo.

Guess this one of most common questions right now, but still: Can anyone recommend me a #VideoConferencing software, that is #FreeSoftware and works reliably with more than 4 participants? #WebRTC based solutions like #JitsiMeet and #NextcloudTalk sadly appear to be dead ends. 😑
In the past, #Jitsi sometimes worked and sometimes didn't.
Or does anyone have experience with using #NextcloudTalk for group video chats?

@tapaniraja It's actually a header image for my website, so it might be a bit low-res for a wallpaper.
But if you DM me I can send you the file and you can try it out for yourself.
#Berlin tootle, a friend in need is looking for a queer-friendly, Spanish-speaking psychotherapist (English and German would be okay, too).
If you know anything, please DM me, 🔁 welcome.
