if you know me you know i love a good takedown of shoddy, irresponsible journalism. this one from @mmasnick is a banger.

I thought you agreed that the bounds of distributor liability were determined by the law (which I am advocating changing) and NOT the 1st Amendment. Are you know saying this is part of the constitution?

@DeanBaker13 @hardindr @molly0xfff Distributor liability is still bound by the 1st Amendment, because it's liability based on speech. Which means that, per multiple 1st Amendment lawsuits, there are standards of what it takes to make a distributor liable. And you.. acknowledge literally none of them.

frustrating to see headlines about a "$290 million" hack out of even reputable security media like @BleepingComputer. actual loss is probably a tenth of that, at most.

a good time to remind you about notional value in crypto: https://blog.mollywhite.net/cryptocurrency-market-caps-and-notional-value/

(the article in question: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackers-steal-290-million-in-crypto-from-playdapp-gaming-platform/)

nice, they updated the headline to "Hackers mint 1.79 billion crypto tokens from PlayDapp gaming platform"

@thomasfuchs i feel like i'm seeing a fair bit of sneering/overgeneralization of the users of the other platform on both platforms

mastodon rocks.
bluesky rocks.
i'm happy both exist.

few things more infuriating than being a terminal user and not having a CTRL key

Jackson,

@molly0xfff Accessing vendor specific device consoles through their web UI means I'm constantly closing that browser tab while hitting ctrl+w expecting to remove the previous word.

@molly0xfff I raise you: Terminal user and then getting a German or French keyboard, in a small form factor.

When people say you should "own your own data", or that the future of the web is "ownership", what does that mean?

We need to talk about digital ownership.

@molly0xfff apologies for not being able to find it, did try: who made the art that is the header image? And why doesn’t it show on the post when I click the link?

@molly0xfff sometimes it's hard to believe just how far server side technology has come in the past 20 years.

Badscrew,

@molly0xfff tried searching for some obscure tech, the results are heavily biased towards German language it seems. However it certainly finds pages that Google doesn’t find.

Motherboard found that firms linked to a16z and general partner Chris Dixon bought numerous copies of his new book promoting cryptocurrencies, which became an NYT Best Seller.

✅ gaming the NYT bestseller list
✅ buying full page print ads in WaPo
✅ elbowing onto Hard Fork, Pivot, other tech pods
✅ placing pre-pub features in Wired, Bloomberg, FT

smells a bit of desperation from a16z

" 'Wherever you get your podcasts' represents ... the triumph of exactly the kind of technology that's supposed to be impossible: open, empowering tech that's not owned by any one company, that can't be controlled by any one company, and that allows people to have ownership over their work and their relationship with their audience." 🤌 by @anildash

develin,

@molly0xfff @anildash That sounds like an excessively weak point when you actually answer the questions?

  • you find your websites via Google
  • you find your podcasts on iTunes or Spotify
    Even open standards don't protect against market concentration.
molly0xfff,
@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io avatar

@develin @anildash the degree of market concentration between search and podcasting isn't really comparable IMO

Review: In "Read Write Own", the Andreessen Horowitz general partner and web3 superfan Chris Dixon lays out an unconvincing argument that blockchains are what it will take to fix the web.

Enjoying posting this to Mastodon, which I have been informed by Chris Dixon is a failure.

He's real mad Mastodon won't use a blockchain, btw.

Nomadd,

@molly0xfff “How much could a single bay leaf possibly weigh?” -Me checking out a 5 pound bulk bag of bay leaves

Mistakes were made that day

molly0xfff,

@Nomadd i assume it was approximately the size of those bags people use for clearing raked leaves

_dm,

@molly0xfff If I tried, I'm sure I couldn't parody this stuff as well as Chris Dixon does.

The fact that he remains committed to the bit to the point of basing his entire professional career around it is really the cherry on top.

When he finally reveals that the whole thing was just performance art I am gonna laugh and laugh.
