Please circulate.

Who has used or know of Voxer.com and the #walkie-talkie service?
Is it safe, secure, good support?
I know it isn't foss, so, are there any #foss alternatives?
Thank you.

I've done some research but I #trust your opinions over those in other areas of the internet.

Don't forget to turn on Invidious (for YouTube links) and Nitter (Twitter links) with the app. Better privacy protection is not a luxury.

Does anyone know how long it takes for @matrix to verify an account login?

"We have to point out that if devices are unsafe, it is a legal obligation to permit us to make them safer. If you sell an ... unsafe automobile, and you attempt to prevent people from modifying those devices to make them safer, if you're out actually there actively interfering with attempts to make them safer, then when people get hurt you should be liable."

How nice of #YouTube to tell creators they don't have enough views to monetize, but then run ads on their videos without giving them any ad revenue. I remember when #Google had a motto of not being evil. Maybe creators should give #PeerTube a try.

What are the possible scenarios/configurations for setting this up?
Thank you!
