EU + encryption + privacy

26 people already signed a petition at the European Parliament against the adoption of an EU Council's resolution to weaken encrypted communications. This is the Council's proposal:
https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-13084-2020-REV-1/en/pdf

Residents in EU member states are invited to support the petition here:

Looking for suggestions for a TODO list app. I mostly need something that gets the job done, has a web interface and an android app.

Because I'll soon move to iOS, if there is an iOS app too, it would be a nice plus.

I just posted a question on Stack Overflow, for a data science side project I'm doing. I'm kinda stuck so if anybody has any insight on this, I would be grateful if you could offer some help! 😊

One of the best talks I have listened to recently:

How to evangelise a new technology/language/stack.

It strongly applies to software, but it can also apply to any tech that you want people to adopt. (eg: Fediverse)

So I read this, and it made me think:

Are there any good/free-ish RSS readers that are also open-source?

Ideally I would want them to be able to sync content between my android phone and the web or desktop app.

#coffeethoughts If mastodon takes over from facebook

#realtalk mastodon will have scaling issues with millions of servers with 100/1000 accounts per server.
It will get to a point where blacklisting becomes so cumbersome that its easier for moderators and server admins to start whitelisting.

Thus comes the decentralized silos of communities. Instead of a single server, each community will be a set of federated servers. (Hopefully not) only talking to each other.

Companies will start setting up their own servers. Creating their own communities dedicated to the companies. Terms of services include dedicated tracking questions. Soon evangelical people are hired to the companies not by resume but by their social life. Live the companies way of life.
