This account will be DMN's principal brand presence on Mastodon. For the next couple months you can mostly expect news and discussion of the 402-Receipts standard: 402receipts.info
Everything's still quite up in the air. A lot of usage details will vary from one implementation to another, and there are some implementation details that need to be standardized right away. Let us know if you'd like to get involved!
@intrepidduckling@mastodon.club many of these are +adorable. the artist doesn't seem to have a proper website though.

also their attempt to chain the entire comic together in one twitter thread are a total failure.

I think I might stop answering questions about what camera I'm using. A kind of aged-grain from using shit old lenses aside, the only pics it makes a difference with is the birds, the rest it's inconsequential. The constant focus on equipment instead of understanding I have a good grasp of light and composition is frustrating. Some of my best photos this year were taken with a 3yo mobile phone. It's not the camera.

You should not be able to get a blood moon on Eventide Island. This just feels unfair.
We're trying to introduce new ways for people to support each other online.
Can people help us validate our sense of how people _want_ to pay for access to websites?
This survey just asks about your experiences with advertisements, pay-walls, ad-blockers, and crowd-funding services. It seems to take people about three minutes.
kinda excited for the next Alexandra Quick book.

If the series ever complete's it'll be over fifteen years in the making. The existing four books were excellent.

@ashfurrow not necessarily
if the object is undefined or false or empty string or zero instead of null, it will actually cause your computer to set itself on fire

Hey Mastodon, my city is one of the only Municipalities in the US providing govt assistance to asylum seekers, and we need help. If you have a bit, could you consider donating? http://www.portlandmaine.gov/1554/Support-Asylum-Seekers

Chère Montreal, your cycleways are amazing.
It's kinda neat to realize that the difference between a partially-blind and fully-blind signature scheme is (in this context) just a performance concern. We certainly want to figure out a (elliptical or bilinear or lattice) partially-blind solution, but that won't be included in version-0 of the 402-Receipts standard, and that's fine.
For the first version of the standard, we're going to keep this as simple as we possibly can, given that no out-of-the-box solutions seem to exist: a fully-blind RSA signature:

With the debate over #Microsoft #Windows vs #GNU #Linux raging on, I look at why Windows is unquestionably the top choice in the foreseeable in terms of ease, #accessibility, and #ethics. Noble as #FOSS advocacy is, can it really compete, especially among #women, going forward?

FOSS
Not to say people shouldn't work on those projects, because they should. But if we want a world where it's not just the most tech savvy who are using these projects then we need a much broader reaching project than I think the FOSS community sees itself as.
But that's only because right now I think we don't have an actual base inside of the war against tech capital, i.e: unions and an independent political party. Once we have those things, maybe this won't seem so abstract.
On the one hand, I feel like we're starting _too_ far back here.

On the other hand, I don't think we can skimp on our understanding of the fundamentals.
I just _really_ hope it pays off.
‽ True or False ‽
There are three serious families of cryptography maths, with similar capabilities but trade-offs in different kinds of performance and strengths against differently-abled adversaries:
- RSA
- Elliptic
- Lattice

@fennifith @DMN @ashfurrow Totally agreed on whoever is willing to host such services for the community deserves a big thank you.

I guess it's the same reason I find mastodon & other "decentralized social networks" interesting, because not everybody has to commit to one single service with one client and one UX, and yet nothing is split up as a result. It all works together. Mostly.
