Moebius wrote the Edena cycle ("Le Monde d'Edena") in the eighties, and it just struck me how visionary he was in "The Goddess" portraying a society where everybody had to wear protective clothing and a full face mask all the time, to the extent that they called the mask their face. All to protect them from the "nose disease", which sometimes even managed to get through all that protection.

Together with a group of Berlin based artists, students, and event organizers we want to open a Berlin instance of the new federated event platform Mobilizon @mobilizon (part of @fediverse) and get people out of the Facebook Events. We are looking for people to help us with the installation, maintenance, code of conduct etc.

The EU Council is pushing for encryption backdoors to messenger apps such as WhatsApp and Signal to fight terrorism (German article): https://fm4.orf.at/stories/3008930/

Despite the fact that errors of investigation in Austrian authorities had made the attack possible in the first place and not a lack of digital surveillance powers. Politicians must start to understand that more surveillance will not lead to more security. That's why we fight any attempt for an encryption backdoor: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk/

A reminder: Apple does not end-to-end encrypt iCloud data. Apple routinely provides iCloud data to the FBI. Apple encourages you to sync your iMessage store to iCloud, where it is not end-to-end encrypted. https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-fbi-icloud-investigation-seattle-protester-arson-2020-9

things I learned during the years I was a pirate manga translator:
- there's no such thing as faithful translation. all translation is rewriting, some just try to mask it.

- the hard part is not having the skills to read source lang, but to write well in target lang

- and the hardest part of that is keeping character voices clearly distinct, while making dialogue feel natural

- the biggest temptation and the downfall of translators is to explain, to make clearer, to unweird, to homogenise
