@nextcloud Hey guys, quick question about your new E2EE for files. You say it's available "in the browser." Will this extend to the official apps as well?

Nate, that's correct: Encryption of files is off by default, both for server-side and end-to-end encryption. When enabled, server-side and E2EE are distinctly different strategies for protecting files, depending on your threat model. Here's a nice breakdown of the differences and how they might apply for you: nextcloud.com/blog/encryption-…

"Elon Musk shared a post on his social network stating that [Mexican billionaire Carlos] Slim could have ties to criminal groups, and five minutes later, ... Slim canceled all business collaborations with Starlink in Latin America, which made Musk lose 7 billion US dollars.

"An hour later, Slim announced that he would transfer his projects for the next 5 years with Starlink, an investment of 22 billion dollars, to companies in China and Europe.

"More than money, Musk lost his main partner in 25 countries...."

I started boycotting Amazon in 2,000 and Walmart in 1990. I go out of my way (and consequently spend more) to shop small and local, insofar as I can.

@Jay Bryant I'm pretty much in your position.


Yes, Nature is completely right that #Trump is assaulting science and that he is swinging a wrecking ball at all publicly funded science:
nature.com/articles/d41586-025…
After all, this is what he and his ilk have been pushing for all along, since 2016: to abolish publicly funded science. Just one example from back then:
“Do we really need government-funded research at all?”
vox.com/science-and-health/201…
There are plenty more. #Science is the antithesis to #fascism, so one of them must go.

SPAM ?

Was ist streamers.social/ für ein Server?

Ich bekomme von daher sehr merkwürdige direkt platzierte Werbeposts "Ich bin XYZ du kannst mich so und so nennen, Ich bin XXY altm, zur Zeit mache ich Dingsbums ... Folge mir, du kannst mich und hier und hier finden"

Der Server selbst zeigt nicht, wer auf diesem Server aktiv ist, oder irgendwelche Posts.

Proof of Concept?



Moving to the right failed big in the last election, so the Democratic party has decided to move even farther to the right.

America is where it is because Americans are stupid.

France showed the way to defeat the far-right: move to the left, so we can only conclude that Democrats are deliberately trying to lose.

Incredible statement from the American Meteorological Organization. It takes a lot for a scientific organization to issue a statement like this:

"U.S. leadership in scientific innovation is at risk due to the recent and ongoing reductions in U.S. federal science capabilities. The consequences to the American people will be large and wide-ranging, including increased vulnerability to hazardous weather...Recent terminations within the government workforce for science are likely to cause irreparable harm and have far-reaching consequences for public safety, economic well-being, and the United States’ global leadership."

R.I.P. James Harrison, Australian hero, whose blood contained a rare antibody used to create medication to protect babies from a rare blood disorder. Having the antibody was just luck. What made him a hero was donating plasma every two weeks without missing one appointment for 60+ years. There's power in just reliably showing up for other people who need what only you can give them.

Nubes digitales: estudio revela el catastrófico impacto ambiental de los centros de datos.

"Debemos exigir mayor responsabilidad a las grandes empresas tecnológicas para evitar la profundización de la actual crisis climática”

Demasiada ingenuidad... 😔

in reply to elMau

@elmau
puede ser una de las luchas, por qué no?

o cuál es la que tú propones?

in reply to Sursiendo

creo, reitero el creo, es que ni siquiera es una forma de lucha, sobre todo cuando escucho a tanto político recomendando precisamente eso, exigir. Pero tal vez algo ha cambiado en 30 años y ahora "exigir" tiene otra fuerza que desconozco, ya estoy viejo y tal vez este todo anacrónico.

