#zeitkapsl now supports #HEIC image uploads natively also from non Safari browsers. Quickly drag and drop any HEIC file(s) into our web app.
Due to fingerprinting warnings in Brave browser which caused uploads to fail, we have finally replaced #picajs with #photon. An awesome image processing library written in #rust and supporting #wasm natively:

Thats is of the rare situation where I give a shit of a minority and would force to silence it.
I'm pissed of repeating attacks on fundamental rights of Europe time and time again, no matter which country it came from.
They should all be treated like Le Pen, no more proposals nor electable.
Nessuna maggioranza nel Consiglio dell'UE per la proposta polacca secondo cui ChatControl dovrebbe rimanere volontario e la crittografia sicura #E2EE dovrebbe essere esentata

zeitkapsl just got a slick new scrollbar for iOS v1.8.3 — fly through your memories and jump to any month & year in an instant.
Perfect for finding that one photo from summer ‘18.
Big thank you to @voidstern for making our iOS app every week a bit better :)
I am declaring @matrix semi-bankruptcy
- the only clients worth using are Element X (mobile) and Fractal and NeoChat on Linux desktops (but NeoChat is a bit crash prone and Fractal lacks some features)
- all three of them don't have search
- Element X does not support multiple accounts
- the old Element also does not support multiple accounts and is really laggy on mobile
- my fallback on mobile, FluffyChat, today does not let me login via SSO and the error message is unclear
ergo
- since EMS hosted accounts require SSO and after years Element X still does not support it I canceled my Element One account, after giving them money for years
- since Fedora's Matrix is hosted on EMS too, I will only be fully available when I'm on a laptop / desktop. On my personal phone I am getting by using SchildiChat (a fork) to use the Fedora.im account, but if that breaks too for some reason I'm not sure if I can be bothered to install it again. Getting to the point in my life where I actually care about battery life and not abusing my devices too much
I really want decentralized messaging to work. But I am more hopeful for @delta to get the necessary moderation feature than for Matrix, at this stage.
Handed in our application at @sovtechfund for an open source end to end encrypted image processing SDK
#europeanalternatives #e2ee #degoogle
@luana @java @b #simplex is #FLOSS quantum-resistant #e2ee decentralised (relay network), reportedly easy self-hosting, hosts rooms with thousands of users or just a few, member permissions, custom room permissions and unique to simplex: no user ids, each dm or group it basically creates a new cryptographic id
Encryption Is Not a Crime - Privacy Guides
Contrary to what some policymakers seem to believe, whether naively or maliciously, encryption is not a crime. Anyone asserting encryption is a tool for crime is either painfully misinformed or is attempting to manipulate legislators to gain oppressive power over the people. Encryption is not a crime, encryption is a shield.

I am growing tired of governments who can't seem to understand how encryption works.
You *cannot* both have secure encryption and encryption with a backdoor (or "lawful" access). It's impossible.
The FBI has confirmed it wants “lawful access” to fully encrypted data, which includes end-to-end encrypted messages and iPhone and Android backups.
