  Planen #Verkehrsminister einen #Überwachungstarif? "Gedacht ist dabei an einen sogenannten „In/Out-Tarif“. Dabei checken Fahrgäste mit ihrem Mobiltelefon ein und wieder aus." Ich befürchte: - Anonymes Nutzen des #ÖPNV damit nicht möglich? Volle Kontrolle, wer wann wohin fährt? - Zwang zu Android/iOS, kein Chance mit #Mobian oder #Nura? - Weitere Einschränkungen, wenn man Einzelfahrscheine mit #Bargeld kaufen will? Wenn überhaupt, dann teurer? Dabei geht es einfacher und...

  "#Tagesspiegel: Herr Christl, wer unser #Interview mit Ihnen liest, sieht wahrscheinlich die ganze Zeit Werbebanner.

  Did I mention, that #SensorWatchPro is pretty cool? With the totp_lfs_face #complication, I now have #TOTP #2FA on my #wristWatch, and it's not even a #smartwatch. https://www.sensorwatch.net/ Thanks, @joeycastillo@mastodon.social! (I use it only for non-critical logins, because access to the secrets is too easy with physical access to the device. E.g. NOT for #salsa #debian org.)

  You can't make something out of nothing. If your favourite #nonProfit likes to pay their #president almost one million USD per year and around four million USD to Jeff B. you need to get money from somewhere. I do pay far more than 2.99 USD or even 3.49 € for my preferred #chat application 🤷 But at least it's free and federated, does not run on AWS, and does not require Android or iOS. #Jabber #XMPP #digitalSovereignty

  Don't rely on RCS! Unfortunately, #RCS is worse than #SMS. (It used to be worse than #CVS, but that was something completely different.) #FreeSoftware operating systems can easily support SMS and even #MMS, e.g. with #ModemManager. RCS is completely locked into #BigTech #duopoly Google + Apple and cannot be supported by #Mobian or free Android flavours. Use #RFC6120 instead.

  #jabberEl seems to get support for message threads soon. Nice! Not my most wanted feature maybe, but one I will use for sure. Seems, it will be compatible to #Cheogram threads. #Emacs #Jabber #XMPP

  It's my #age? It seems, that I was able to activate #flightMode on my #AGMM11 #dumbphone at some point. But I forgot about it and couldn't find the setting anymore. #FactoryReset was my way to deactivate it. If someone happens to remember how to (de-) activatate #airplaneMode, please advise! Thanks! #help #question #lazyverse

  The latest release of #jabberEl, 0.12.2, is now in #Debian stable #backports! sudo apt install -t trixie-backports elpa-jabber The best #chat client for #Emacs! #Jabber #XMPP

  Today is a bad day for #European #democracy, but a good day to migrate to free and federated #chat services. Such as one, that is around since 1999, and even an IETF standard since 2004. https://joinjabber.org/ https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Quickstart #chatControl #EUpol #Jabber #XMPP

  Has someone #TOTP one their #SensorWatchPro? Does it work well? I think about adding that #complication and reflash… I'm also on the #openHardware chat: xmpp:openhardware@conference.magicbroccoli.de?join #SensorWatch #2FA #watchMaking #dumbWatch #smartWatch #freeSoftware #chronometry #horology #question #help #lazyverse

  Starting the week with a good deed — to myself! Liked to have the latest #jabberEl 0.11.1 on #Debian 13 #trixie stable, so I uploaded it to #backports. Should be installable in a few hours: $ sudo apt install -t trixie-backports elpa-jabber At this point, using #Jabber/#XMPP or other free and federated IMs is the second best thing we can do against #ChatControl in the #EU. The best is to write to our #MEPs before Wednesday. Do both! #privacy #digitalRights #Emacs

  Anyone here with RL experience with #AGMM11 #dumbPhone or #featurePhone? Or, as they market it "rugged #powerBank with #phone capabilities": https://www.agmmobile.com/products/agm-m11-rugged-power-bank-phone/ Important to me: Phone calls, #SMS, #mobileRouter or #travelRouter. Is it OK for the (IMHO low) price? I'm not interested in their #cloudApp stuff and would try to remove or disable that. I would make an exception for #ConverseJS or #Convo (i.e. #Jabber/#XMPP...

  @kuketzblog@social.tchncs.de @reticuleena@digitalcourage.social Mein Problem mit Signal oder Threema ist, daß ich z.B. im Freundeskreis schlecht etwas empfehlen kann, was ich selbst nicht nutze. Die Leute fragen mich dann natürlich, wie sie mich damit erreichen können und meine Antwort ist: Nicht. Das geht derzeit halt nur mit #Jabber (bzw. via Bridges auch IRC, Matrix und SMS) 🤷

  "A 2022 #study found that #children in households that used voice commands with tools like Siri and Alexa became curt when speaking with humans, often calling out “Hey, do X” and expecting #obedience, especially from anyone whose voice resembled the default-#female electronic voices.

  #Question: Which #freeSoftware #inventoryManagement or #assetManagement are people using? Just some lab equipment and similar assets, nothing fancy. Needs support for scan codes (#QRcode).

  @alienghic @ralfix I can probably live with what's there. Not perfect, but OK. A simple NC interface to the most simple git functions would be very cool, but it would be far from trivial.

  Again, a #Nextcloud #question: I need to maintain a directory containing some #LibreOffice files. For editing, we use #Collabora. The directory need to be "versioned" once in a while, think "git commit && git tag", so that we can access that version years later. Need to work in the browser. Command line is taboo. Any idea? Or shall I migreate to #Sharepoint? TIA! #help #lazyverse

  #Question about the #Proton #passwordManager for #MSWindows: Some people claimed, that couldn't access their passwords when there was no internet connection. Which, of course, would be horrible. Imagine, you don't have internet because of a router misconfiguration and your router admin #password is — unaccessible. Is that fixed meanwhile, if it ever was a real problem? Can't check myself, because I don't have MS-Windows. #TIA #help #lazyverse
