Proton joins suit against Apple for predatory practices that harm developers and consumers
proton.me/blog/apple-lawsuit

I find this interesting:
"Proton itself has also been victim of Apple’s censorship. In 2020, Apple threatened to take Proton VPN out of the App Store unless we removed language from our App Store description that said the app could be used to “unblock censored websites.”

Proton · Proton joins suit against Apple for predatory practices that harm developers and consumers | ProtonApple's anti-competitive App Store policies are gouging consumers, enabling censorship, and harming privacy-focused developers. We're joining a lawsuit to restore internet freedom.

Thank you #GitLab, for responding positively to community feedback.

The work item “Support #ActivityPub for GitLab”, which after years of hard-earned progress was abruptly closed “as our current focus isn't in this area”, attracted great clamour from people who want a #federated GitLab.

That item has now been re-opened with a well considered comment.

A hopeful move away from the #WalledGarden and back on track to joining the #Fediverse.

Tutanota — это такой сервис, который вроде как про приватность, но по факту больше про то, чтобы ты ни с кем не мог нормально взаимодействовать. Забудьте про SMTP и IMAP, это слишком небезопасно по их версии реальности. Поэтому подключить почту к своему клиенту? Нет. Сделать рассылку с CRM? Нет. Перенести архив писем на другую платформу? Ну-у-у… теоретически когда-нибудь. Зато внутри своего уютного гетто всё шифруется насмерть, а если вы хотите написать внешнему миру, то собеседник должен пройти квест с паролями и временными ссылками. Очень удобно, да. И да, сервера строго в Германии, потому что если уж быть заложником системы, то хотя бы с немецким паспортом. Tutanota — это не «почта нового поколения», это скорее почта без почты. Без протоколов, без совместимости, без вариантов. Полностью безопасно, потому что полностью изолировано. Лучше сразу голубями, там хотя бы SMTP не нужен.

Continued thread

Now #uutil is going to replace #coreutils ? Not trusting that one bit.

The core utilities of any given #operatingsystem, as well as the kernel, display protocol, etc, etc, etc should NEVER be up to #liberal #licensing like #MIT or #BSD.

For total power to the user, the fundamental technological stack should be #copyleft, because we should have #legal expectations towards vendors.

This is also from the system that brought you #snaps. #canonical wants a #walledgarden and it shows.

I'm perfectly okay with this. If you choose to live in a #WalledGarden, you have to expect that your experience is going to be sub-optimal when compared to the experiences of the outside world. If you think your experience is superior you're either naïve or delusional. #Apple #Pebble #SmartWatch
