If you appreciate a video on PeerTube, try looking for a "Support" button below the video. If the video has one, clicking the Support button will take you to information about how you can tip or donate to the maker of the video. (On mobile the Support button may just be an icon of a hand with a heart above it.)

If you're a video creator, you can add a Support button by filling in the "Support button" section on your video's management page.

#today hive mind, I am looking for a book to help a very bright 5 year old deal with impending loss. My chaos monkeys other grandmother is not responding to chemo.
Other grandmother and I are good friends (weird, right?) and she wants to be as transparent as possible without hitting the kid over the head with TMI.
PLEASE BOOST. The books I have looked at are after the fact. We need something that explains tired and hair loss and terminal .

I'm slowly working my way deeper into the technical side of activity pub. But I'm sure there's already plenty of you, who already made a deep dive.

What's a discovery you found most interesting or maybe even unexpected?

A dozen banking apps now whitelist GrapheneOS by name. The most security-obsessed institutions were the last to trust an open-source OS.

@maya @OmegaPolice Most banking apps work on GrapheneOS but many have memory corruption bugs and incorrect anti-tampering code requiring our per-app exploit protection compatibility mode toggle.

Around 10% of banking apps are unavailable due to banning using a non-Google-approved OS. Around a dozen banking apps began specifically permitting GrapheneOS in addition to a Google-approved OS which is growing.

There's a good list based on ongoing user reports:

Just a reminder that #Fedilab has a feature to detect the language of the message you are writing (disabled by default).
If you are a polyglot, it can warn you when you have selected the wrong language.
You can enable it in Settings > Compose > Check language when posting.
Settings search with "check" typed, showing the result "Check language when posting" under Settings > Compose.
Compose settings with the "Check language when posting" option enabled.
Composer with a French message while the selected language is English.
Warning dialog: language mismatch detected, with the choices Keep in English, Cancel and Post in Français.

Curio

I was curious and checked what current models for language detection there are and what size they are.

I’m guessing the >100MB figure must have Lingua, but there other libraries that are significantly smaller:

Computers were not a mistake.

The Internet was not a mistake.

The mistake was allowing everything to be about money and power rather than community building.

Do this now! In all your web browsers, go to emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com/ and go to the section titled "Does your client still trust the compromised intermediates?" and look at the right-most "Result" column. If any say "❌ Connected", you need to update your SSL/TLS certificates now. This can affect email, banking, software updating, and anything that uses #SSL, #TLS, and #HTTPS.
Edit: You can also go to bgp.tools/ and see if it says "Your SSL/TLS stack is accepting certificates from a #CertificateAuthority tree that is totally #compromised" I think/hope that browsers and operating systems will auto update certificates ASAP but don't do anything private until you're sure they're updated #IMHO!

In the wake of the compromise of the eMudhra Intermediate CA, we strongly encourage all Mastodon administrators to make sure their systems are up-to-date.

For those using our official Mastodon container images, we just rebuilt them (with the same tags) so they contain the latest updates to the list of CA certificates. Please update them as soon as possible.

For more information about this compromise and ways to check if your server is impacted, please read emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com

Over and over again the research on cooperation says: human beings are highly cooperative.

But we don't believe it. WHY?

This massive global study (over 100k participants from 125 countries!) finds we are highly cooperative *and* that we underestimate others' cooperation. The likely reason is because as a species we survive with cooperation but the costs of potentially being betrayed are so high that we are over-vigilant about the possibility. This can be MOVED
