There's nothing wrong with honest disagreements between people of good faith and I love a lively debate, but please keep all conversations respectful. Here's a quick guide to logical fallacies. It might be worth it for us all to review.
From 2023, W3C is its own legal entity (“W3C Inc”). What's new, you ask? Well, it's a big change, as until this year, W3C wasn't a thing in itself. It existed in a “hosted model”, meaning (most recently) four universities “hosted” W3C, with staff being employed by/through those universities. Three of those universities (all except MIT) are still around, now as ”partner”.
Someone asked me about de-centralized social media iOS app Damus, which uses the Nostr protocol -- and has been promoted heavily by Twitter Co-Founder Jack Dorsey.
Things I like:
1. Looks simple 2. Neat UI/UX 3. Easy to get up and running
Things I don't like:
1. The private key / public key is difficult to use 2. Interoperability with different clients is not fun 3. More crypto bullshit
I've tried other Nostr clients. It's pretty much the same thing.
Mein Artikel zum automatischen Entschlüsseln von LUKS Partitionen mittels eines TPM2 chips ist heute auch im FedoraMagazine erschienen fedoramagazine.org/automatical…
Entering the passphrase to decrypt the disk at boot can become quite tedious. On modern systems a secure hardware chip called "TPM" (Trusted Platform Module) can store a secret to automatically decrypt your LUKS partitions.

The Github Mastodon support is really neat - just add a link to your Mastodon account in Github, then add your Github account here, and it automatically verifies you.

@Friendica Support Good evening everyone. To help the mastodon users of my new instance poliversity.it (a spin off for researchers and journalists, born from my instance friendica poliverso.org) I started promoting the use of the Friendica forums, as a way to make up for the lack of topics all inside of mastodon.
I then discovered that a fediverse project already exists, managed by the "immers-space" cooperative, which aims to create real groups (a.gup.pe/) and the mechanism on which it is based it is the same as the Friendica forums (re-share messages addressed to the group address which will be [groupname] + @ a.gup.pe ) .
I confess that I don't like that immers-space centrally manages a service for the entire fediverse, while the possibility that any friendly user can autonomously manage a group/forum seems to me more adherent to the spirit of the fediverse.
However, I have found that gup groups have extremely good performance compared to Friendica, reposting received messages in real time (and on any instance!), while Friendica groups have a much higher latency.
What can be the reason? This is a question related to the higher performance of gup servers compared to those of poliverso.org, or it depends on the design of friendica compared to that of gup (here the github link github.com/immers-space/guppe )
@Signor Amministratore My experience has been somewhat different. The reliability of #guppe does not seem constant to me. Sometimes it dropped out or a post was only shared hours later. With a #Friendica #forum, on the other hand, I have observed a relatively constant latency of a few seconds to 1-2 minutes. Perhaps @Μαθθίας/ξ ✔ can contribute something more competent.
In addition, a forum also offers a relatively well-structured presentation, while guppe is just a pure distribution list.
Its a load question. When you have got a server that only does forums and nothing else, then it will be much faster than a server with a lot of users and some forums.
@Signor Amministratore My experience is the exact opposite as far as a.gup.pe/ is concerned. From my point of view it is extremely unreliable. Either posts are not shared, or if they are, they are shared very late. From my point of view, forums at Friendica are much more reliable.
Performance, accessibility, and usability are more than just inconvenient truths you can pretend don’t exist. They have a direct impact on the quality of someone’s life…
Why am I finding all the good #Christmas #music late? I love this so much that I won't give any spoilers. Let's just say this should have been playing in a certain shop around this time of year. No, it's not "Never Gonna Give you up" or any other prank of that nature, but it is pretty funny and cool. youtube.com/watch?v=pDGl2albRH…
If anyone is looking for tips about DAWs, ignore anything from homerecordingpro.com. I don't know if they've always done this, but this particular article is AI generated. It's fairly obvious on first glance to anyone involved with music or audio production IMO. I wish search engines had a report feature to blacklist websites like this from being indexed, because someone who might not know about DAWs might be fooled by this. homerecordingpro.com/how-to-us…
it seemns the #steamdeck wasn't revolutionising much of anything, the idea was tryed before, with varying success. Sure, while you could think of the gpd win and not be far from the truth, actually there was an even earlier attempt at the same thing by #samsung. Since this was launched in the xp era, of course it didn't catch well at the time, however it's still an awesome thing to think about. In short, it was a windows xp powered tablet, with a touchscreen, game controller and stuff like that, and while the specs are horible by today's standards, it was quite an achievement back then.

This is a repository of apps to be used with F-Droid. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github).
Didn't Netlify just have a 16% layoff just a few weeks ago? So they have the cash to buy another company? Netlify Acquires Gatsby netlify.com/press/netlify-acqu… All these companies have tons of money for C-suite bonuses, and buying new companies. Yet, they are doing layoffs saying the economy is down while paying bonuses to the top executives and getting rid of working folks. I hate this so much.
Netlify has acquired Gatsby – cloud platform, and creators of web framework Gatsby – advancing composable web architectures with increased flexibility.

