I am desperately looking for a reliable messenger that leverages federation, is open source and offers good E2E encr. Tried XMPP/OMEMO/Conversations and @matrix /#riot. Both failed (lost messages, devices out of sync etc.)

Thoughts? What are your experiences?

This 6 Minutes long set of questions from Guy Verhofstadt about #privacy for #Zuckerberg are excellent!
Guy understood the complexity and long-term impacts on society by #algorithms we lost control of.

Very disappointed about #Gajim as #xmpp chat app in Linux. It's not reliable with #Conversations on mobile. Any recommendation?

Just learned about AppImage (https://AppImage.org) – Seems like #Docker for desktop #apps. Nice, but not many apps are easy to update according to https://appimage.github.io/apps/

"BlueBorne" – Critical Bluetooth vulnerability disclosed:

Linux Kernel Patch: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e860d2c904d1a9f38a24eb44c9f34b8f915a6ea3

For anyone who does not need bluetooth and has SystemD, just run
"sudo systemctl disable bluetooth.service"
