Act 108. Dec 31, 2020. Donald John Trump and John Charles Eastman file a document making certain statements in a lawsuit. “Earlier on the same day, John Charles Eastman sent an email to [other] attorneys … admitting his knowledge that at least some of the allegations in the verified complaint were not accurate.”
Got yourself a quality lawyer there, did you.
I’m just horrified at the idea that some of those guys might actually have been competent.

“A Montana judge on Monday found that the Treasure State is violating its residents’ right to a clean environment — delivering a major victory to the 16 kids, teens and young adults behind the first U.S. youth-led climate trial.”

"Describe the relevant sectors of the economy":
"Academia, industry, non-profit and international".
Hmm.
The "inter-" in the use of "international" in this way always grates with me, and would even if they had said "national and international academia, industry, and non-profit". "Inter-national" means "in-between nations" not "abroad"!
Cognitive dissonance: warm to hot cucumber in my hand when peeling it. That's what you get when you harvest your lunch straight from your hydroponics plants at the lunchtime in the California sunshine.
Although I've been doing this for a few years now, I've been trained to think that cucumbers to be peeled must be refrigerator-cold. So I end up with a double-take every time.
“we know that only through force do we make any change in a corrupt town like Washington” Rep Gaetz while standing next to Trump in Iowa.
There are now elected representatives who are calling for force against the very government they are part of.
If there isn’t a swift law that would put them away for some years for that, there should be Imho.
“a Tehran court sentenced a woman to two months in prison and six months of psychological treatment for “a contagious psychological disorder that leads to sexual promiscuity” because she didn’t wear a hijab.”
nostr:npub1zzzlmatwaq304723m449ljj9muzeepnxem9f9sdlh4ygzwm0d2wsp5h09z maybe I misread that. I read it offers ip to apps, but maybe it merely uses ip itself and provides some custom abstraction to apps. That would be a step back from tor hidden services.
Pet clinic sends customer service survey. I usually answer those because who knows, maybe they actually want to listen?
In this case, I didn't hit submit. They apparently only wanted to know whether the staff did all the things management wants them to do to sell me / my dog more expensive stuff. I'm not volunteering my time to help you get more of my money!

Can a network be a Commons?
(In the Ostrom sense)
I would think so — if a network can be proprietary it could instead be a Commons, no?Eg CompuServe was a proprietary network, which was supplanted by the internet, which arguably is a (gigantic, and not well governed) Commons. Visa, back in the days it was a club of banks was arguably mostly a network governed as a commons, I would think.
So why doesn’t a web search find much for “network commons”?

What do we make of this nostr:npub15swppzfkrxwyygf7ucdyjp8pyrkt6dger2lqa5lfc3dtt0pzputqztj7m0 thing? What will be its place in the larger scheme of things relative to, say, #Signal, #Tor, #IPFS, #Matrix and the #fediverse? https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/12/veilid_privacy_data/ #Veilid
"The data have spoken." I like that phrasing.
Even if it means it's not a superconductor. Bit unclear to me how researchers could get that wrong in the first place.
Extraordinary claims need extraordinary verification it seems to me, otherwise extraordinary embarrassment ensues ...

Another reason I don't like "federated" as a term is this:
If somebody says something is federated, how many things do you think are federating? My default assumption would be: maybe a few dozen. Like the federated 50 US states, or the 16 states in the Federal Republic of Germany, or maybe a handful of healthcare organizations in an identity federation.
My default assumption is not: tens of thousands, as the fediverse is today, or even millions as the fediverse may be tomorrow.
Let’s say you are the CEO of a major corporation, brought on recently to help turn it around and put it back on a growth course. Now CNN is doing an article about you. Great! What do you expect the first sentence to be?
What about: “Linda Yaccarino is living in a world of delusion.”
Hmm. And all your employees will have read it by lunchtime.

nostr:npub1u27r9h3j9pvrplaffsmpn698e8xhmuqhdgcxldv67ammql9pumnqha3qfq Fair question, I guess it depends on how Threads is counted amongst this, as Fediverse adjacent or not, but I think this still holds true with a qualifier or two.
The various posters of the #fediverse stats seemed to indicate the growth was a) significant and b) real, so ... close enough for a high level statement.
nostr:npub14kh6e56lzu5lupphc8mtyzz3mdwn324qlpydz54raqvy8se999fs9d5jxv Well, I don't know, for example, Meta as a whole in their earnings report just reported record MAUs across all of their products. I would expect that most Threads users were existing Instagram users, so they don't count as incremental MAUs, and so I would expect that user growth for Meta products was larger somewhere else than for Threads.
There's a session on #testing #interop in the #fediverse tomorrow morning (pacific time) of the W3C's #SWICG, with presentations from a few people including yours truly.
If you are interested in how to make the Fediverse more reliably interoperate, and in building a community around automating tests that can be applied to lots of fediverse apps, come attend? The meeting is open to all.
