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.

Crane and Tree - watercolor & ink

I'm really happy with this and want to do more experiments in this style.

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

Somewhere in Florida, a bag of expensive golf clubs is now floating in a lake.

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

You can evict a house - but you can't evict an idea!

My Day 5 #inktober is a wolf

lawa mi li jo e kon lili pimeja.
My head contains wisps of darkness.

#Inktober day 2 #TokiPona

#inktober 2, wisp. Kind of a departure from the norm for me, no ink, mostly freehand, mostly marker! Not great at environments, good to practice.

Some months ago, Iceland had Covid basically under control.

Meanwhile: 😲

(they use a 14 day incidence, but even with that die 7 day incidence is above 50 / 100.000)

Happy #BiVisibilityDay from your neighbourhood friendly and fierce Bi-derman.

Some bad news for folks who are fans of #uMatrix. It's being archived and no longer being developed :
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uMatrix-issues/issues/291#issuecomment-694988696

Can't say I didn't see this coming since maintaining a plugin, particularly as an open source project, is often a thankless job with many personal down sides

I hope it can still continue, if not as uMatrix, then as something else. I really don't like to fiddle with uBlock Origin to get the same functionality

I don't know how he does it, but Tom Gauld can read minds
