A funny anecdote
Me and some friends were playing Call of Cthulhu in a park.
We were under some roof as it's raining.
A warm but gray kind of day. Perfect to play COC in the deserted park.
Under that roof was a few tables, all empty except for one at the other end where a lonely teenage girl was sitting alone, wearing a bright t-shirt and holding some balloons A sign near her was promoting some activities for kids.
We smile at her, but she react in a kinda shy way so we didn't insist.
(6 men over 40 vs a lonely skinny teen girl could appears threatening so we just ignored her from now on)
Yet she stayed for hours.
A few month later.
My friend is at a game shop and he overheard a conversation between a bunch of teens
"I learned about this game by listening to some old men playing in a park. Now I DM my own Call of Cthulhu group", said one off the girls...
How cool is that? 😂
Interesting.
I saw a video with a single like. It was some copro shit, that should have had much more engagement. I disliked it, and checked an entire day later.
My dislike is literally gone.
Well, I knew youtube was fucking with numbers, but I didn't expect them to do it so obviously.
@gabek @evan I think I have something that can fit your requirements.
I have been building cryptographic infrastructures for 30 years now, I made contributions to PKIX, WebPKI and SAML. For the past 4 years I have been working on what I consider the unfinished business - PKI for end users.
Since I can’t be bothered to do usability testing, I have adopted the principle that there must be absolutely no additional steps required to achieve security. So E2E chat must look exactly the same to the user as regular chat, which Signal showed is possible. Same for configuring mail clients for S/MIME, OpenPGP, etc.
I am currently working on adding end to end secure chat. From there, there is a really easy bridge to end to end secure voice and video by leveraging WebRTC. My original plan was for this to be phase 3 or 4 but I brought that forward due to the bird site fiasco and the UK criminalization of cryptography bill.
The Mesh is an open service so anyone can run a Mesh service, users of one service can interact with users of any other service just like with SMTP email. It is also possible for users to switch from one provider to another without switching costs. All the specs are open and the reference code is open source.
The protocol suite currently supports 2FA, contact exchange, bookmarks and password management, all completely E2E secure with a 2120 or better work factor throughout. It is not currently PQC but that can be added later.
My long term goal is to allow each Internet user to obtain permanent personal identifiers which do not expire or require any renewal fees. It is not possible to do this for free at a global level and do it right. But I can do it to an absurd degree of fidelity for $0.10 per name which seems fair in comparison to the cost of ICANN names. We will have to spin up a not for profit to manage that and stop people turning it into another yacht buying fund.
@gnu2 everything comes to an end sooner or later.
My point was, when all this comes to an end, it won't be because one central authority decided to turn off the switch.
My #Samsung tablet (2022 model)'s GPS is weird.
It's accurate within the first 700 meters when I started tracking.
Then it's off by 50 meters LON after that. Then it will be off by 5 meters LAT later.
My #Strava attempts are failing. T_T
It's making solo #running less fun.
So far, the most accurate #GPS I've found are from #Nokia and #realme phones. Unfortunately, both are no longer usable. RealMe was my most recent phone, but an official October update messed it up, and started restarting (even after reverting to factory).
I should get a sportswatch with a built-in GPS, or a dedicated phone with a good GPS, just for running.
@inumay While that is certainly late, It's still fine, some people start talking later.
My youngest sister also started talking relatively late (in stages, first in the house, much later at the day-care, and much much later, pronouncing more sounds, such as the "r" sound).
