Very frustrating that the media is deliberately confusing sub-orbital joy-rides with real space travel.

It's like watching a rich person buy a cool surf-board and saying it's a first step towards low-cost transatlantic travel.

As someone in my discord server said - “the best way to make politicians anti-facial recognition might be to use it on them”.

Herzlich willkommen auf Mastodon @unihohenheim @Umweltministerium

Gutes Zeichen für eine datenschutzkonforme digitale Kommunikation: Die ersten beiden öffentlichen Stellen in #bawü haben bei uns einen Account eingerichtet.

Wir öffnen nach und nach die Instanz, andere öffentliche Stellen können es dem Umweltministerium BaWü und der Uni Hohenheim nachmachen!

#Datenschutz und #Digitalisierung gehören zusammen - und funktionieren zusammen 👍

Wo kann man #PLA in Deutschland/Europa recyceln lassen? Ich zahle gerne (etwas) Geld dafür.

My girlfriend got angry at me when I pointed out drinking coffee is same as taking drugs.

Coffee has a lot of caffeine which has
1) No nutritive value
2) Acts as stimulant (of course a mild one)
3) People repeat it, over time the amount of coffee people take increases to produce the same effect.

Just because everyone drinks it doesn't make it something good.

Brauch mal FollowerPower. Will mir so einen Saugroboter zulegen. Will aber nichts mit cloud Anbindung und so offen wie möglich. Jemand Erfahrungen oder eine gut Empfehlung?

So many people saying they're switching from Firefox. Won't this only make the problem worse?

If you're switching to Brave or qutebrowser or UnGoogled Chromium or something, you're only strengthening Google's monopoly. If you're switching to a Webkit-based browser like Epiphany, you're shifting the monopoly towards Safari, whose parent company doesn't consider the Web a priority.

That Mozilla has bad management doesn't change the fact that Firefox is the most viable option for the open web.

Fünf Gedanken zur aktuellen Diskussion über die Corona-Warn-App:

1. Die Medien berichten in den letzten Tagen vermehrt über Probleme bei der Corona-Warn-App. Diese wurden laut der Telekom mittlerweile behoben. Aus Sicht des Datenschutzes gab es jedoch zu keinem Zeitpunkt grundlegende Bedenken. Es gibt keinen Grund, die App zu deinstallieren.
