  • Mastodon will get end-to-end encryption for private messages thanks to Sovereign Tech Agency

  • Here's one post about it. I'm not one for direct messaging on social media personally. And on centralized services it's true that your direct messages can be seen by employees if they're sufficiently motivated or by court order, hacks, that sort of thing. But on mastodon both the administrator of your instance and the admins of the instances of the people you're messaging can see your direct messages. Since an instance can be set up quickly by just one person, there's higher likelihood of access. That person may have no qualms about accessing private info, they may have insufficient resources for proper security, or to fight legal efforts to access information. A large company will in theory have more concern about reputational risk if it's uncovered they've accessed private information than some individuals will. I know many people running instances take great pride and care in what they do, but that's not always true.

  • This is great. I think one critique of the fediverse is the lack of privacy, so it's a welcome development.

  • I think you need a fourth word for better timing. A person might misinterpret the duration between glarp and dook, and arrive at peow too early or late. Just one more timing sample is better to reduce human error.

  • Fuck these guys.

    It's also a really nice feeling to help someone jump a car, or help push a disabled car off the road. It's this short(ish) and well defined opportunity to do good, without much gray area of "is this the best course of action" or "am I making an impact" you get with longer and more complex activism.

  • If the instance is in the same country, a government can much more effectively exercise leverage against some guy running a server than a publicly traded corporation with lawyers on retainer.

    If it's not the same country maybe easier just to ignore.

    The best case in terms of privacy is just not collecting data. Something like mullvad vpn where they don't keep the sort of records that governments ask for.

    Unfortunately anti spam measures often involve collecting identifying information (like email addresses).

  • I think this is a misread of the article. They don't seem to be suggesting any actual solution, and only mention "populist rule" in passing with no specifics.

    But they do seem to be blaming the left for not doing anything about the problem. And I thought it was funny how at the top they were like "even liberals like Roberts"

  • Sorry for a casual, what do you mean cap at 60hz?

    I just use Firefox on Ubuntu, which fifteen years ago seemed like enough.

    Which also doesn't seem that casual, but this shit is too much to keep up with. Today my engineer dad was complaining about search engines having too many ads and I asked what he used, and he said besides Google on the one computer he uses Bing on the other.

  • I get you're saying that they adjust the 1963 cost for inflation. (vs tripling today's cost of food) I can't agree if that was enough in that time, because how would I know? But sure, let's say it was. It doesn't follow that adjusted for inflation it would be enough now.

    As the author wrote, there seems to be significantly more inflation in other expenses than in food. Doing the math on what we think are reasonable expenses can show what a "real" poverty line is.
