I'll be at @re-publica.com and am looking forward to connecting with digital-rights defenders and other like-minded people who are interested in secure messaging. Should you be at #rp26 as well, feel free to ping me; I’d love to meet up. I’ll also have some invitation codes for @air.ms with me 🙂

On my way back home from my very first #FOSDEM. It was such a nice experience! 🤩 So many lovely conversations with amazing people — not only, but obviously a lot about @air.ms, the secure messenger we recently launched as a beta. These four pictures probably summarize my @fosdem.org best 🤗

AIR
• No phone number or email
• End-to-end encrypted
• No metadata retention
• Open-source
• Post-quantum secure
• Based on Messaging Layer Security (MLS) and open standards
• EU-based

Who will be at #MozFest this weekend? Hard to believe but this will be my first ever 😱 If you are passionate about secure messaging or generally how your community, friends, colleagues can communicate securely, I'd love to talk to you! So if you're in Barcelona, feel free to ping me 🤗

Stand now I would opt for long pants 🥶 But maybe it’s also because of the cold brew 🙃

Wann machen wir eigentlich wieder dieses Schengen? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Mal so ganz abgesehen davon, dass die Kontrolle am Ende ohnehin nur auf Basis von Racial Profiling stattfand.

Es ist sehr schlimm. @arnesemsrott.bsky.social's Buch hat mich dazu gebracht, mit Marker Sätze zu unterstreichen. Das erste Mal in meinem Leben, dass ich überhaupt etwas in ein Buch male! 😱 Kauft dieses Buch, es ist wirklich sehr gut: fragdenstaat.de/buch/ #machtübernahme

Wann genau fängt die Agentur für Arbeit mal mit Service-Orientierung an, um auch mal für dringend benötigte Immigranten interessant zu sein?!

Below a screenshot of a chat conversation:

So I went to the Agentur für Arbeit today to ask them to update my address (Im still registered on Prenzlauer Berg, but now Im here) and boy, that did not go well
I really just wanted to update my address and ended up hearing the guy almost screaming that we are in Deutschland and in Deutschland we speak German

Above my post on Mastodon:

Rant übers Arbeitsamt
Wann genau fängt die Agentur für Arbeit mal mit Service-Orientierung an, um auch mal für dringend benötigte Immigranten interessant zu sein?!
Solche Stories habe ich schon von so vielen Menschen gehört, die mit dem Arbeitsamt zu tun hatten. Dort glaubt man wohl ernsthaft, dass Menschen an Tag 1 in Deutschland Deutsch sprechen können müssten, während sie selber nur 1(!) Sprache sprechen und das in einem Job, der zu einem hohen Grad mit internationalen Kunden zu tun hat 🤷‍♂️

#RightsCon will be held in South Korea next. Comparing the last RightsCon locations, South Korea seems to be the most welcoming. Second-least visa-free countries (Canada is hard to beat) but overall highest number of countries eligible for a visa waiver for 30-180 days per entry.

Welcoming index of different countries:
South Korea: 110
Costa Rica: 95
Tunisia: 97
Canada: 54
Belgium: 92
