Messaging Layer Security (MLS) has been accepted by the IETF for publication as a standard. MLS is and #EndToEndEncryption method designed for group messaging. I've been working on integrating a variant of it with @Matrix.org (keep an eye out for demos coming soon). I've sat in on some of the IETF meetings, and the (not yet published) RFC may even… -

A very thoughtful analysis. I've been on the side of "peace from both sides", but I can see the progression that you lay out. -

There's a natural spring just a short distance from here. Sometime about 30 years ago some kind of piping was added to it, so now the water comes out of a pipe a distance above the ground. People would fill their water cooler bottles there. About 10 years ago a sign was put up "This is not potable water". Now there are fewer people filling bottles, but it hasn't stopped everyone.… -

Behind this laundromat there is a pipe that continuaously spews water. People drive up and fill bottles, then leave.
Trusting. I naturally assume that there is some contaminant and I therefore avoid drinking water from mystery pipes. -

The only reason I have a Github account is to provide bug reports and feature requests to projects I want to support.
I don't code much, but anything I want to be publicly available is on my own website. Although not in a code repository, which is probably a good idea. -

I seem to recall there's a standard API that should be common to all the #StatusNet derivitave servers. I'm pretty sure that in its infancy Mastodon conformed to that API. But Mastodon's API expanded beyond that, and I suspect some of the common API was removed, probably around the time #OStatus was dropped from Mastodon too. But that's sheer speculation on my part. Time to upgra… -

Twidere has stopped working for Twitter accounts. My Mastodon account still works nicely. I thought maybe the Twidere API keys for the developer had been revoked, or that something had gone wrong with my phone (It's a vanilla Samsung with Android 12, but I've refused to install any of the Samsung or Google apps). I tried to re-authenticate my Twitter account with "Basic" (userID … -

!Friendica Admins As you might have heard, there are issues with the Twitter API. Several favourite clients stopped working, while others (still) do. By now there hadn't been any word if there is some massive Problem or if this was some deliberate action.
Whatever is causing these issues, at least my connection still works. How about yours? Is the Twitter connector on your systems still running? -

@gnu2 "soda pop", but in the Western US, it is usually just "soda". I usually only hear "pop" if I am in the Southern States. -
