re: Guilty/Onions (Img text)
Q: What's the kindest thing a stranger has done or said to you?
A: Oh God! I can't even tell this story and not cry.
I used to manage an LGBT bookstore, when bookstores were still a thing. One night, a caller says he thinks he might be gay and is considering self-harm. We were not a crisis center!
But as long as we're talking, he's safe, right?
So I talk to this guy and I answer questions, and I try to be encouraging and I'm maybe sounding a little frantic and I'm definitely ignoring the 4--5 customers in the store, and this angel of a woman puts her hand on my shoulder and asks for the phone.
"My turn, she says".
And SHE, this 50-something lesbian talks to this stranger on the phone. And a LINE FORMS BEHIND HER. Every csutomer in the store knows that call, knows that feeling, and eveyr person takes a turn talking to that man.
That story comforts me so much to this day.

Our #privacy is such a beauty, let's come together and learn how to protect it.
For women, enbies, trans* and inter* people only.
@volt4ire Irritatingly, no one over at Birbsite with the Sopranos quote I use most often:
"Where's my arc?!"
If like me you find yourself struggling in these trying times, know that you‘ll always have a room in my magnificent Elven Castle, waiting for you to get some rest. ✨

Ich freue mich total. Eine #Mobilizon-Instanz für Berlin geht an den Start.
Die Einweihung wird auf einer Kundgebung am 18.6. im Görli zelebriert!
#SharingIsCaring Kommt rum! Das ganze ist draußen mit Maske und Abstand.
Die Kungebung ist in Solidarität mit den Künstler*innen in der Pandemie (die ja in Hartz IV gedrängt werden) und gegen die Geschäftsmodelle der großen Tech-Unternehmen (die unsere Privatsphäre durchdringen).

Please allow me to re-share my rough sketch of some advanced carbon capture technology

In a final step, the user took #SailfishOS X, same as before, and changed just a few lines in /etc/connman/main.conf
(removed all the FallbackTimeservers, Ipv4StatusUrl and Ipv6StatusUrl configuration)…
...and it does not connect *anywhere*.
Completely empty list of external connections.
Thing of #beauty.
2/3
Further results:
- #UbuntuTouch – connections every several minutes to a few Canonical and ubports servers – probably tuneable, but behaving like this out of the box.
- #SailfishOS X – connects to some NTP servers, to ip4.jolla.com (detection of WIFI capture portals) and some AWS server, exchanges a few bytes and stops; repeats the same process after ~12 hours (probably network clock synchronization).
This is even less than #GrapheneOS‘ default connections.
Interesting thread in the #SailfishOS forum where a user set up the following experiment:
They flashed an Xperia X phone with different OSes, left them idle without running any apps and then saw how often and where the OS is connecting to by default (tcpdumps).
Results:
- #Android 8.1 from vendor – an expected catastrophe: within one minute, it „connected everywhere“.
Read on for #UbuntuTouch, #SailfishOS, and #grapheneos

Oh, I just realised NewPipe isn't just for YouTube, also has SoundCloud, media.ccc.de, framatube (peertube?), And Bandcamp. Nice!
I somehow feel like I should have known that...
Huch, lang kein #ZDF mehr gesehen – und auffällig, wie das von der #NoAfD gefeierte, unsägliche Wagenknecht-Zitat ganz persönlich und nachdenklich vorgelesen wird, darunter sanfte Synthies wie beim Heterokuss in Rosamunde Pilcher-Filmen, während die grundsympathischen Wagenknecht-kritischen Tweets arrogant und verächtlich intoniert sind, bei knarzender Thriller-Musik ganz kurz vorm Mord bei Der (weiße) Alte.

So the European Parliament decides to adopt privatized Internet censorship -in the name of opposing "terrorist content- without a fuckin vote.
Any country can ask any company to take down any content in *ONE HOUR* if it is "terrorist content".
Hungary, Poland, will love that. Maybe if you call to burn EU Democracy, you'll be taken down too?
Anyone still believes #EU is relevant? that EU Parliament is "democratic"? That any of this is just and fair?

Oscars 2021 – a mixed bag
• Chloe Zhao first woman of color Best Director winner 🎉
• Black actors only win for supporting roles not leads 😡
• My Octopus Teacher best documentary 🌈
• Ja Ja Ding Dong was robbed 🐳
Interesting news regarding #SailfishOS in this morning's community meeting.
#Jolla is thinking about allowing the community to buy and install the OS's commercial parts (like the Android layer) on top of community ports, e.g. for the #PinePhone or the @Fairphone ).
Maybe that dream of a hackable Linux-based OS on repairable, ethically sourced hardware could finally come true! \o/
Am Ende fordern die paar Doppelpunkte zwischen all dem WebRTC, den libc-Bibliotheken, IOMMU und Third Party Cookies die alten Lesegewohnheiten ja gar nicht mehr so sehr heraus.
Ein paar Türen öffnen würden sie definitiv. 🙂
