@malwaretech Besides Mastodon, It's kind of interesting when this URL handling happens in a supposedly encrypted chat session.

A Strange Thing Happens to Wolves Infected by Infamous Mind-Altering Parasite : ScienceAlert

A study of 26 years' worth of wolf behavioral data, and an analysis of the blood of 229 wolves, has shown that infection with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii makes wolves 46 times more likely to become a pack leader.

@matthew_d_green I think a way forward is to not use centralized cryptocurrency exchanges at all, instead use the cryptocurrency directly as means of payment or independent traders for exchange (decentralized, as it was in the beginning of Bitcoin).

Sp I wrote a pretty lengthy blog post entitled:

# Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon, Found to Support Nazi's Agenda

Sadly I wish it was clickbait.

You can all read it here:

It is the pinnacle of the recent drama. I will also be sharing it on twitter, linking the joinmastodon account there. I tried to include most of the evidence in the article. Hopefully this will have some positive result

@Gargron @trinsec @khird

@freemo @Gargron @trinsec @khird Looks like the Mastodon CEO took the path of least resistance, by doing so he lost integrity. Perhaps it's better to ignore joinmastodon[.]org than to bother being listed on their site? Lacking integrity might mean they sell out in other ways as well, such as allowing government control, increase censorship, etc.

Good morning all. Would love to hear from people doing (and posting about) applied #cryptography out in the world. Yes, that includes cryptocurrencies as long as the work is interesting.

@freemo @Gargron @khird @trinsec I think sticking with the open federation policy is good, making it up to the user who to block is the correct way to approach the problem. BTW: Is the Twitter migration to Mastodon about the need for free speech or censorship?

“Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech.”
― Noam Chomsky

@marcan I think the "Nazis are welcome trend" increased with the war in Ukraine, as people who support Ukraine have to indirectly support Nazis (or at least deny it's bad).

I finally managed to get modem emulation working on the C64 core in the Mister. I have now enjoyed myself by logging in to C64 BBS'es.

Some people would say it's a waste of time. I on the other hand found it incredibly relaxing, and the first time in a very long time that I have just enjoyed myself in front of a computer without distractions.

@marcan Potentially a large number. ;) Thinking about the Twitter algorithm; the closer to the truth, the less followers.

Now I wish for a pet crow! Apparently they mimic like parrots too!
