Random Joe, or should I say… GNU/Joe
Retrospectively, wasn’t a lot of the space-exploration-based SciFi from the 50s 60s 70s serving the purpose of justifying massive government spendings in big rockets, mainly used to build ICBMs, to justify imperialist policies and the cold war?
were we (the scifi afficionados) the useful idiots of this missile race?
yeah you need to know the password or secret handshake (like a protocol handshake) to be let in! :)
“porte” in French means a door.
Imagine each port is a door, all neatly aligned… some of them can be opened and lead to something… (a service)

I use a PinePhone (non-pro) as a daily-driver for 4+ years now. Sure it runs well. Just depends by what you mean by “linux”. If you use firefox and KDE you’re gonna suffer and complain about battery life.
If you’re ready to work a bit to make it custom and very frugal (in my case: pmos + sxmo) and use mostly CLI and TUI applications, then you can get a lot from it. I use links -g for a majority of my browsing, tut for the fediverse, aerc, gomuks, etc. for communications. heck there is even a simplex CLI client.
It’s exciting, it’s customized and i find it 10x more interesting than #$%!ndroid. and i make my backups through rsync. but it’s for sure a bit of work…
thank you for your thank you! <3
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ is a good place to start.
would you remove the battery during those 20 years?
going outside, musing around, gazing at the clouds and plants and all
cooking! finding out about good ingredients and how to make them even better! fermenting too…
music is life <3
Simplex.chat is promising, with great privacy/anonymity concepts at its core:
something you cooked from the bottom of your heart, inspired by that person, improvising with seasonal ingredients, with a touch of crazy zestiness (lime, ginger, chili)? something that would taste delicious and show how inventive and thoughtful you are!
You’re right! I don’t know either.
The facts remain, though.
Bruce Schneier is also probably just a conspiracy theorist, when he writes in 2014:
“By the way, the Register noted that Whisper Systems (along with Tor and several other privacy projects) received $450,000 from Radio Free Asia – which is pretty much an official State Department / CIA propaganda organ, isn’t it? How exactly does this work as a coherent national security strategy, when State is funding ‘privacy’ while NSA is funding eavesdropping? https://www.opentechfund.org/sites/default/files/attachments/otf2013annualreportfinal.pdf”

oh and that linked annual report of the OTF, like the following ones, doesn’t seem to be online anymore… :))
what a joke
well before 2013 it wasnt “Signal” but some proprietary software. After 2016 it wasn’t anymore “the initial phase”
Funny how you don’t seem to be wanting to see 2013-2016, but it’s OK. facts speak for themselves :)
“Between 2013 and 2016, Open Whisper Systems received grants from the Shuttleworth Foundation,[49] the Knight Foundation,[50] and the Open Technology Fund.[51]”
“Marlinspike launched Open Whisper Systems’ website in January 2013.[2][1]”
(from the page you linked)
How is that not the OTF (100% funded by Radio Free Asia) since its inception? how is it not its initial conception phase?
Let’s start mirroring and torrenting full ROMsets!
