I'd love to form more of a community with other designers, especially those focused on #UX and who share #Libre slash #OpenSource values.
If you do too, respond to this thread and we can see where it goes from there.

"Companies and individuals might erroneously assume that because a company is publicly listed or is a major household name, that this means the app is designed using security best practices.Β
As we showed in this report, that assumption is false."

All the countries with light blue lines, where number of new cases is levelling off, everyone is wearing masks
Same is true in Czech. Where people are making their own masks
Theres loads of scientific papers backing up this approach
If nothing else is possible even wrapping a tshirt over your nose and mouth helps
Not been out much, but yet to see anyone here in Somerset, other than some Czech friends & Asian folks, wearing a mask

Incredibly, there are 50 years to go before Syriza's deal expires. It's the kind of long-term, locked-in neoliberal looting last seen in Chile after the CIA and the University of Chicago helped oust an elected leader and murder his supporters.

He calls that betrayal a worse blow to the left than Thatcherism, a profoundly demoralizing moment. I agree. I felt it.
10 years later, Syriza's cowardice has hollowed out Greece, left it poorer, more authoritarian and less stable.

"βUltimately, I think the ongoing trend toward increasing centralization inevitably leads to a situation where a #blockchain loses its entire raison dβetre as a permissionless platform with strong assurances and what weβre left with is a permissioned network that resembles todayβs centralized networks but built on less efficient infrastructure. That doesnβt sound very interesting or exciting to me,β
