@kevinswiber My thoughts on this are that we need to stop devaluing online relationships. Written communication can be just as rich, if not more, than verbal communication. Why is a relationship with the random person who moved into the home next door more important than the one with someone I met in an online community that has a shared interest? Just as society have dismissed remote work as been lesser than in person, we are going to discover that digital friendships are valuable

@jacob @mcc @mathew (kind of disagree here, you can reason this one easily). If it’s technically possible - and law enforcement of ANY and ALL regions are involved (at any time now or in the future, and don’t forget secret services): assume yes, they could access.
It’s an optional feature per account, if you don’t want that happening, keep it non-dead-man-switched, or have separate accounts.

I am once again asking you to stop using LastPass. The company has a history of security issues dating back years, and has yet to make holistic security improvements — or heck even investigate incidents properly.
Good alternatives:
- 1Password is my #1 rec, best for most use cases
- Bitwarden if you want open source
- KeePassXC if you want local vaults and open source
- I hear ok things about Dashlane but don’t know a ton

PARENT: "Have you finished writing your letter to Santa?"
CHILD: "I don't believe in Santa anymore. Now I believe in a decentralized network of independently operating elves who federate using an open protocol called ActivityPub to share information about children's Christmas wishes and source gifts to fulfill them"

Washington Post will be creating their own instance. They will add #mastodon accounts to journalist profiles.
Institutional #journalism embracing the #fediverse is important.

An Israeli-made electric vehicle designed to fly commuters on short trips made its maiden unmanned flight. The company said AIR ONE will be able to carry two people and is expected to hit market at the end of 2024 https://reut.rs/3YK32uL

This old tree produces no leaves, shows no sign of life but it's home to many creatures. A thing of beauty in my eyes.

RT from Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD)
47. And the pressure from the FBI on social media platforms continues
In Aug 2022, Twitter execs prepared for a meeting with the FBI, whose goal was “to convince us to produce on more FBI EDRs"
EDRs are an “emergency disclosure request,” a warrantless search.

Sea surface temperatures this year (the top, black trajectory) on the far northern #GreatBarrierReef are hotter in Oct/Nov than any early summer on record. https://coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/data/vs/ts_figures/ts_multi_year/vs_ts_multiyr_gbr_far_northern.png
If this keeps up, NOAA is predicting another mass coral bleaching event, as early as January. https://twitter.com/profterryhughes/status/1595927137059381248
@jeff we know twitter is faster than the P-waves but the fediverse beats them all.

GoFundMe wouldn't let me sign in without adding my phone number for SMS 2FA so I got them to delete my account over live chat using email verification.
Please use any other MFA except SMS. 🙏
