@astroroyalscot.bsky.social Sadly politicians and their advisers never seem to understand that we fund research to produce trained researchers, not intellectual property.

@randahl

Soon during voting - when the politician is on X certain voters will not vote for them - matter of time ...

@yhancik noooo

been a while since I've had a weekend without talking to my new partner... this will be difficult but it's for larp reasons so understandable 🙏🏻

hey gang, i know many of you use riseup and noblogs which is a service offered by autistici

the united states has issued sanctions against them and formally categorized then as terrorists:

https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/2026/08/designation-of-autistici-inventati-as-a-specially-designated-global-terrorist/

needless to say, service providers like riseup are in their sights, if they haven't already been popped! and be sure that anybody using their services are likewise on the menu for further action. this includes any emails on those providers' infrastructure (even if you use a custom email with them - the actual email provided is public info via dns) or websites hosted by them!

be aware of this when making your moves!

- i would not recommend publicly using an email for any known provider for anything that can be associated with your name
- i would not log into any of those services unless over tor or a vpn you trust to a high degree (including ssh etc)
- i would not host websites on their infra unless directly relates to activism
- i would absolutely never use their email services for anything sensitive, incriminating, or containing personal info (tbh this applies to all email including proton and tuta). i've reviewed their encrypted email stuff and it's lacking
- absolutely never use their vpn services

@Bonfire@bonfire.cafe This is great, for example for my band (would be cool to have this in some music platform). By default, I assume organisation members are private, right?

Japan's financial regulator is increasing scrutiny of ultralong mortgage lending by online banks and others as the country's housing market booms, according to a Financial Services Agency official. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/08/28/homes-loans-scrutiny-fsa/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #fsa #banks

@sebsauvage Ça fait bizarre des ombres bien chiadées comme ça sur un paysage en gros pixels.

@iwein @EUCommission Yeah, I have zero issues with non-proof-of-work cryptocurrency in theory (and many with the folks who are usually involved in these things and their companies) but the real challenge there is, again, usubility. You’re up against “press this button and we’re done” (Apple Pay, etc.) or, at worst, enter three numbers and press a button (credit card checkout, when done right).

That’s very hard to compete with using:

1. Find out how all this works
2. Get a wallet
3. Find an exchange
4. Fund your wallet (guess how – that easy system that works as described above)
5. Pay using your wallet
6. What? You sent someone your private key by mistake?… Oops!

I mean you have to either be really dedicated or entirely out of options to be using crypto right now (right libertarian get-rich-quick artists, aside.)

But yes, in theory… :)