Release Engineering Is Exhausting So Here's cargo-dist!
Helping your Rust projects ship prebuilt binaries that others can actually use without you having to become a Github CI Expert (or Rust Toolchain Expert) ((or OS integration expert)) (((or...)))
Sounds good to me. Looks like there's also ASCII art on the first navigation link and the signup form's submit button. For those I'd use aria-label to override the accessible text.
But anyway, cargo-dist looks really cool. I almost want to add some kind of tool component to AccessKit (which is, so far, purely a library project) just so I can use it.
I will look at your app and see if there are any gaps in the egui AccessKit integration, or AccessKit itself, that need to be filled before the app can be made usefully accessible.
@matt to be clear I'm not sure if any uses minidump-debugger For Real -- I made it last year to mess with egui and also demo the functionality of rust-minidump (whose primary users use it as a library or cli in their infra)
but it definitely *works* and is useful (although some of the log viewer stuff is dubious absent a good Text Editor widget in egui that can handle enormous amounts of text)
This application looks like exactly the kind of niche tool that I hope AccessKit will help make accessible. The kind of thing that's far enough off the beaten path that it probably won't be made accessible through typical corporate accessibility efforts, thus limiting job prospects for disabled people. Looking forward to exploring this app.

A.-T. Le et al., "A cross-process Spectre attack via cache on RISC-V processor with trusted execution environment"¹
The trust execution environment (TEE) provides a safe region, also known as a secret enclave, for executing private programs that need protection. This work proposed a cross-process exploitation scheme for conducting the cache side-channel attack, Spectre, on RISC-V processors with a trust execution environment. Practical experiments are provided to verify the protected enclave’s security on RISC-V processors with the TEE. In these experiments, the attacker and victim do not share the same address space as in known implementations but are executed in separate processes. The experimental results show that initial leakage information from the cache memory can be recorded. To the best of our knowledge, no prior research has been conducted on the Spectre attack against RISC-V’s TEE. This implementation will be a critical component for extending further cache side-channel experiments on the security of RISC-V processors.
Bisher: Bei der Nutzung der mobilen Outlook App (iOS, Android) speichert Microsoft die Zugangsdaten zu dem E-Mail-Konto (einschließlich des Passworts) auf eigenen Servern, verarbeitet alle ein- und ausgehenden E-Mails auf eigenen Servern und hat damit vollen Einblick sowohl in Inhalts- als auch in alle Metadaten.
Neu: Jetzt exklusiv auch für Mac-Rechner verfügbar! 😵
Die Mobil-App von Outlook leitet IMAP-Abfragen schon seit Langem über Microsofts Azure-Cloud um. Nach einem Update passiert das nun auch bei Office auf Mac.

Here's one from my homeland of the Netherlands, showing excess mortality in 2022 was just as high as 2020 and 2021. Which would be weird if #covid were actually over cbs.nl/en-gb/news/2023/04/exce…
Meanwhile news and bureaucrats are like "wow so weird idk whats going on they're not recorded as official covid deaths"
That's because to be recorded as an official covid death you have to die during the acute stages of confirmed covid and you wound down testing and vaccines and treatment are helping fewer people die of covid in hospital but we know your risk of dying after the acute stage goes way up so *it's still probably covid* you dumb fucks
Just think. What's different between pre 2020 and now? There's your goddamn answer
Can't believe we're going into year 4 of this shit with the elites clearly showing *they* still think covid is an issue and they don't wanna get it but everyone still is like "idk I don't hear about it so it must be over"
Or the even worse "you gotta live your life". Idk man I feel like dying of a stroke, pulmonary embolism, or heart attack is at odds with the "live" part of your statement

in reply to Chris Trottier • • •The biggest problem with Nostr, though, is all the spam.
Right now, it's overwhelmed by crypto scammers.
The folks who run Nostr do very little moderation.
This is what the global chat looks like.
Chris Trottier
in reply to Chris Trottier • • •When I look at Nostr (and Damus, by extension), I feel like they've learned all the *wrong* lessons about decentralization.
What makes decentralization work isn't the tech in and of itself.
It's the community that uses it.
And quite frankly, I don't like Nostr's community.
Chris Trottier
in reply to Chris Trottier • • •Nobody would care about Nostr if it wasn't for Jack Dorsey donating $245,000 towards the project.
And that's the real story to me:
Twitter's previous billionaire CEO wants to hurt Twitter's current billionaire CEO by throwing money at decentralized, open source projects.
But not all decentralized, open source projects are worthwhile.
Especially ones that have pretty much just become yet another vector for crypto spam.
Chris Trottier
in reply to Chris Trottier • • •Many people don't understand that, when it comes to software development, time is more effective than money.
You can't just throw $1 billion at software and expect it to be any good.
You need someone who is dedicated, puts in the work -- more importantly -- models *how* it's supposed to work.
Just because Jack Dorsey throws money at something doesn't mean it will be amazing.
