How cool would it be to import fedidb.org stats into TradingView and predict mass amounts of user increase to prepare correctly when things hit the road!

Should worth a try.

Has anyone talked about how helpful would be for whistleblowers to have a time capsule for themselves that encrypts the data until the time arrives, and if it arrives notifies the user about it again? This way it would be way harder to trace back to them one or two documents, because they maybe wouldn't even work there anymore. I know SecureDrop aims to achieve that, but the problem is not everyone uses it. I've been thinking something that you have control over of. What do you think?

Slides of my talk "Mastodon - join the Fediverse", from yesterdays @nntokyo .

Maybe you know someone who is in the market to look at a new social network?
slides: https://fluxcoil.net/files/speeches/20231117%20Mastodon%20Join%20the%20Federation.pdf
recording: https://tokyo.nerdnite.com/video-nerd-nite-tokyo-54-united-federation-of-planetoids/

I was worried some pieces might be to technical and require to much prior knowledge - but judging from the questions, this was just the right tech level. Great questions!

So I was thinking..

You got those people with their NFT's that are actually just images...

I could, or i did make a "showroom" where i can put up "stolen" NFTs :flan_laugh:

I simply made a screenshot from some random NFT and displayed it

gmate8,
@gmate8@mastodon.online avatar

@stux I know it's been fun making fun of people that own NFTs, but whenever you make a parody out of them, remember, NFT doesn't mean you can't use these pictures for whatever you like, NFTs mean the picture you use is owned by a wallet / person, verified on the blockchain. Pure technology, but being misused by a lot. Just think about Tor: you won't say Tor is a criminal network, just because criminals obviously want to hide their activity with Tor.

Oh, and no, I don't own any NFTs by the way.

gmate8,
@gmate8@mastodon.online avatar

@stux yeah that's right, but some of the blockchain technologies yet do allow to upload not only the reference number but the complete file; however, I am not sure if that means an image though. :BlobhajShock:

Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin will be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 ().

The new manifest will prevent using custom filters and stops on demand updates of blocklist. Only authorized updates to browser extension will be allowed in the future, which mean an automatic win for Google in their battle to stop YouTube .

is deceitful and threatening to your privacy, and now is a good time to switch to (@mozilla) and/or (@torproject) if you haven't done so already!

EFF (@eff) on Googleโ€™s Manifest V3:

Chrome Manifest V3 Transition Timeline (2023-11-16)

๐Ÿšฉโ https://developer.chrome.com/blog/resuming-the-transition-to-mv3/

EDIT for clarification: MV3 in Chrome will still allow some ad blocking extensions, but will severely limit their blocking ability and even restricts pre-set filters to 50 MAX.

So apparently Google is blocking uBlock from Chrome.

I hereby rebrand Google Chrome as "Google Firefox Downloader".

@maleandroids @selzero @schmidt yeah... until it gets into the wrong hands and from it's proprietary nature, it gets enshittified irreversibly. I like the guys made Vivaldi but after we've pretty much raised the alarms and it still looks like they don't understand the importance of a free and open source license in software development nowadays, I am not sure of the future of it.
