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.

I love #FourFreedoms the point is: #StallmanReport says that 5 important people should leave #FSF and GNU as well...

The GNU project holds copyrights (copylefts) to its software that people are contributing under GPL...

Only GNU Project can change the licenses.

RMS keeps them on GPL for 40 years.

in reply to TFed

that's how they protect the GNU software, yes. It needs to stay that way and must not be changed to a more permissive license. RMS has dedicated his whole life to make sure that we get the guarantee for those four freedoms and it would be unwise for all of us to undo his 40-year effort. However, nobody is stopping anyone from making new software that does the same or similar functionality as GNU software does. OpenBSD does that.

How will great journalism be discovered in a world where SEO is dying, social media is fragmenting, and AI slop is everywhere?

I asked two of the most savvy people in the publishing world @jasonkoebler and @ben on the latest episode of Dot Social.

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.

Anyone knows one that can do custom categories in drawer?

That's one of my favorite features of Nova launcher, along with getting rid of the google assistant stuff and the google search bar.
in reply to Clay_pidgin Open Source reshared this.

Thanks, but i didn't like Nova, even though i don't know anymore, why.
in reply to MonkderVierte Open Source reshared this.

Oh I wasn't making a recommendation, sorry I wasn't clear. I was trying to agree that those are desirable features.

Neo Launcher supports that, but has no new builds since 2022, though development is ongoing
in reply to blue lion Open Source reshared this.

They are rewriting Neo Launcher. Some alpha builds are available for testers right now, but yeah, it will take time to get to stable.

First Google handed their domain business to SquareSpace ... and now SquareSpace has been acquired by a private equity firm.

I am now in the market for a new registrar.

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.

The funding.json file requires a full name email and phone number. Absolutely ridiculous. People are already scraping git commit emails for spam mail, this is just making their lives easier

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.

Neither UNIFIL nor U.N. Headquarters in New York have publicly reiterated that the peacekeepers can shoot back at the Israelis if they are attacked.


This is a nothinburger. Of course they can, in theory. But they won't, and they're not even hinting they might. It's just an article of wishful thinking and what legally is written in their charter. But reality is a different deal.

We just added #forgejo and #sharkey integration to our list of tutorials, see: joinjabber.org/tutorials/integ…
Integrations like this make it very easy to add #xmpp accounts to existing services and #fediverse instances.

#Gaza #Palestine

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.

You know you're being propagandized when there's a flood of the same talking points about or flooding your timeline from multiple accounts.

This is not organic, thinking humans don't do this...sheeple do.
