Our founder, Matthias Pfau, has written an article on why we need quantum-secure encryption now.
😀 "At the same time as the development of quantum computers is progressing at an ever faster pace, the encryption must also be updated. Because currently used algorithms are vulnerable and will probably not be able to withstand attacks from quantum computers."

Within hours of the browser maker laying off a quarter of its staff this week, a well-placed source told The Register Moz had signed a three-year agreement with Google. On Thursday, a spokesperson for Mozilla confirmed the partnership had been renewed though declined to go into specific detail on the contract duration and sums of money involved.

Hey @rgggn I'm working on a Android/desktop frontend for the Salut à Toi #XMPP client.

It features e2e encryption (#OMEMO + #OTR), file sharing, remote control, split screens, etc.

It's unfortunately only packaged in Arch at the moment, but I expect to release a new version around the end of September, an updated flatpak should be available then.

You can see some screenshot there for instance:

I wrote about the @PINE64 PinePhone! It's been a lot of fun to play with, and I still have more operating systems to try.
