As noted in the blog post of this new release, K-9 is looking for more funding. Earlier this year a call for donations (https://k9mail.app/2021/02/14/K-9-Mail-is-looking-for-fundin...) was quite successful, but the goal of $1000 per week is not yet met. It is currently at $770, so let's get it to $1000!

If you have a GitHub account then you can use that to donate: https://github.com/sponsors/cketti

But I can really recommend creating a Liberapay acccount (it accepts PayPal) as many FOSS projects use it to receive donations and Liberapay is open source itself and run by a non-profit. Let's get K-9 to its goal of $1000: https://liberapay.com/k9mail

The betas have been great indeed!

You can enable the 'Unstable updates' option in F-Droid's settings to receive notifications for new beta versions to avoid having to check manually. The downside is that you'll receive these updates for all apps, so be sure to check if a new version is a beta version for apps that you want to keep on stable versions.

Given the amount of backlash this whole debacle has in the community, couldn't a crowdfunding to cover legal costs be successful enough to start a lawsuit? AFAIK funding is the main reason why a lawsuit isn't happening (https://blog.bofh.it/debian/id_461).

Everyone should still move to Libera, but a lawsuit might bring some justice.

Afaik, Signal uses AWS. Is a raid/confiscation of AWS servers even possible?

The EU just released the Justice scoreboard 2020 detailing the differences between all EU countries.

Check out figures 27-29 for info on online access and other forms of digitization: https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/justice_scoreboar...

Court decisions are anonymized when published online in the EU. Is this the same in the US?

It seems that Signal is working on adding usernames: https://community.signalusers.org/t/signal-introducing-usern...

Give it a go again!

I think TransIP is quite ok.

Did you read the article? It shows many ways in which XS4ALL differs from other ISPs/KPN. Furthermore they run part of their network infrastructure themselves and put a lot of care into it, resulting in less downtime than other ISP's. Sure if you don't care much about your internet connection or the original values of the internet then you won't notice these differences, but I gladly pay a bit more for their outstanding service and support.

A relevant blogpost by Moxie about why the Signal app uses a centralized model (and thus doesn't allow other apps to connect to their servers): https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/

Still all code is open source and Signal's code does support federation. Moxie stated before that you can take the code and start a federated version of Signal if you want.

This game reminds me of XPilot released back in 1992: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPilot
