@denki I surely hope Germany would stand by any other country going after terrorists who'd wrecked a bloody massacre.

"What a lovely hat. Is it made out of tin foil?" says The International Association for Cryptologic Research in the <noscript> element (https://www.iacr.org/). What a lovely bunch of taunting assholes, here have a cookie.

@alcinnz If you'd ever see me arguing for some universal solution, please, do pinch real tight so I'd wake up from misguided dreaming :).

@TechConnectify That's a bit narrow of a perspective. If availability of polished tools is a hard requirement for you then calls for free software alternatives might be impractical indeed. In the long run though, rooting for free software gives you more agency, so being able to have the tools you want aligns better with free software. @alcinnz

@mntmn You certainly have a point there! I didn't want to discredit your idea for what it is.

Guess that's my knee jerk reaction to hearing of any service being offered. Non tech savvy folks? Can't blame them for picking something that's easy to handle from an off the mill corp sas.

Quite the contrary, I believe it's my responsibility to build things that my parents can use without selling their souls to some shady party.

@mntmn I meant that as a riff on the very word 'service' gaining bad reputation these days.

The empowering that a personal computer affords seem has more emancipatory power than what a service (in a broad sense) can offer. To me, you ever swaying from the former to the latter camp would be deemed an unfavorable tendency.

@mntmn Hosted service, you say, uhm. Should I get wary? ;)
