"We believe it’s important for Mastodon to be good as a product on its own merits, and not just because of its ideology. If we only attract people who already care about decentralization, our ability to make decentralization mainstream becomes that much harder."

@givemefoxes i largely agree with this. and i think there are some things that could go towards alleviating the fears around increasing centralization, too, like prioritizing account portability

@SylvieLorxu i think there's still a lot that differentiates mastodon and twitter that would make a twitter-style takeover unlikely and unsuccessful. i do like the idea of a pool of default servers, though!

Apparently, @molly0xfff is now considered enough of a household name that spammers start impersonating her when sending out SEO link spam. 😱

@molly0xfff thought this might be up your street: https://weukraine.tv/haker-vkrav-majzhe-1000-gamantsiv-z-bitkoyinamy-rosijskyh-spetssluzhb/ a Ukrainian hacker destroyed bitcoin wallets owned by FSB agents with 300k USD before the war, they now did it again, on 1000 bitcoin wallets part destroying and part sending the money to victims of the war. The article cites a Chainalysis investigation.

8 years of web dev for money and I'm still unclear on when I should use a 401 versus a 403 response. (I don't want an answer, even if you give it to me I Will Forget)

@Eramdam I like to tell myself that I'm saving brain space for important things by not memorizing things I can easily Google, but let's be real the brain space isn't going to important things either

finally wrote that crossposter to automate syndicating W3IGG posts to its various social feeds. going to save me so much time.

check out its first automated toot! https://indieweb.social/@web3isgreat/110280625945133023

i guess today's the day i finally work on the code to automate @web3isgreat's social posting. manually posting to two social networks sucked but doing three is going to be excruciating

@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io avatar

@CatherineFlick @web3isgreat i like it so far! chaotic vibe, and very alpha in terms of features, but if you're cool with that it's fun

@mikeofmany @web3isgreat twitter, mastodon, and now bluesky

@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io avatar

@lorentz most likely python

molly0xfff,
@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io avatar

@bobulous @web3isgreat the latter, but there's an extremely pared-down free API that may work. or i'll just do it the rude way lol

    Ted Cruz says "I'm a Bitcoin investor personally. I have a standing buy order. Every morning I have a buy of Bitcoin that comes in... I own a little more than 2 BTC."

    Per his STOCK Act disclosures he bought btwn 0.4 and 1.4 BTC in Jan 2022. Hasn't disclosed any purchases since.

    video/mp4

    molly0xfff,

    Few possibilities here.

    1. He's not filing his disclosures.
    2. He's lying to play to his Bitcoiner audience
    3. He bought the remaining 0.6 – 1.6 BTC ($17,400 – $46,400) within the last 30 days
    4. He's buying <$1,000 in BTC each week. As I understand it the STOCK Act only requires a Periodic Transaction Report of purchases >$1,000 (regardless of how often they're made, which seems like a crazy loophole!) But I could be wrong on this, please correct if so

    Senators have to file annual disclosures which would give more detail, but he requested an extension for his so he doesn't have to file until mid-August.

    This clip is from the Bitcoin Policy Summit, which is a "one-day, invite-only policy conference exploring Bitcoin as a strategic opportunity for the United States" that boasted Cruz, Sen. Cynthia Lummis, Rep. Tom Emmer, and former Rep. Tim Ryan as speakers.

    @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io avatar

    @derekso yep

    molly0xfff,
    @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io avatar

    If it turns out to be option 1, that he's not filing the required disclosures, he could be fined... $200

    No, I didn't forget any 0s.

    @molly0xfff I presume TF edited out your strong defense of Mastodon when Milo said it was only for the worst people from Twitter 😉

    @akd 😂 i like mastodon quite a bit but milo's not wrong on that one
