A new secure messenger needs to have a solid foundation. For Air, this foundation is OpenMLS. It has been years in the making, and now it has been audited. This is an important milestone for Air.

The underlying security protocol implementation of our private messenger @air.ms has recently undergone an independent security audit!

It’s still early days for Air, but the foundation on which it is built is solid. The @sovereign.tech funded a security audit conducted by @srlabs.bsky.social of the underlying end-to-end encryption.

The OpenMLS audit report is now public!

OpenMLS, our implementation of the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol, has undergone a security audit conducted by @srlabs.bsky.social and sponsored by the @sovereign.tech. The security audit marks an important step toward making OpenMLS more secure. More details in our blog post:

Time to send some animated GIFs!

Im niederländischen #Loosdrecht (zwischen Utrecht und Hilversum) legen Rechte Feuer vor einer Flüchtlingsunterkunft – und halten die Feuerwehr davon ab, zum Einsatzort zu kommen. WTF. Thread von @levi98k.bsky.social

#Zambia Deeply concerned by gvt’s "postponement" of @rightscon.org Requiring "disclosure of topics" for an "alignment with national values" is a clear violation of the rights to freedom of assembly, association and expression, and a deliberated attack on civic space. 1/

Zufällig über dieses Jung & Naiv (@tilojung.bsky.social) Interview aus 2014 zu #Queerness im Profisport gestolpert. Davon würde ich mir gerne ein Update wünschen, aber ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass das gar nicht großartig Anders wäre 😞 www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHzr...

BREAKING: powerful iPhone hacking tools used by Chinese criminals originated from US defense giant L3 Harris. Their zero-click exploits went to Russian spies too. Unbelievable harm to our collective security. Scoop: @lorenzofb.bsky.social, here's why it matters 1/ techcrunch.com/2026/03/09/a...

Great read by @tante.cc "We should push towards more reliable software, more secure software, software that is accessible, that protects people against misuse and allows them to be as safe as possible in doing what they want to do. What do we get? Slop." tante.cc/2026/02/14/d...

Alles, was es zum Thema #Klarnamenpflicht im Internet zu sagen gibt, habe ich 2012 schon aufgeschrieben. Stimmt alles immer noch: Effektiv sinnlos, aber extrem problematisch. Das sieht man schon daran, was für Länder so eine Ausweispflicht fürs Internet haben: Diktaturen.

Every day there's some new horror. Forcing trans people off their hormones is just absolutely sadistic.

Wirklich tolles Video zum Thema: Warum reagieren Menschen je nach Geschlecht oft unterschiedlich auf die Diskussion um Epstein?

I cannot be bothered to read or listen to AI slop! Commenting "ai;dr" means “AI; didn’t read”. It is to inform low-quality shitposters that their lame, low-effort “AI” post will not be read. “tl;dr" is internet speak for “too long; didn’t read”. "ai;dr" is internet speak for "AI; didn't read".
