DeltaChat has a really good app frontend. If it had better group chat discovery, it would be a really serious contender.
@cjd I've never used it, but I've heard great things.
Sup is meant for Pixelfed/Mastodon/Loops users though

I'm trying to solve this problem differently: https://publickey.directory
Key Transparency inverts the responsibility model. It ensures everyone has the same view of the relationships between Actors and Keys at every point in time.
It accomplishes this with an append only data structure.
If anyone is being disciplined or paranoid, and therefore witnessing updates, they can assure the entire protocol is being followed honestly. And most people need to take no action other than use the software normally to be secure.
If power users want to verify fingerprints on top of this, fine, I'm not here to kinkshame.

Cool, where’s the class action suit to join to get my refund for all the tariffs I had to pay since this was enacted?

@tante (1/2) As David Golumbia puts it in his book The Right-Wing Politics of Digital Technology, "More careful attention needs be paid to writers like Jarvis, Shirky, Doctorow and other promoters of 'internet freedom', 'digital liberation', 'liberation technologies,' and 'Twitter revolutions'. These voices tend to allow descriptions of technology to overwhelm and displace discussions of the politics they appear to be describing."
@brembs got it! thank you 🙏
any objections if I share it with richard sever and george o'toole?

Um ihren Dienstwagen auch beim angeblich privaten VIP-Lobbygipfel in Tirol nutzen zu können, ließ Katherina Reiche ihren Chaffeur 1.300 km leer fahren, während sie selbst im Flugzeug anreiste, fand der
@spiegel.de nun heraus. Damit ist klar: Kostenneutral war die private Reise nicht!
Reiche hatte stets beteuert, ihre angeblich rein private Reise habe keinerlei öffentliche Kosten verursacht. Zwar ist es richtig, dass sie den Dienstwagen plus Chaffeur auch privat nutzen darf. Kosten entstehen für einen solchen Trip trotzdem - und sie dürften hier nicht ganz unerheblich sein!
Laut Spiegel nutze Reiche den Dienstwagen für den Weg aus München nach Tirol, obwohl die Gipfel-Veranstalter einen VIP-Shuttleservice eingerichtet hatten. Anschließend flog Reiche im Flugzeug wieder nach Berlin - während der Dienstwagen leer zurückfuhr. Sparsam ist das sicher nicht.
Bei der Befragung vor dem Wirtschaftsausschuss im Bundestag hatte Reiche diese Details verschwiegen. 1/2
Neues von Katherina Reiches angeblich rein privater Teilnahme am exklusiven VIP-Gipfel in Tirol: Der
@spiegel.de
hat heute Details zu den Teilnehmenden und Themen veröffentlicht. Das zeigt einmal mehr: Dieser Gipfel war keine Privatveranstaltung!
Wie Reiche bisher mit Fragen aus Parlament und Öffentlichkeit zu dem Gipfel umgeht, ist absolut unangemessen. Es kann nicht sein, dass eine amtierende Ministerin für sich allein entscheidet, dass ihre Teilnahme an so einem Lobbygipfel "privat" war.
Laut Spiegel nahmen zum Teil milliardenschwere Unternehmer mit klaren Interessen in Reiches Verantwortungsbereich als Ministerin teil, darunter Vertreter von Energieunternehmen und Start-Ups.
Zudem waren Regierungsmitglieder anderer Länder anwesend: der Außenminister Serbiens, der griechische Verteidigungsminister, der albanische Ministerpräsident, der türkische Finanzminister.
Kann ein solches Treffen für eine Bundesministerin rein privat sein? 1/

I've come up with a brilliant new idea for a series of TV and films, called.... Planet Hike. It is not at all like star trek. There is a united coalition of planets that goes exploring and whatnot on a mission of peace, although they have a prime mandate that they're not allowed to get all up in the aliens business. It'll have a totally unique opening monologue. Something like....
Cosmos: the ultimate border. These are the journeys of the spacevessel Endeavour. Its sixty-month assignment: to investigate peculiar unfamiliar celestial bodies, to search out novel existence and hitherto unknown cultural societies, to courageously venture places negative masc-identifiers hath travelled previously!"

12 years ago today, snipers killed 48 unarmed protesters on Instytutska Street in Kyiv. Despite the killings, Yanukovych couldn't quash Euromaidan—he fled the next night, on 21 February 2014.
Russia's response was war. Within days, the Kremlin moved on Crimea. Within weeks, it sent officers and weapons into Donbas. When eight years of proxy war failed to break Ukraine, Putin launched a full-scale invasion.
The Heavenly Hundred were this war's first casualties.
