@humanetech @dredmorbius @galaxis @tindall Regarding what does distributed[C] plan to be: it started with a simple design goal - we wanted to experiment with building something like Tumblr, but completely peer to peer. We have other design patterns we want to try, focused on a "small world" approach to online communities, but we have yet to get there - our immediate focus is to get the underlying data protocol stable.

You can read about the underlying tech stack here:

@dredmorbius @humanetech @galaxis @tindall Fascinating reading this - it's exactly one of the key design principles of something that a friend and I are working on: designing for personas.

Would love to read what you think if you give distributed[C] a try. Not adding more details for now because it would be great to see what kind of questions come up on a first encounter.

(UI is still kind of raw - we are focusing on the core for now)

Shame if people on the Internet were to copy it everywhere.

Your companions slap your back while you watch his blood trickle down your blade.
"Congratulations," your best friend says. "What will be your title?"
"None."
"What do you mean?"
"I'll dismantle the whole thing."
"Not take over? Why?"
"Nobody's tried it."

There's a phishing scam going around on Telegram where people identifying as a major game studio will supposedly offer you a well paying job with no paperwork.

They start by contacting you over the email from your art portfolio and then run the interview via text chat on #Telegram. After that they will try to voice call you over Telegram to run the actual scam.

If you're an artist and get one of these approaches please be vigilant and look for the usual warning signs.

Hi weirder earthers! I just moved my main account here from mastodon.social. I have been in fedi for several years but it's my first account in weirder.earth.

I'm into music, programming (especially functional languages), free software, cross-country skiing, and storytelling (but see my alt @hardcorenarrativist for more of that!).

I used to write a weekly series "Music Monday" (see archive here: http://music.hcoder.org/music-monday/), might start a third season soon-ish!

I've been thinking about this a lot lately...

RT @bbbradsmith@twitter.com

Was watching the 1938 Robin Hood and when a particular bit of sword fight happened, I realized I'd seen it a thousand times before in Prince of Persia! Rad!

Sounds like the new #Apple NeuralHash spyware code has been reverse engineered (already) since it was secretly shipped to phones in iOS 14.3 back in December 2020. #privacy #infosec

Imagine a government agency ordered Apple to include hashes of all documents they wanted to track into that kiddie porn database. Suddenly the government knows who's got that antivax meme JPG. Or tax protest DOC. Or an environmental report PDF.

And it's just hashes! Apple won't know what they're tracking, so they can't say "no".

Now tell me you honestly believe no government *ever* will take advantage of this invisible monitoring power.

My tracker blocker should be all your site needs to know that I do not consent to your tracking. Blocking it should be illegal.

Any “data protection law” worth its salt would mandate that unless consent is communicated on every request without prompting, consent does not exist.

@ricardojmendez it’s picky on how you look up an account. If you search the URI of the account I think it has to contain https:// otherwise it fails.

Anarchism is based on an essentially optimistic conception of human nature: if individuals have a natural tendency to get on well together then there is no need for the existence of a state to arbitrate between them.
