@nixCraft What’s needed:

1. Up to date software on your device
2. Using only trustworthy browser extensions

When browsing HTTPS sites a VPN shouldn’t even do much, if the HTTPS certificate tells you that it’s all safe and your software is up to date, then it is, the chain of trust is in the certificate system.

VPN also only helps if you use it to connect to a more trustworthy environment than your current one.

Adblockers are not focused on improving security. Don’t install random extensions.

@eff @arstechnica GDPR in EU regulates this (though I think it’s not really fully enforced, but risking a GDPR fine is not something one wants)

Very true words from https://github.com/rspeer/wordfreq/blob/master/SUNSET.md

@mntmn 💯 I prefer informal every day of the week. I can’t really write and read from a script, and winging it for a long presentation can be very hit or miss depending on the energy and inspiration of the day (and stress has quite a negative effect on both)

My favorite setting is the barcamp setting that eg IndieWebCamps have (I guess CCC is similar, haven’t visited yet, but my Flattr colleagues as well as Tim Pritlove spoke well about it back in the day)

@Gargron How come you didn’t leverage the rel-author system that eg. Google+ had in place? See https://mastodon.social/@voxpelli/112718603677990069

@mntmn Sounds like an intriguing possibility – have you talked to Fairphone? Netherlands is not that far from Berlin I'm thinking :)

Would love for Fairphone, MNT and @frameworkcomputer to be cooperating on modular open setups

Eg. the Framework 16 inch uses a similar setup for the keyboard as MNT does I think? With an onboard RPi Pico chip to handle communication and keyboard logic

@pixelfed How about @opencollective? Good for transparency
