Hi Bernhard,

can you please share the source of information. I am interested. As of 
today I could manage to work without the DB App by using PDF documents I 
upload to my Nextcloud. This was possible because I still own the 
plastic card in hardware.


Thanks.

Hi Carsten,

we have set up our own instance of BBB which was quite easy to setup
initially and started with UI tweaking.

One downside of BBB I see is that they require Ubuntu in a specific LTS
version (currently 16.04). If you use something else you might not get
support.

Best Regards,
Thomas

maybe not all are catching the fun in your sentence ...
I often hear 'I have nothing to hide' and sure I use facebook and
WhatsApp but I don't care that three-letter-agencies know what I do
tomorrow and during the day. It's just someone told them to use WhatsApp
because they use it and it costs you nothing to get in there and to send
and receive messages. And if everyone is using it why should I move to
something else and risk losing information? People tend to inform other
via WhatsApp or facebook only and if you are not in the bubble your are
not informed. It's stupid but unfortunately it's that simple truth. In
this situation it's a clear black or white for 'newcomers'.

I personally experience this with two totally separated user bases.
In both cases I can reject using non-free software for me but I
understand everyone who does not. I had a hard fight with Signal until I
got it back to work (sometimes) and my family gets really angry
sometimes asking why I don't respond to there messages. I just tell them
that I haven't received them yet which is disappointing for both of us,
but a different story. Sorry I drifted away!

Back to topic: Who knows that e.g. Hackernews[0] won't be part of it
some day, although they might not be part of it right now? How do we
react if we find out and people ask us why we haven't informed them
earlier so they got used to it and learned to live with it? Then it's
literally the same situation they experienced with e.g. facebook because
nobody told them the risk of using 'US based proprietary services'[1].

just my two cent.

Thomas

That's a nice comparison...

Well I'm still missing an equivalent alternative with a good
compatibility between different software tools. Would like to have
something with XMPP in the background but support of voice and video is
still not working as good as commercial software... OK to be honest,
right now I don't use software for video collaboration not even Skype
but I know at least one person still booting windows to Skype because
the Linux version is to far behind the windows release version...

Any suggestions?

Well one thing is with online activities you can even track down the effect to

I picked one for Germany at random. 'OSiP - Online-Sicherheitsprüfung' looks 
like a nice tool but if I click on 'download releases' I get 'Your search

Without the source code I can not run the software.

I agree with you. As a non-native speaker it's really difficult to read the

I will re-read it later maybe reading it twice  make something more clear.
