FOSS XMPP client "Conversations" was updated to version 2.16.7. This update added a timeout to call initiation. The code is licensed using GPLv3.0. Conversations is a privacy friendly alternative to SMS. It's available for Android on F-Droid. It allows for end-to-end encryption with OMEMO or OpenPGP, has the ability to send and receive images, make encrypted audio and video calls, and more.
The main website for the project is here:

Poking around with NoteCards I ran across this bitmap editor which comes with its library. Here Medley Interlisp is running on my Linux Mint system.
"What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.
Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism.
Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance."

Thanks to support from @NGIZero and @calyxos, I was able to improve Seedvault's app backup. Taking inspiration from @restic and @borgbackup 2, backups now use de-duplication, compression and chunking - resulting in smaller and faster backups. Snapshots allow you to restore previous states of your device. Available on free Androids soon.

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.
