Today is the day. Welcome to THE charger!

USB-C is officially the common standard for charging electronic devices in the EU.

This means:

🔌The same charger for all new phones, tablets and cameras
⚡ Harmonised fast-charging technology
🔄 Reduced e-waste
🛑 No more “Sorry, I don’t have the right cable”

One charger to rule them all.

What I’m taking from this is that software engineers spend most of our time on engineering software, and writing code is (as expected) a relatively small portion of that work.

The logic of IP law is simple: 'It may be utter nonsense, but if it meets the relevant legal criteria, it's your nonsense and yours alone to commercially cherish'.

Americans: "Oh no, we couldn't possibly replace Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the $20; what kind of precedent would it set if we just started changing the picture on our money?"

Encryption backdoors must never be allowed. To prove that Tuta Mail and Tuta Calendar are free from any backdoor, the entire client code is published as open source. Let's fight against mass surveillance! ✊
