   So, the fact that my main e-mail client (Mailpile) and my social media (Mastodon) are both browser-based means that I cannot easily open random links coming my way through these channels in a separate cube, using porcupine: https://micahflee.com/2016/06/qubes-tip-opening-links-in-your-preferred-appvm/

   This is less than ideal. Why does everything have to be browser-based these days.

   With all my gripes with# Signal (centralized, non-federated, server-based, Electron-based desktop app), the fact that in my circle of contacts it's not longer the "pretty good solution we should be using" but the "pretty good solution we are using but looking for something better" is such a win.I just wanted to stop for a second and appreciate that.If we're talking …

   Oh boy. https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/1635

   tl;dr Signal Desktop is based on Electron, which in turn is based on Chromium 58-59, and it seems to be affected by bugs that have been fixed in Chrome/Chromium 60-62.

   Gotta love #Electron. As somebody said "now everyone is running 5 different instances of old insecure versions of the most scrutinized and attacked application on Earth."

   @Martin03 how is Keybase not a centralized walled-garden?

   @lain I'm sorry, but that's a completely different thing.I don't think anyone is saying everyone should be *pushed* to higher education. Don't want? That's fine.Instead, what at least I am saying, is: if they want to, they should have to take a crippling debt on to do so, even if we're talking philosophy, japanese studies or http://status.hackerposse.com/url/17246's …

   "[I]t emerged that they [Facebook researchers] had been conducting secret research on more than 6.4 million Australian youth as young as 14 years old to determine when they were at their most vulnerable, experiencing feelings of being “worthless” or a “failure” in order to better target them for advertisers"

    @angristan I did my #TwitterSuicide almost exactly 5 years ago, during #29C3. Mainly because I could not rationalize criticizing walled gardens and using one at the same time.

    Never looked back.

    @cbowdon because we have already Discourse in production, used by a large number of users, and I need to upgrade it.

    Shouldn't have gone with Discourse to begin with. The red flags were there. Eh.

    @aral @guizzy @Gargron on the other hand, expanding the scope too much will lead to feature creep and software that stops being usable in any particular use-case. Look at RetroShare for an example.

    It's a trade-off, and not an easy decision.

    @xor I agree with all of this, but just to stir up hornets' nest a bit:

    1. how about: "if you're not paying for it, there's a good chance you're the product"

    2. we really have to start making #FLOSS users understand they *need* to support the software they're using financially even if there is no upfront price tag.
