Imagine your name were "Jon" and everybody kept misspelling your name as "John". This is how I scream internally whenever people call me "Tomasso".
Hey #mastodon this is something to look at! @npub10mwq...awkn just announced v0.1.0 of their key transparency specification for the Fediverse! This is an incredibly useful project, something really missing in a robust decentralized architecture. #fedi #fediverse #crypto #cryptography #authentication #security #federation #digitalsovereignty #digitalselfsovereignty
I just found this cool video explaining the DIffie-Hellman cryptographic key exchange with the analogy of mixing colors! I was not aware of this neat explanation! Cute! #crypto #cryptography #security #privacy #education #video
I just received a letter from the Swiss Confederation about a "Mikrozensus MobilitΓ€t und Verkeher". Basically they ask me to participate in a survey by installing a tracking app on my phone to report my location as I drive my car around. GIGALOL #switzerland #privacy #madness
Dear #Mastodon can someone explain me why sometimes a thread gets "broken" and I cannot access part of it anymore? Example: I toot "A", other users reply to the toot as "B" and "C", and I reply to both with "BA" and "BC", respectively. After some time I see that my original thread only shows one "branch": it has become A->B->BA. The other branch still exists, I can see it from my "posts and replies" feed, but it appears as detached from the main "A" thread. What's going on?
Mastodon users: please, please remember to tag your toots with the correct language.
