@schratze The worst of all are the chainsaws and hedge trimmers that run on dead dino juice. Not just wrecking nature, but guzzling fossil fuels, emitting clouds of toxic crap, and making a hell of a lot of noise in the process.
@f0x I think you associated my reply with the wrong toot :p Which in a sense kinda proves the point!
@f0x Famous last words

Tech: Important privacy/security question about mobile apps
I want to advise a specific mobile app to #leftist #activists and corresponding activist media.
I'm looking for a reliable and free (preferable open source) app that can automatically (or user-friendly manually) remove all details of persons (especially protesters, but if automatically other people are good too) in *video's*.
The use case is that someone films on a demo and something bad happens with the police or Nazi's, but they still want to share it on the internet, without revealing identities of the protesters. Not especially for the police, cause they film everyone anyway, but for Nazi's and other dangerous folks. To avoid doxxing.
I know about ObscuraCam from the Guardian Project, but that one only works unreliable with faces in pictures and video's can only be pixelated and/or colorized completely, so that's useless.
Thinking about it during writing this post I think there are no open-source apps offering this probably, only proprietary. So if that's the case, so be it. Please advise!
@s0 Yep, I do actually use Fastmail for my freelance e-mail already, and it works very well. The main problem I have with them for personal e-mail, though, is that they are in Australia... not exactly the safest country from a privacy perspective.
@jcgruenhage@chaos.social Thanks! This is looking quite good, actually.
@ckie I'm specifically looking for a hosted Just Works service with good deliverability right now - I already have too many things to be concerned about, and e-mail is pretty critical to me :)
@elilla I'd argue that things haven't changed much since the time of the Luddites, really; it always ends up being about who the tech is designed/implemented to benefit, not about the tech itself.
I'm looking for recommendations on e-mail providers! Since Google is axing my free GApps plan soon.
What I'm looking for:
- Support for own domain, including catch-all
- Reasonably priced (single user)
- Good reputation on reliability, deliverability(!), and privacy
- *No* jurisdiction marketing ('we're private because we're in country X')

de, ger, asking for endo recommendations, boosts appreciated
can anyone recommend me an endo who's
- near frankfurt (or like, as close as possible and closer than berlin, lol)
- does hrt on transfems, including non-binary ones like me (i'm very fem-presenting tho which kinda helps and i might be able to pretend i'm binary)
- respects their patients' wishes in terms of dosage and administration method
i already have an indication letter since >=6 months and i'm already on prescribed hrt since >=5 months, but my endo is in berlin, hard to contact and very far away, and he is technically not an endo but an Allgemeinarzt and i'm never rlly sure if he actually knows what he is doing, so i would like to switch to someone competent (yet not less trans-friendly) who's closer to where i live
#trans i guess
also boosts appreciated

Swe pol, homelessness
So there's a new law allowing people to be banned from specific swedish libraries. It seems rather targeted at homeless people.
There's been a rather unofficial culture of libraries being safe havens.
This seems like an attack on that.
They talk about keeping in mind what the purpose of a library is, and they seem to describe that purpose as just reading books.
@mk@mastodon.satoshishop.de That's actually legitimately useful :)

tech, dark patterns
I did some research for a talk I’ll hold later this month so I took a look at a very long list of open source cookie consent libraries.
On this huge list, there where 3 entries that had a demo available and where compliant to EU law while not using any dark patterns.
I didn’t count the ones that where not compliant but it was a multitude.
One would think that most people working on open source stuff care about privacy and ethical design but that doesn’t seem to be the case

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev And then ironically, Element, despite having corporate users as a specific part of their demographic, added confetti and snow effects to the client...
@davidak@chaos.social I'm... conflicted. It looks good, but I'm concerned that this might create the wrong impression to new users - because the *rest* of NixOS just isn't really user-friendly yet, and so users will likely still be lost directly after installing it. I hope this doesn't result in a flood of angry issues?
