Any #nodejs developers interested in taking up this challenge?
Build #yarn 1.x with #babel 7.x
Yarn 2.x already moved to babel 7.x but there is no stable release for yarn 2.x and it is completely different from yarn 1.x.
This will help us ship yarn in #debian (we already moved everything else to babel 7.x but could not port this yet) for next stable release bullseye.
It would be useful to nodejs developers to make initial installation of yarn easy.
According to the FTC, Zoom lied to users about end-to-end encryption for years. This is one of the obvious perils of nonfree software: you can't verify that the software isn't abusing you, you just have to take their word. https://u.fsf.org/371Zoom lied to users about end-to-end encryption for years, FTC says

Did we mention backdoors are a terrible idea?

The EU Council is pushing for encryption backdoors to messenger apps such as WhatsApp and Signal to fight terrorism (German article): https://fm4.orf.at/stories/3008930/
Despite the fact that errors of investigation in Austrian authorities had made the attack possible in the first place and not a lack of digital surveillance powers. Politicians must start to understand that more surveillance will not lead to more security. That's why we fight any attempt for an encryption backdoor: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk/

Last Sunday the UK/US/CA/AU/NZ/IN/JP govts issued a statement asking tech companies to add backdoors into E2E encryption. This is a big deal: unfortunately *backdoors do not work*.

GSoC intern, Alejandro, worked on making the code of our Matrix client Fractal more elegant, by using a piece of software provided and maintained by Matrix maintainers to interact with Matrix instances. Thanks to their efforts, Fractal maintenance is simpler and new features such as end-to-end encryption will be easier to implement!
