Yerba Mansa glade, somewhere in the Middle Rio Grande Bosque.

Big things happening at #QOTO I wanted to update everyone on.

So as most of you know I had a year long back injury that put a lot of QOTO plans on hold. But I've been healed and working on bringing much of that vision to reality.

As of a few weeks ago a few close friends and fellow engineers wanted to join the team. I am currently sitting with 3 other new engineers and we are working on bringing up several instances including peertube, nextcloud, gitlab, discourse, and of course a newer version of QOTO. A full collaboration suite for others in STEM and the open-source community. All for free to its users.

This launch will coincide with several of my other projects many of you follow including protowaffle, ROES, Graphactor, Aparapi, Ferma and many others. We will host all the source on QOTO as well as make it the source for future software announcements related to those products.

Stay tuned for me.

"U.S. attorney general William Barr has said consumers should accept the risks that encryption backdoors pose to their personal cybersecurity to ensure law enforcement can access encrypted communications." 🙄 https://techcrunch.com/2019/07/23/william-barr-consumers-security-risks-backdoors/

Die neue Höchstmarke beträgt 40,5 Grad: So heiß war es in den Städten Geilenkirchen und Bonn im Westen Deutschlands. Der neue Hitzerekord könnte aber bald durch noch höhere Temperaturen abgelöst werden. www.dw.com/de/städte-in-deuts… #Hitze #Hitzewelle #Hitzerekord #Klimawandel #Wetter #Klimaschutz

@TheGnuMaster Being unable to tolerate opinions that oppose yours/differ from yours is a sign of emotional underdevelopment.

Angesichts der anhaltenden Proteste in Hongkong fragen sich die Einwohner, ob Peking als letztes Mittel die Armee einsetzen wird. Beobachter glauben jedoch, dass dafür der Preis zu hoch wäre - bislang. www.dw.com/de/peking-schließt… #China #Hongkong #Demonstration

@TheGnuMaster You assume that these people who want to lock others out could challenge competing ideas. The entire reason they do it is because their own ideas are being challenged in ways that they cannot reconcile. They don't follow the "sunlight is the best disinfectant, challenge ideas you disagree with" mantra because sunlight will disinfect us from their own ideas.

US Attorney General William Barr wants encryption backdoors, completely ignoring the facts: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/23/us_encryption_backdoor/

This meme is always posted - and it's correct. The issue is you should be the one who chooses to "shut the door"

A lot of people have their entire instance blocked simply because 1 person in it dissagreed with another person.

This is like if someone called your phone, called you a stupid head and instead of hanging up you called the phone company to demand ALL phone numbers with your area code can't be contacted by ALL people in his area code - that be removing choice from thousands of people... which is what instance blocking basically is

Office 365 declared illegal for German schools. Time to build an encrypted Groupware Suite. 😉

No matter which social network you're on, following a diverse group of people helps you taking a peek at the other side of your personal filter bubble.

You don't have to agree with everything and everyone, but please, at least try to listen to people and their opinions.

It will help you appreciate your own life, and may just make you a little wiser.
