„Twitter Will Allow Employees To Work At Home Forever – Two months into working from home, Twitter makes it permanent for some. – Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey emailed employees on Tuesday telling them that they’d be allowed to work from home permanently, even after the coronavirus pandemic lockdown passes. Some jobs that require physical presence, such as maintaining servers, will still require employees to come in. – ‚We’ve been very thoughtful in how we’ve approached this from the time we were one of the first companies to move to a work-from-home model,‘ a Twitter spokesperson told BuzzFeed News. ‚We’ll continue to be, and we’ll continue to put the safety of our people and communities first.'“

„Telegram abandons $1.7 billion crypto project – Telegram has given up on the Telegram Open Network. The launch of the network was delayed by a court case with the SEC. – Telegram, the operator of the 400 million-strong messenger app, today announced that it has given up on its upcoming blockchain network, the Telegram Open Network, following a lengthy, protracted dispute with the SEC. – ‚Today is a sad day for us here at Telegram. We are announcing the discontinuation of our blockchain project.‘ wrote Pavel Durov, co-founder of Telegram, in a blog post. ‚Telegram’s active involvement with TON is over.‘ … The network didn’t launch, so Telegram offered to return investors their money. … That Telegram has had to abandon its project after two and a half years of work reopens the question of how Telegram, a privacy-oriented, encrypted messaging app, will make money.“

Die Bundeswehr setzt auf Matrix
„Bundeswehr will komplett auf Matrix-Chat wechseln – Die Bundeswehr will als Kommunikationssystem für Chat-Nachrichten künftig vollständig auf die freie Software Matrix setzen. Das gibt der IT-Dienstleister der Bundeswehr, BWI, bekannt. In der Ankündigung heißt es außerdem, ‚künftig wird die Chat-Applikation auch für die Übermittlung von Informationen der Schutzklasse ‚Verschlusssache – Nur für den Dienstgebrauch‘ (VS-NfD) zum Einsatz kommen‘. – Das ist insofern überraschend, als die Verwendung freier Software für Verschlusssachen und deren Zulassung durch das BSI mitunter schwierig sein kann, wie der Fall von OpenGPG aus dem vergangenen Jahr zeigt. Erste Tests zur Nutzung von Matrix bei der Bundeswehr laufen seit Dezember vergangenen Jahres.“
