a german, a russian, an arab and several other nationalities walk into a #berlin bar and get drunk on some brazilian thing because they can in 2020. fascism needs to be pushed back every day. states can be gone in weeks. systems break within months. peace is fragile and precious.

@kattascha Sehr wohltuend und fällt total raus, wenn „comic-mäßig“ mal aufwertend gemeint ist – kommt wohl echt selten vor.
Balsam für die empfindsame #Comiczeichner-Seele ☺️
Sheesh, not *all* of #Moebius' tips to aspiring #comics artists have aged that well in our post-#metoo times:
“Drawing a man is very different from drawing a woman. With males, (...) small imperfections can often add character. Your drawing of a woman, however, must be perfect; a single ill-placed line can dramatically age her or make her seem annoying or ugly. Then, no one buys your comic!”
⬇️ Creepy, creepy 😬

Google and Apple are building contact tracing into Android and iOS, I'm worried:
- Interfaces for government agencies
- "most data" (!) processed locally on the users' devices
Very vague and not verifiable for the user.
My recommendation: Use free Android alternatives like LineageOS!

@tbr @rysiek This is way above my comic artist paygrade, but to my knowledge telepathy-rakia and sofia-sip are 95% ready. SIP is working through the command line without audio routing.
Last sign of life was an invitation to the #SailfishOS community last fall to open the sources via NDAs for everyone who would like to work on the missing 5% to make it run in the UI.
Details here:

@draco Du könntest es auch mal mit Talky.io versuchen, da kann man vorher Mikro und Kamera auswählen.
Personally, I have positive experiences using the #VideoConferencing software #Talky with my comics course.
They say it's for up to 6 people, but everything is going smoothly with 10+ participants from different platforms.
(One of the others is using it on her phone, though, and frequently gets kicked out of the chat.)
I've found it in the recommendations section of the #CryptoParty site.
(Next apocalypse I'll try #NextCloudTalk, though...)
Compare this to this excerpt from “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism” by Shoshana Zuboff:
“...commercial surveillance is (…) an UNPRECEDENTED MARKET FORM, an original solution (...) through which a new asset class is created on the cheap and converted to revenue. Surveillance is the path to profit that overrides “we the people,” taking our decision rights without permission and even when we say “no.”
Jesus, #Zoom, most of _us_ would recommend to own👏 your👏 shit👏 and get over it.
