Own your identity, own your data!

DScan v4.0 leverages Web3Storage's w3up-client, incorporating #DIDs and #UCAN to create a robust framework for decentralized authentication and authorization.

DScan is the fastest way to store and share data over #IPFS directly from browsers.

Make no mistake, the massive layoffs are intentional SHORT TERM sabotage by business decision makers with the goal of LONG TERM benefits for them.

They're trying to drive down the costs of labor. Specifically, they're firing everyone so that we'll accept lower wages upon rehire.

In #infosec, this will backfire on them.

By firing everyone, the level of security technical debt will increase that they'll have to hire everyone AND THEN SOME back at even higher rates.

So. Neat. Fucking great.

In the mean time, research how to create unions. Start doing so. Tech folks and infosec are not used to needing collective bargaining. You need it now.

Learn about the concepts of Economic Leverage and how it works as an individual contributor and when that fails how Collective Leverage works. The whole "if you fire that one person, we all quit" sort of thing works.

You all hack systems every day. You all study Social Engineering and combat it every day.

Hack the labor market. Socially engineer our mutual protection.

I beg of you, web site designers, just let me scroll through a page and stop trying to make my scroll-wheel the hand-crank of your obnoxious hurdy-gurdy of a marketing presentation

every new user being shocked that DMs aren’t actually private is kinda scary because it means that everybody just assumes DMs on other platforms are private

because they aren’t. the only difference between fedi and other social media is that fedi admins don’t have a vested interest in making you think DMs are private

What Apple is going to do to PWAs in less than two weeks in the EU is dastardly.

Their goal is to remove the only versions of Push, Fullscreen, Homescreen Icons, and Badging that didn't require paying them to be in the App Store *and make sure no other browser can have them either*.

They tried to sneak it under the noise of the alt-store drama, in a clearly premeditated fashion.

It's no exaggeration to say they've gone to war with the web & we don't owe the benefit of the doubt ever again.

Hot take that I only partially believe, but that is made unnecessarily inflammatory for the sake of social media brevity:

Nearly every bad thing in tech traces back to that the tech sector is one of the first to grow in post-Reagan disruption of labor rights and antitrust regulations, such that it is uniquely concentrated in a few unaccountable effective monopolies.

1. New default: Your phone number will no longer be visible in Signal
2. You can create an optional username to connect without sharing your phone number
3. You can enable a new, optional privacy setting to require people to connect with you via username instead of phone number

btw here is something cool - the 3 of us watching on @monsterdon were making the #p2p thing of peertube happen. i was a little behind because i kept going back to watch scenes again, so i mostly downloaded from whoever was ahead rather than uploaded, but like this is so sick to me because if it had to serve the whole movie to everyone it probably wouldn't be able to handle many more than this, but with p2p we can basically have as many people watching as we want.

first pic is from like 2/3 of the way through the movie, second is from the end, so most of that server download happened at the beginning when i was the only peer.
