"the climate emergency risks far more lives than coronavirus. The market cannot solve that problem either, it only makes it worse. So for the good of all humanity, we have to see coronavirus as a wake-up call. The market will not save us."

All eyes on Zoom:

1⃣ Zoom will “probably” strip all tracking and cookies from its website
2⃣ All meetings will require password protection
3⃣ They'll consider open-sourcing Zoom’s code

Promising words. Now hope to see some action.

Anyone within the sound of this toot have any experience running large webinars?
5,000 - 10,000 participants?

I'm looking for best practices, pitfalls when running things that big.

Boosts appreciated.

Someone decomposed the app about Covid-19 situation from russian gov that tracks people movement. It is not limited by that, it sends telemetry using camera and tries to identify you. I think it also can look into your contact list. And the most important part -- it sends this info to russian gov site mos.ru without any encryption and mos.ru is not even using https. I guess there will be hard times for our privacy after coronavirus.

Any recommendations for FOSS weather apps with widgets? I just want my local weather on my home screen.
I was using Dark Sky but looks like they're abandoning Android and I wanted a FOSS alternative anyway.

Compassion is far more contagious and enduring than this illness. Stay strong.
