@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:

  1. Teach #TechLiteracy instead of consumerism.
  2. Mandate #confirmation & #notification - #PopUp|s for every use of #Clipboard (similar to #webcam use by websites)...
  3. Ban #JavaScript - seriously!
  4. Ban #Windows, because it's a #Govware, espechally since #Windows10 and even more so on #Windows11 that is *insecure in every configuration!
  5. Put #TechIlliterates before a system they can't feck up. I.e. @tails_live @tails / #Tails for that reason alone (can't run such commands if they neither got #root nor any #persistent #storage to target).
  6. Normalize the use of @torproject #TorBrowser!
  7. #Teach #tech #literacy instead of #consumerism!
  8. Ban #GAFAMs and their shitty products!
  9. Migrate every #TechIlliterate to #Linux and don't give them administrative privilegues.
  10. Teach tech literacy instead of consumerism!

Well, I really like #X11 (#Xorg) ... and my son loves #PeppaPig. Which gives me a stupid idea. I could write something called #Xchicken. Make some chicken lay some eggs with mouse clicks on some #XRender surface.

Rough roadmap:
- Draw some chicken and eggs, probably as SVG?
- Reuse code from #Xmoji, add special widget supporting some "layered canvas"
- Implement game logic
- Add sound? (Hm, gotta look into #OSS and maybe #sndio, cause #FreeBSD ... #Linux weirdness maybe later)
- ....?

I'll probably never start though 🙈

I am looking for an #alternative to MS 365 email. Partner support is required. The data can be in the cloud, but it must be compatible with the desktop client. In addition, the client must be Linux. Which provider can I consider with over 1200 users? Next is to replace Teams and Office and switch to a Linux desktop

The whole thing is planned as a test first. A small introduction should be possible with the solution
Which provider should I contact?
