🤣 Watomatic users have nice designs to their auto-replies. If you're still using WA and want to get rid of it, dragging existing contacts after you, get the app at the toy shop (Play Store) or at my repo: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.parishod.watomatic

"Hey everyone, I think that this thing XYZ is going to be really good for the environment." says Bill Gates, knowing full well that many of his investments are public.

Bill Gates isn't a dumbass. Just because someone publicly advocates for something and then also has money in that doesn't mean they've definitively got some hidden agenda.

It means they've put their money where their mouth is!

However, by happy coincidence, Stux had just set up a hosting company. If you need web hosting, domain names etc please consider using Stuxhost so that Stux can continue working:

The new OnionShare is out!

It adds a bunch of great features like tabs, anonymous chat that never logs anything, and better command line support.

Here's the blog post: https://micahflee.com/2021/02/onionshare-tabs-anonymous-chat-cli/

Download OnionShare 2.3 from: https://onionshare.org

Install it on a headless server:

`pip3 install --user onionshare-cli`

Read the amazing new docs that are translated to a bunch of languages: https://docs.onionshare.org/2.3/en/

Try writing a page or two of your thoughts down first thing in the morning.

HOWTO:

$ mkdir -p ~/src/myproject
$ cd ~/src/myproject
$ git init --bare
$ cd ~
$ git clone ~/src/myproject
$ cd myproject

There, done. Now you have a 100% fully functional git repo that doesn’t require a network connection and supports every single git feature. Pull it, push it, branch it, revert it, whatever: it’s your own repo and you can do whatever you want with it. And you don’t have to sign up for anything or agree to a Terms of Service or share your work or trust a company you dislike.

I can't believe that still only 8 people have signed the petition two days after the announcement.

Who should support this activity against opening the doors for another entryway to surveillance and the end of privacy if not the folks who are constantly waving the privacy flag?

Who will ever again believe in what we preach since ages if we just watch what's happening like unaware bystanders?

Come on, we can read what they want to do and there's a way to fight it. It's not so difficult to do.

Tails 4.16 is scheduled for February 23.

So, so cool! 😍