Sabiendo lo seria que es su lucha, si me dices el "como", me sumo con tal de restar algo de poder a la #gmafia, sobre todo, los indicadores que nos digan que essta "exigencia" esta funcionando. No tengo nada que recomendar, salvo lo que hacemos cuatro gatos, dejar de usar los servicios de la #gmafia. Pero para mi, es una batalla perdida.

in reply to elMau

@elmau
ah ya... pero como siempre destacas lo que hacen mal otros y otras...
in reply to elMau

@elmau ya... la incidencia política (incluida con las empresas) no es mi lugar de hacer... y sin embrago también creo que la dimensión del tema (y del problema) tiene tantas capas y bifurcaciones que al menos con receptividad todas las estrategias que tiendan a poner límites. Luego me debato en los alcances y las comodidades de algunos haceres de esos. Pero desde el lugar de exigibilidad se ha conseguido detener proyectos, abrir nuevos debates o crecer luchas. Puede sumar...
in reply to la_jes

en mi experiencia no, nunca he visto una lucha lograr algo con la exigibilidad, pero como uno no puede estar en todas las batallas y mi experiencia es sumamente limitada, si me dices que se han logrado cosas así, te creo perfectamente.
in reply to elMau

@elmau @habiaunajes
bueno, a veces pasa, no al 100% como nos gustaría, pero en Brasil se ha avanzado contra las bigtech y su abuso a la privacidad, o en Europa la Reglamento General de Protección de Datos (RGPD)... son años de exigencias desde los movimientos de derechos digitales

Mastodon has a serious spam problem which challenges my use of this platform.

Every day a person is creating new spam accounts to pollute the replies to my posts with Kremlin propaganda. Then when I block these accounts, the person creates new accounts and continues.

It is 13:00 and I have taken down 4 accounts already, and now more will be created.

@Gargron @renchap it is a pattern:
1. Random account created
2. Hits follow on my account
3. Replies with propaganda
4. Is blocked.
5. GOTO 1

in reply to Randahl Fink

You can filter out notifications from accounts created less than 30 days ago. Check the gear menu on the notifications page in the web app or official mobile apps.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

There's a whole bunch of cool controls there. Nice - I didn't know that existed.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

thank you. I have now set it to "filter".

I really wish, Mastodon took advantage of their pattern of following the same political accounts, because I do not think this is normal behavior.

I reckon, normal accounts discover accounts to follow organically. But this spammer creates his account, then immediately hits follow on my account and a few others.

@renchap

in reply to Eugen Rochko

While that is a short-term solution, the rest of us will still see these comments and they have the potential to derail conversation or scare people off.

I hope it's possible to implement some sort of check on account behavior, maybe auto-flagging them for admins. If they display behaviour which isn't human-like and are not marked as a bot account, perhaps.

Just brainstorming here, but it might be worth looking into as mastodon continues to grow.

in reply to Eugen Rochko

This will not work in the long run. They will create "farms" of accounts, foster them for 30 days, and then start the spam attack.
Easy to automate.

Think you’ve got all the tools? This office suite might surprise you! 📄

itsfoss.com/onlyoffice-feature…

in reply to It's FOSS

i love onlyoffice. I prefer it over Libreoffice, though it takes a bit of getting used to having one app that contains every document function
in reply to It's FOSS

I love this. People often complain about MS Office compatibility and no-one knows OnlyOffice which is great for that.

It has a similar interface, has better support for MS Office documents and supports cloud collaboration (yes I know about Collabora but that is in browser only). Unless you're doing something really complex it will do you just fine. I even install it on Windows for people that don't want to pay the subscription.




I'm still waiting to see a movement to make it legal to jailbreak US tech in response to US tariffs, as @pluralistic has been recommending.

"Canada could become a tech export powerhouse, while making everything cheaper for Canadian tech users, while making everything more profitable for anyone who sells media or software in an online store. And – this is the best part – it’s a frontal assault on the largest, most profitable US companies, the companies that are single-handedly keeping the S&P 500 in the black, striking directly at their most profitable lines of business [...]"

Sen. Bernie Sanders, speaking on Sunday's "Meet the Press," argued the cash crunch would end if Congress repealed the Social Security tax cap:

U.S. taxpayers only pay Social Security taxes on the first $176,100 of their annual wages.

He said that means the ultrawealthy like Musk pay the same amount into the program "as a truck driver."
