Google have suspended Element in the Play Store without notifying us; we're reaching out to find out what's going on. Apologies for the inconvenience; in the interim there's https://f-droid.org/en/packages/im.vector.app/ but it's a few versions behind. We'll post updates here.

I am not using reddit under the username mar-v-in. And microG development will continue. https://gist.github.com/mar-v-in/ad8d220ea4220638c0e5861cf062e844
Why are people making up such things?

#SailfishOS is closing both their GitLab instance and OBS. Every time I take a look at how far they have gone, I find out they made 2 steps back. It's a real pity. I was so proud of #Jolla in 2013...

My #thinkpad X220 doesn't power on if no AC is connected and, once powered, if I plug off the AC it shutdowns immediately even if the battery is fully charged. What can it be!? `tlp -b` shows all the statistics about the battery so I don't think it's faulty.
Yay! #Rust blog's posts are back in my @nextcloud News after my patch got merged https://github.com/rust-lang/blog.rust-lang.org/pull/588
Quite a few contributions to some external project this month 😉 #opensource
An interesting research regarding the (mis)use of tracking apps to fight #covid19 https://www.adalovelaceinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Ada-Lovelace-Institute-Rapid-Evidence-Review-Exit-through-the-App-Store-April-2020-1.pdf #coronavirus #privacy
If my registrar doesn't support #DNSSEC, is #Cloudflare my only alternative? 😕
Mmm... how do I know if my #linux box does require the linux-firmware package? `dmesg | grep -i firmware` returns nothing...
In the specific case, I've a #BeagleBone Black with just 2GB and the linux-firmware takes more than 500MB...
