Ghost Keys and Cypherpunk Reputation Systems w⧸ Ian Clarke of Freenet
A discussion of how this system could help disincentivize spam and botnets on the internet by creating Webs of Trust and reputation systems using well established techniques, namely asymmetric cryptography, from as far back as the 80s and 90s. But making it easy to use.
On December 7, 2004, Thunderbird 1.0 was released. Now, 20 years later, we’re celebrating two decades of secure, open-source email communication! 🎉 This new video by the open source Freehive Agency...
I LOVE IT SO MUCH how you've fully embraced #peertube !!!! Great interview once again, and thanks for promoting these #fediverse projects:)
It is an amazing endorsement and in many ways legitimizes all the work that these contributors are doing, and more importantly introduces them to people that would otherwise never hear about them.
I've seen some creators use #peertube embedded within their sites that have nothing to do with the #fediverse and hosting videos that are getting multiple thousands of views.
I think this should be the real goal of these technologies, similar in a lot of ways to how WordPress took over the internet as a CMS. Most people don't know or care about the politics or details behind it, they just know it makes creating and deploying a site accessible to them:)
I hope this ethos is adopted by more #foss #opensource developers. Make these services easy to use, nice to look at and have rock solid basic functionality ... feature creep is a dead end IMHO.
How will students find and distinguish functional journalism that is news oriented in the era of SEO manipulation, clickbait and straight up news-masquerading Slop is something all school need to be addressing in their curriculum.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but if you’re having this much trouble differentiating yourself from a malignant narcissist convicted felon, maybe you could try not funding and arming a fucking genocide.
U.N. peacekeepers in Lebanon are permitted to use force in several circumstances, including self-defense and prevention of hostile action in its area of deployment, writes Joe Lauria.
There seems to be absolutely no red line at this point. Maybe it's a good thing, they start bombing the UN then they become an enemy combatant and the rest of the world can go take care of the problem.
Of course they are "allowed to", which is kind of a ridiculous notion in war in the first place. But they're in a complex enclosed by land that will soon be under full control of Israeli forces. All info getting out will go through Israeli channels. Independent observers won't be let anywhere close. And when the peacekeepers end up disappearing, the west will strongly urge Israel to conduct an investigation into the matter. While delivering another shipload of weapons and a cheque over $10B.

Up there with Macron telling Netanyahu to remember that Israel only exists because the UN decided that it should. I dont like Macron and its still just talk, but its a step in the right direction.
Hard on the heels of pledging a crackdown on excessive surcharges, the Albanese government has promised legislation to ban unfair trading practices.
The government said this would include specific prohibitions on various “dodgy” practices.
“From concert tickets to hotel rooms to gym memberships, Australians are fed up with businesses using tricky tactics that make it difficult to end subscriptions or add hidden fees to purchases,” the prime minister, treasurer and assistant treasurer said in a statement.
“These practices can distort purchasing decisions, or result in additional costs, putting more pressure on the cost of living.”
They said the government would deal with
“subscription traps” that make it difficult to cancel a subscription
“drip pricing” characterised by hidden fees or fees added during the purchase
deceptive and manipulative online practices. These aim to confuse consumers, such as for example by creating a false sense of urgency, warning there is only a limited time to purchase
dynamic pricing, where a price changes during the transaction
requiring a consumer to set up an account and provide unnecessary information for an online purchase
a business making it difficult for a consumer to contact it when they have a problem with the product.
Krystal and Saagar discuss a CNN segment where the channel is called out for their coverage of the genocide in Gaza as well as a new report showing Israel using Palestinians as human shields.
The anchor asked panel participant Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan for her thoughts on the matter.
"History books will be written on this and countries will have to reckon—media agencies will have to reckon—with their major role in the genocide," Hassan said.
After ~370 days of Netanyahu indiscriminately bombing Gaza, Blinken & Austin have sent him a letter that if he doesn't stop bombing in 30 days, they might consider withholding some weapons.
Either they're deliberately making empty threats because they agree with his bombing, or they need cover to get through the Election, or both.
Stop arming Netanyahu. End this genocide. Release all hostages. Enough.
They're definitely trying to get through the elections, and it will work:(
It seems there is no shortage of people that are willing to believe that the US gov is trying to stop a genocide by arming it. That is some unbelievable mental gymnastics!
