The EU is moving forward with #eIDAS despite warnings from over 500 scientists & privacy advocates.
With no requirement that server-side code be released open source, we cannot be sure that our personal data is secure.😱
Thankfully, the #Pirates 🏴☠️ in the EU Parliament did manage to push for an #opensource release of the client-app & the eID will be voluntary.
This isn't over. EU citizens please contact your representatives and demand they respect our #privacy !🥊

Fun fact: if you want to develop #FreeSoftware for #macOS, #Apple has made it so difficult for your users to run it (they have to intentionally bypass several "security" systems) that you are basically forced to pay them $99 a year to "notarize" your code if you want your users to have a good experience and trust your app.
Does this actually improve the security of macOS? No.
Does it make Apple absolute mountains of cash? Yes.
Ok, but what is XMPP?

One year after installing my instance, I am now the technical lead for the project, acting as the CTO of Mastodon gGmbH, recruited a full time devops person, and spending (too much?) time trying to fix everything I can to ensure the project continues to move forward and improve day after day.
What a ride! But it is a very enjoyable one, I am feeling so useful and I am meeting wonderful people 🥰
Let's go for the second year, it can’t get busier, isn’t it? 😃
I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
