On behalf of the board, thank you again for your incredible and heartwarming support. Our sustainability as a nonprofit and as a Mastodon instance is fully secured, with no burden on our admins or users.

Exciting and even bigger things are on the way - we will share the timeline and details at a later date. Here is a hint: thanks to our sponsors, we can optimize things even further. To be continued...

@molly0xfff that's some of the most demented shit I've read in my life.

It reminded me of an episode in Lie to Me, where a tech billionaire wants his actress (as i recall? Maybe model) girlfriend looked into before he marries her, because he suspects his money is part of the attraction. They confirm it is, and he's about to yeet her, but Loker catches up to him and says "but you are in it at least partly for her beauty/body. How the hell is that any different?!"

@stefano this is amazing, congrats!

@Shibanarchiste Bravo Macron alors? La décroissance c'est bien non on est pour?

Has any project using @Liberapay been designated a terrorist entity by the US government before yesterday?

Key Management Problem: In a network of n users, every pair of users must share a secret key, for a total of n(n - 1)/2 keys.

if you read the DH 1976 paper you keep seeing how people cynically rip off its attempts to describe complexity-theoretical statements of privacy and security more methodically. in this case this line doesn't even make sense outside the context of public-key cryptography with DH!

We have a chatroom on Matrix, which is an open source end-to-end encrypted messaging platform. It is federated like Mastodon, with different instances. We do not currently provide an open Matrix instance for others than admins (this might change in the future), but there are plenty of instances to choose from.

The room is invite-only for members, but we can send you an invite link.

Here is how to get in:
1. Create an account on an instance. Here are some options: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/hosting/ or for Finnish speakers: https://www.pikaviestin.fi/
2. Once you have a user account, update your Matrix ID in your profile here: https://members.mementomori.social/matrix
3. Let us know or wait for an invite.

Remember to install Element or Fluffychat on your phone so you have member discussions with you everywhere. See you there!

"Wat veroorzaakte de dodelijke #overstroming in #Nepal en #Tibet? ‘#Klimaatverandering schiep hiervoor de voorwaarden’"

En een aanwijsbare groep mensen schiep (en verdedigt met passie) de voorwaarden voor de deze klimaatverandering.

We made a comic about Fox News.

Been a while...

I think the last time I used a floppy (read: a lot of floppies) was to install Monkey Island or Slackware Linux

Who decided to call the javascript package manager NPM and not GIT2JIT?

These days it's getting harder and harder to not have SOME part of your software stack or dependencies graph touching "problematic" shit - whether slop or racists or zionists or whatever.

@Unlikelylass I knew some Zaurus folks who swore by it, but by that point I was deep in MS-DOS land with a second hand hp200LX.

Hello from #Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧. Enjoying a nice “Full Scottish” breakfast in the Caledonian Sleeper #DiningCar Café as well as the beautiful scenery. What a ride!

A bunch of companies who stand to directly financially benefit from AI hype are hyping AI cyber attacks - which aren’t based on operational reality. Every organisation in this list is irresponsible, and clueless.
