PSA: Signal isn't Good Enough(tm). Phone numbers as identifiers, and unfederated, unavoidable third-party servers are dealbreakers for many. -

@aral @matrix @purism ...but @fairphone has had a different focus? Labour rights and materials sourcing, specifically? There are many "right paths", which help and reinforce each other, and it working hard on many of them at once can be a better use of resources than disparaging the "wrong" work that is not what _you_ consider to be the _most_ important. -

ACC.umu.se is looking for fun project to host to beef up their bandwidth usage. Currently major mirrors of Debian, Firefox, Ubuntu, GNOME, and a number of other major FLOSS projects. They currently fill their 20G pipe only rarely, so they'd like some more, in order to argue for a 100G pipe eventually :)
Ideas from the !fediverse? -

@gargron @technowix @aral Even if there were no charges, the things that he and his lawyer has agreed that he's done is shit behaviour which he hasn't afaik apologized. Instead, he's accused the women he treated badly to be CIA plants. -

@clacke That is a tricky level. As I recall, the trick is to kite the frigates judiciously. Also fighters rather than caps.
Also, it _does_ work on Linux. Pretty damn well iirc. -

So, more voting machine hacking shenanigans at DEFCON. All of which misses the point completely.
Elections and democracy are tools for legitimacy, not for governance. By this I mean that governing and deciding stuff using the tools of democracy is objectively suboptimal, to say the least. Benevolent dictatorships or technocracies are both much more efficient and make potentially much better decisions depending on the people involved (and their incentives).
What the democratic processes _do_ provide, however, is legitimacy in the eyes of all but a small proportion of the population, and thus you should focus on keeping that intact. _Even if_ the e-voting machines were uncrackable bastions of cryptographic excellence, the fact that their internal processes are black boxes for 99% of the population means that their legitimacy would be questionable.
If you want to help democracy, make the processes simple and transparent, and help pay for them to be so. -

First part of the Renhornen Germany tour has been completed (the one mostly in Sweden..) - so far a number of fun gigs and quite a few beers and other beverages. Gin Russchian is a new favourite.
Now we go to Berlin, but our gig was cancelled.. Anyone got somewhere for us to play either tomorrow or on tuesday? Poke director@renhornen.com or me somehow. renhornen at various social media platforms, including youtube, for a bunch of examples of our output.
Otherwise I might drop by cbase at some point, or smth. :) -

Living in northern Sweden is weird sometimes. Today I was walking home from the bus reading by ambient light.
At 10PM.
With snow on the ground, which was the weirdest part - it's usually almost all melted away at this point. -

Disassembly and reassembly of a Regent 30-G guitar amp. Seems to be mostly the pots that are busted actually, but they're kind of weird, and apparently structurally important :) !umehack !elektronik https://social.umeahackerspace.se/attachment/171688 -

@deadsuperhero @gargron @kevinmarks @bea @ronkjeffries ~ as group marker is horrible for non-US keyboards. Bang syntax is old and _very_ well established standard. Please don't break it. -

@indecisivetwat @b_cavello This doesn't _really_ make sense on a code level, but in GNU Social and the rest of the Fediverse there's these things called Groups which is similar, in some sense.
You join a group like !tzag, or !makita , and then when you tag in the group (with the bang) the post goes to any and all members of the group, no matter if they follow you or not.
I made a post about them sometimes early in the latest migration, I'll see if I can dig it out. -

@sim @lambadalambda @melonbread @notjeff I think a controlled market generally benefits those who control the market, which is why I am in favour of a democratic state that is acutely aware of its role in opposing the monopolistic tendencies of capitalist free markets - that is, the tendency for large companies to become even larger over time, through mergers, vertical integration, dirty tricks, bribes, market lockout, timed obsolences of vital parts, buyout of competitors, and in the case everything else fails lowering of price below the point of profitability using large cash reserves or loans to force out the competitors who will not be bought out.
Which monopolies in socialist countries are you thinking of in particular? Infrastructure tends to be a natural monopoly, so should be state-owned and controlled generally. -

So I was part of a pretty cool thing last year called #MTFBerlin. Now there's a video! Check it out! https://youtu.be/ueYwDGosxiM
Good vibes and memories :)
musictechfest.net for details
The director of the festival (@dubber) is actually here in the fediverse since a few days back :) -

@rysiek @mmn @tomas @mikael @zash @catninja are (part of) the !umehack gang, and good people :)
@maiyannah and @fl0wn are people I don't necessarily agree with all the time who are decidedly outside the Mastodon club, but I've managed to have civil discussions with both. Not sure if you can follow them from your instance though...
@lambadalambda @clacke @sargoth and @str4d may also interest you in various ways. -

@lambadalambda @csaurus ...Where is the OStatus standard by the way? I tried to find it earlier, but ostatus.org is a site for Rollercoaster Tycoon cheats nowadays, and some wiki.w3c.org links were dead...
