A giant leap forwards for encryption with MLS, https://matrix.org/blog/2023/07/a-giant-leap-with-mls/.

The Messaging Layer Security (MSL) protocol is a new encryption standard defined by the IETF (RFC9420), to provide a way for users of a messaging service to communicate securely without servers being able to eavesdrop on their conversations.

Matrix has been working on this with Cisco, Google, Mozilla, AWS, Wire and so on.

Matrix is working on making MSL decentralized too.

First Rule of ARIA

"If you can use a native HTML element or attribute with the semantics and behavior you require already built in, instead of re-purposing an element and adding an ARIA role, state or property to make it accessible, then do so."

That last one has to be a guy who doesn't understand why he is so attracted to the Kens.

I saw somebody mention KLF on this here website today, which caused me to discover "Doctorin' The Tardis", which apparently reached number 1 in UK and New Zealand. I feel like the music video is a perfect match for the song:

“Floridians died at a higher rate, adjusted for age, than residents of almost any other state during the Delta wave, according to the Times analysis. With less than 7 percent of the nation’s population, Florida accounted for 14 percent of deaths between the start of July and the end of October.”

Also I didn't know about this famous message until long after the fact. I don't know if the version I played at school was legit... or even if it was the Apple II version? I think the Apple IIs at my gradeschool were replaced by macs after my first year. But it wasn't the specific pirated copy with andy's tombstone. And I don't think I ever went back and played it until now.

* Isopods have 7 pairs of legs all pretty much the same length.

* 74** logic gates have ... 7 pairs of legs all the same length!

Coincidence? I think not!

Clearly, each isopod contains 4 logic gates. This Armadillidium vulgare has 4 AND gates. Don't forget to connect power & ground legs & use pull-down resistors on inputs.

(best practice is to simply ask the rollie to position itself in your circuit.)

Like most natural systems. they use micro-voltages, don't use standard 5V power sources.

Although, now that I think about it, the open web was only possible due to a confluence of anti-trust action combined with personal computer revolution. Anti-trust is completely weak these days, and the personal computer revolution is currently in exponential decay mode. So... 🤔

Once the open web is thoroughly enclosed by authorities both state and corporate, I wonder what we will eventually create as an open alternative?

Hey this is sort of a weird question, but does anybody know where I can find FULL floorplans of outdated cruise ships, preferably ones from the 60's or 70's? Not just the ones they gave to passengers, but also including crew quarters and engine rooms and such?

I specifically need outdated ones because the story is taking place in the 70's.

Google is trying to put the web in a cage in the same way they put your devices in a cage (Android, ChromeOS).

There’s one really easy, simple and efficient way to fight them: uninstall Chrome/Chromium, use #firefox

Do it. Now.

If you are not ready to sacrifice a little comfort (so little, Firefox is great) to save the web, then you don’t deserve a free web anyway. You are part of those killing it.

Remove Chrome. Install Firefox.
