@Ms_nitro@mastodon.praxis.red if you're already self-hosting, I think you'd have a blast at @lansing2600@mastodon.praxis.red meetings.

@wheresalice@woof.tech @hopeconf@mastodon.online truuuuuue lmao Also find and join other 2600 chapters' public Matrix channel(s) to stay in touch and do a little cross-pollinating! Come say hi to Lansing 2600 at #2600-lansing-general:praxis.red !

@evacide@hachyderm.io Boooooooooooooo

@simonzerafa@infosec.exchange @evacide@hachyderm.io  I think you mean "anonymity" rather than "privacy". No corporation is immune to legal compulsion. If you link a credit card to an account of any type, it will show up in all kinds of metadata via credit card companies and data brokers, and the banking records will forever deanonymize the account. So yes, pay for a ProtonMail account with CC if you want, but use a free one if you want *anonymity* in addition to privacy.

@evacide@hachyderm.io Yael is so cool! I met her at HOPE and tried to not be a starstruck nerd haha.

#System76's Carl Richell laying out the realities of the new age verification laws in #Colorado and #California: https://blog.system76.com/post/system76-on-age-verification "Most System76 employees installed operating systems and created accounts on their computer when they were under 18. They did this out of curiosity. Many started writing software. Some were already writing operating systems. [...] Limiting a child’s ability to explore what they can do with a computer limits their future." #AgeVerification #PolicyFailures

@lasombra_br@mas.to @evacide@hachyderm.io you'd think so, but a surprising amount of people don't realize a credit card immediately deanonymizes whatever they pay for with a card.

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place hacking Nibbles with teleportation portals, power-ups, barriers, different wall types (bouncy walls!) and other stuff is what got me into programming.

@ohmu@social.seattle.wa.us @Tutanota@mastodon.social Yes. No corporation is immune to legal compulsion.

@evacide@hachyderm.io if the first words out of their mouth when speaking to non-nerds about privacy aren't some approachable onboarding prelude to threat modelling, I don't even bother sharing it.

@kagihq@mastodon.social Linux soon?

@kagihq@mastodon.social Congratulations on your milestone. I'm hopeful for a Linux release soon so I can try Orion on a privacy-respecting OS.

@asterisk@social.linux.pizza @marti@social.martiabernathey.com @dansup@mastodon.social this sounds like a deep misconception about the goals of these projects and a key pillar of fediverse resilience: separation of concerns and proliferation of services and instances of those services. The thing you think is a bug is actually an incredibly desirable feature. It keeps us safe from One Ring to Rule Them All.

@dynom@toot.community @evacide@hachyderm.io downplaying what Jeffrey Epstein was to "convicted rapist" is like calling Facebook a "website where people talk". Don't be a jerkoff.

Greater Lansing DSA is running a survey on "groups doing good" in the greater Lansing area and wants your input: https://surveys.praxis.red/gldsa-good-groups

RE: https://mastodon.online/@2600/116994361375060040 Holy shit, Cindy Cohn will be speaking at #hope26 . Let's goooooooooooooooooo

@evacide@hachyderm.io do we know if they can be blinded by IR flares, floods, or LEDs?

@CachyOS@fosstodon.org hyped to see what April brings!

@BenAveling@infosec.exchange @faraiwe@mstdn.social this question is a fascinating tell. With it, you have suggested that all humans lack conscience, empathy, or sufficient character and ethical maturity to behave responsibly toward their community even when they could behave harmfully with little-to-no personal consequence. You may want to get checked for ASPD.

@dynom@toot.community @evacide@hachyderm.io :trollpet: AI profile pic.

@EmZaid@infosec.exchange do both local and Google DNS give the same records? My hunch is they don't and Google DNS is sending you to a nearby CDN.

@forgejo@floss.social please link the referenced blog post? Thanks!

@midtsveen@kolektiva.social @luckychronic@mastodon.social @nsf_iaa@snabelen.no that's okay. I've been organizing and building community for 40 years and am used to people disagreeing with me. If you want to discuss more you know where to find me.

RE: https://mastodon.praxis.red/@siv/110539605654967726 And redirect it to DNS over TLS via quad9.net, since they are pretty solid! On Android, you can also set up custom private DNS to point to tls://quad9.net .

@luckychronic@mastodon.social @midtsveen@kolektiva.social @nsf_iaa@snabelen.no you don't disagree with me at all. Life happens where and how it does. It is contextual and ephemeral. It obeys no Platonic solids of belief, despite what the conceptual mind may try to argue. Do what gets you and your communities closer to liberation, health, and happiness.

@evacide@hachyderm.io aaaand the two other people here just said "hell yeah!"

@JamesBaker are you open to a little discussion about this or nah? The teachers I've been hearing from have some reasonable concerns about the effect short-form content and generative AI are having on cognitive development. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/13/youtubes-ceo-is-latest-tech-boss-limiting-his-kids-social-media-use.html

@pluralistic@mamot.fr this is so fucking funny.

@EmZaid@infosec.exchange This is the way of Perl.

@midtsveen@kolektiva.social @luckychronic@mastodon.social @nsf_iaa@snabelen.no you can just do both. Hard line ideology is masturbatory and delusional when it gets in the way of liberation. Electoral politics is like dumpster diving, one tool in the kit of an adapting and evolving human living in radical agency. Use it when it would help, don't when it wouldn't.

@shelby@mastodon.denike.io I'm busy with bootstrapping a new org rn so haven't had time to work on it. There's a ton of relays out there already btw.

@dynom@toot.community @evacide@hachyderm.io Have fun dying on that hill. Be sure to bring those concerns to your coworkers, friends, family, and Mossad handler. I'm sure they will be well received by at least one of those categories.

@midtsveen@kolektiva.social hey I get it! Truly! We can disagree and still keep solidarity. It's busy out there right now. Keep organizing and stay safe out there comrade!
