Kudos to @QOTO (@freemo) for their great work 🌟

@tripu FYI did you know QOTO has its own Matrix server now? Open registration for all: https://element.qoto.org @eff

“It may surprise you to learn that only could be the default until late last year. It may further disorient you to know that competing iOS browser vendors are still prevented from delivering their own engines.”

@gasull

That’s a good idea, thanks!

The problem is, I tend to use lots of resources when I write anything (dictionaries, Wikipedia, my own public posts or private notes…). It’d be difficult for me to say anything of substance about these books from memory, without writing a polished script first… But it might work, to some extent!

@tripu This is an important matter that it's worth going to war for.

If, like me, you were frustrated by the @eff’s Secure Messaging Scorecard being outdated for years now, go check Mark Williams’s Secure Messaging Apps Comparison — it’s a great resource.

My only objection: I would boost (ie, , ) and fully recommend it, and penalise and discard it, based on their respective results under the section “are the and server completely ?” — I think that’s paramount!

TL;DR: use (it’s the best and most user-friendly); if not possible for whatever reason, resort to apps as 2nd best.

Too bad I can’t fit anything like that in my schedule any time soon… 😞

If I had the time, I would love to write and produce a very personal about .

I’ve been on a mission, for a few years now, to read the top twenty or so most important, most influential works of world . Fiction top ten, plus non-fiction top ten. Because the meta-ranking I use as a reference updates regularly with new rankings published and with slight improvements to the algorithm, in going through the list I’m actually getting closer to reading the top forty books.

Each (short) episode would focus on one book: I would share my review, read some passages I highlighted, and my explain why the book is (or isn’t) that important and how it affected me personally.

Thoughts?

@aperalesf Muchas gracias por compartir tus averiguaciones. Yo tengo pendiente des-googlizar mi móvil y una tableta vieja.

if you spend more time watching it, reading about it, or commenting it — than doing and enjoying it yourself — look inwards and seek help.

But not when the cost of hardware, software and power is zero — then performance is positive infinite :ablobtonguewink:

Columbus didn’t think the earth was round, he thought it was pear shaped like a titty with a nipple and all…

I found it (the world) was not round . . . but pear shaped, round where it has a nipple, for there it is taller, or as if one had a round ball and, on one side, it should be like a woman’s breast, and this nipple part is the highest and closest to Heaven.

–Christopher Columbus, Log of his third voyage (1498)

Bear in mind by this point the dude had been at sea for sometime, so I’d imagine he was seeing tity shaped things everywhere he looked.

Do you want to hear me rant about :javascript: /#JS and some niche or eccentric projects done with/for/about it (in 🇪🇸 Spanish)?
