Bob Jonkman Privacy

There is something unsavoury about a society that puts more value on seeking…revenge…than on protecting !privacy… http://ur1.ca/dy85w

Bob Jonkman XMPP and the XSF , ████ ██████

Google *is* in the process of breaking App Engine !XMPP compatibility, replacing it with Hangouts http://ur1.ca/dvdsz

Bob Jonkman ████ ██████

Yes, and then Google turned !XMPP back on again after fixing some anti-spam settings http://ur1.ca/dw3mo !Lazyweb #answer

Bob Jonkman VoIP , Bob Jonkman , Citizen Lab

Also, @voipms routes through US servers, Unlimitel keeps domestic calls within Canada; may be important for @citizenlab business !VOIP

Bob Jonkman Internet Freedom

@netfreedom There have been some problems with @voipms service in the KW area http://ur1.ca/duxze Not resolved yet !VOIP

Bob Jonkman Microsoft on Identica , Bob Jonkman

Anyway, I suspect !Microsoft is mining URLs in Skype to enhance Bing indexing #speculation

Bob Jonkman Bob Jonkman

@accessguyhere Skype claims to be encrypted http://ur1.ca/duvy5 to prevent access to 3rd-parties. But Microsoft is not a 3rd-party

Bob Jonkman XMPP and the XSF , Off the record , Self Host , Bob Jonkman

@accessguyhere I haven't verified that MS monitors Skype. I use !XMPP with !OTR on a !selfhosted server precisely to avoid such nonsense

Bob Jonkman Linux , nasa , Bob Jonkman

@malicethewitch I did set UserAgentSwitcher to iOS 4_2_1 but the @NASA TV site still refused to give me HTML5, and said I should upgrade

@marjoleink The software habit of releasing broken unworking software to unsuspecting non-tech people is a continuing source of frustration

Bob Jonkman Free Software , Marjolein Katsma

The "open standard" of Flash (used by !fs Gnash) is not compatible with the Flash produced by recent versions of Flash authoring software

Bob Jonkman Marjolein Katsma

Those ads are only in the Flash versions of YouTube videos, not the embedded HTML5 versions

Bob Jonkman Linux , nasa , AmbyR00

My browser can do YouTube's HTML5 just fine, but @NASA TV requires Flash for browsers, only has HTML5 for iOS devices http://ur1.ca/m6m

Bob Jonkman Linux , Daniel Devine

@ddevine Seems that way, but that kind of "journalism" sells newspapers. Oh, wait...
