Maybe is a good one to discuss with the circumvention team for the long term plan 14:13:52 or do we want to write a comment on the ticket and remove the ux-team label for now 14:15:08 mmm 14:15:30 maybe we can keep the ux-team label and wait until dev work on it in order to give some review 14:15:33 pili: I see, thanks! 14:16:42 #28381 is a bug, we already have the assets for being oreo responsive 14:16:49 clash: ^ 14:17:45 so for #29695, that could be a good one for S30, I've added phw and cohosh to it 14:17:54 It hasn't been implemented dev side? 14:18:22 pili cool 14:18:57 clash: yes, this is the relevant ticket #28622 14:19:26 any other pili? 14:19:53 I don't think so, we already went through the others before 14:20:18 cool, thanks 14:20:19 (there may have been some new ones created but they can wait until next time 14:20:45 also related with triage, I triaged the OONI Explorer tickets i'd work for the stable release cc/gaba 14:20:53 https://github.com/ooni/explorer/projects/3#column-5354884 14:21:56 dunqan: you are up -- btw i sent the personas email to the ux list :) 14:21:57 antonela: that's what I thought, the black bg mask could be made adaptive easily 14:22:09 yeah i saw! no feedback yet? 14:22:14 (I've not had anything directly) 14:22:24 no yet, lets see! 14:22:59 anyway, so I've been lurking on tor/privacy support boards and subreddits recently, and the number one question I'm seeing from new users is about VPNs 14:23:15 a lot of whom seem to think using a VPN with TB is _essential_ 14:23:32 Isn't there info that it's not actually recommended? 14:23:33 there's been a big boost in marketing for various VPN providers that could be to blame, perhaps 14:23:40 yes we know, wayward has been working in a blogpost about it 14:23:46 ah cool 14:23:49 I think the onboarding said so 🤔 14:24:01 the onboarding casually mentions VPNs I think 14:24:08 but I was wondering if we need to review that too? 14:24:17 (and point to this blog post when ready?) 14:24:28 yes we should 14:24:54 slightly concerned that a lot of novice users are compromising their anonymity by using some random VPN 14:24:57 because they think they have to 14:24:57 i don't know about the progress on it since the community team didn't have a meeting this week 14:25:07 ah okaydokes :) 14:25:26 is there a way to re-view onboarding? 14:25:54 nvm found it 14:26:24 you may need to tweak some prefs 14:26:28 dunqan: is a good topic, we could discuss more about it during the dev meeting 14:26:29 to get the vanilla onboarding 14:26:35 sure thing antonela 14:26:52 cool, thanks! 14:27:20 last agenda item: emmapeel, GeKo worked on #30497 14:27:28 will it get the translated strings? 14:27:29 I just checked and there's a bit about VPN in the Tor Network part, that could be expanded maybe 14:27:30 yes, i think we are groot 14:27:42 emmapeel: super, thanksss 14:27:51 (we talked about it on the mornin') 14:27:59 yeah clash that's the bit I was thinking of 14:28:36 clash, dunqan or we can link to support.tpo with more info about it 14:29:10 there's a question in the FAQ but it doesn't really address the topic directly 14:29:25 it's more worded along the lines of _is tor like a VPN?_ 14:29:40 i see 14:29:43 you right 14:29:53 ey pili i forgot to tell you, just after this meeting there is a linguine meeting in jitsi if you want to join 14:29:54 but yeah I think we need to link out to something more direct about VPNs 14:29:57 oh 14:29:59 from the onboarding 14:30:05 let me look at mi calendar emmapeel 14:30:14 I have another meeting... :( 14:30:16 could you open a ticket so we don't forget dunqan? 14:30:31 yep will do! 14:30:37 yes, something like "You don't need a VPN to be anonymous in Tor, in fact it's not recommended to use Tor with a VPN.
