Last year, more than 10,000 people in 🇨🇦 spoke out against #BillC2 - and we stopped it.
#BillC22 is even worse; and so far, only 7,000 people have spoken up. If you live in 🇨🇦 and value your privacy, please activate your network against #BillC22 today.

Let's try something fun for my fellow lovers of the living world: paint an ecological portrait of where you live (with words!), focusing on native plants and wildlife, geological features, anything natural you want, without actually saying where you live or naming particular sites or features. Then others can guess what part of the world you're describing (in as broad or as narrow a way as they wish to: from an individual region of a province/state, to a whole continent). What do you think??
(If you already know where someone lives, please don't "guess," that's cheating! :)
@joe there may be some potential similarities between cryptosystems and microkernel isolation. i think ARM MTE in grapheneos (and ios which failed to credit them) is an example of this. wish i could speak less vaguely on this, hardware is just so complex aaaaaa
@joe i think sel4 is probably something i wanna study closely (it's why i mention the military applications part above) bc i'm under the impression that's really where a lot of research into this has gone

Seeing a poll for the people of a country I don’t live in, and then replying to say “I would never vote for {partyName} there” is…
a bit odd
I'll start: I live surrounded by sugar and silver maples, eastern hemlock and balsam poplar, occasional stands of shagbark hickory and yellow birch. At just slightly higher elevations and sandier, rockier soil, the eastern white pines thrive. In spring the woods are filled with red and white trilliums, and yellow trout lilies, and the vernal pools sing with spring peepers, wood frogs, and boreal chorus frogs. Beavers and muskrats populate the marshes, ponds, and lakes. Three species of terns can be seen along the major rivers--common, Caspian, and black--along with six species of swallows--tree, cliff, bank, barn, northern rough-winged, and purple martins.
Where am I?
last boosts: i might have to migrate to a GoToSocial instance, and various moots and followers can guess at why
if you happen to know of a good one, lmk?

Cis folk - have you ever had even the most fleeting thought to change your name? To what? For any reason. Just cool. Connection. Vibes. Whatever.
Do it.
@NanoRaptor Not entirely a name change, but I’ve pondered going by Ash. I do it sometimes when ordering stuff. Less collision prone than Mike.
are computers invented or discovered?
@Em0nM4stodon That's Interaction Policies, and I've heard Mastodon is looking into doing this, just not sure when. Their canQuote is being pulled into GoToSocial to go along with their canReply, canLike, canAnnounce (boost):
https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/v0.21.2/federation/interaction_controls/
My default interaction policy for replies is exactly what you say:
Anyone can like, anyone can boost, however to reply either I follow you, or you follow me, in which case replies are automatic, or else I manually approve the reply.
You can configure the reply policy as a default for all posts, and then you can even (if the software supports it) do interaction policies for specific posts. Like if you want to disallow all replies, for instance.

@jimmyjamesuk And to be clear, by “corrupts itself” I mean Time Machine itself says that it can no longer back up to the destination, and it instructs you to start a new backup, abandoning all past backups. I’m not aware of any reliable way to recover from this situation without doing as it suggests.
@siracusa and these are local backup? Not network backups?
So as I look to next year, I'm so grateful to my colleagues at CAT Lab, Cornell, @knightcolumbia,
@transparenttech, and so many more for the encouragement and support that have put me in a position to make the Radcliffe Institute Fellowship a meaningful contribution on tech & rights <3
@natematias Oh how wonderful, congratulations. My partner works at Harvard (academic administrator in life biosciences) and once you're in the area (he lives in Arlington) I'd love to introduce you two.
@joe i will also note that OSXFUSE requiring an apple signature was used to extort twitter inc when we needed to make some changes necessary for our git virtual file system. so i will say that DRM is an alluring solution to this but without oversight can be used to harm security (which google and microsoft are imho much more guilty of). reducing the need for elevated permissions seems to be the path of righteousness. the problem then becomes a matter of API design

Goddammit, they learned how to read. 😩
@mlp good idea thanks! Think I’ll be able to make that work, I just need to rotate one of the boards by 180° to align the board to board connectors. The Amphenol BergStak 0.5mm are quite new on the market and it looks like only Element14 has them in stock. Spending almost $2.00 on the pair of board to board connectors is definitely A Consideration.
