Thanks, I see. Good job!

By the way I am glad to find you here, it has bothered me a lot that Monero folks seem so attached to Twitter (or whatever its name is now). That is a centralized platform and being dependent on that seems to go against everything that Monero is about, I mean censorship resistance and so on. Relying so much on Twitter means being vulnerable to censorship. Same with Github.

Are there others from the Monero crowd here (in the fediverse)?

Just to clarify, by "we" here you mean Monero developers?

I think this discussion boils down to the following two things which people may want:

(1) ability to build everything from source

(2) ability to enforce memory-safety

In my own opinion, (1) is critical, it is what FOSS is all about, while (2) is more a nice-to-have kind of thing. I would never sacrifice (1) to get (2).

People who like Rust sometimes seem to focus on (2) so much that they are willing to throw (1) under the bus. That's not good.

@stoicswe@mastodon.social removing an app may seem like a small thing, but in a way it can represent a huge change, in terms of how society works, where power lies and so on.

If someone would try to pinpoint the moment when the world changed, an app removal from a phone might be that moment 🙂

@stoicswe@mastodon.social Well done! A day to celebrate 🎉 🎆 ⭐

@nenne@mastodon.nu mm mycket bra film. Börje Ahlstedts bästa roll. Han är för alltid Mattis för mig. 🙂

Kul! Synd att jag missade det, hade velat vara med men det gick inte denna gång.

Thanks, such gift cards is an interesting possibility.

Still, physically going to a not-too-local store to buy a separate gift card for each purchase is pretty inconvenient. So there is still an advantage with cryptocurrency, in my view.

Then there is also the issue of censorship resistance, allowing the store to function independently.

@megmac quoting from one of the comments in the github issue:

> the idea that the act of compiling software
> downloads and runs blobs feels wrong to me

I agree with that, but hasn't this been a problem with rust all along?

When I was building a Linux From Scratch (LFS) system a while ago, having all source code in place first and then building everything offline from those sources, it was rust-related things that gave me problems because rust insisted on downloading binaries.

Joined Mastodon only recently and am eager to connect with the Science and #openscience community!

Especially, as I would like to share that we are organizing an #openscience workshop in Bordeaux with the registration deadline right around the corner. We have eminent speakers confirmed and I'll be sharing more about them in the coming days. If you know someone who might be interested, please spread the word!

For more info, here's our website: bordeaux-neurocampus.github.io.

@samuel undvik att hamna i "det brukar sägas att Mastodon är svårt, nu ska jag visa att det inte alls är svårt". Prata inte om att något skulle vara svårt.

En sak till: när det gäller politiskt engagerade tycker jag det är värt att trycka på hur principiellt viktigt det är att politiskt engagemang kan pågå utan att det sitter någon och avlyssnar/censurerar folks kommunikation (varken jättestora företag eller staten ska få göra det). Extra viktigt om kommunikationen handlar om politik.

@n2burns

> What privacy?

Privacy in terms of not letting banks and/or credit card companies know what you are doing.

You are right that there is also information related to delivery address that one could also worry about, but each piece of information matters.

@PINE64 @benpocalypse

@JohnShirley2023 To be fair, Jesus was indeed hugely liberal (in the meaning of the word "liberal" in US political debate).

Talking about things like being merciful, turning the other cheek, loving your enemies, and all that blabbering about forgiveness. It is clearly left-wing lunacy, all of it.

For right-wing/conservative folks it is therefore logical to reject the teachings of Jesus.

@dn jag tror det gick till så här: den ena sa nånting, ocjh den andra hajade direkt vad hen menade. Sen var de vänner för livet.

@annika ah.

Maybe it means the same thing as the "( feed imported by press.coop )" that is also on every account?

I take it to mean that the admins/owners of press.coop have themselves setup those accounts, and they promise that they really contain feeds from the real places. If you or I created an account on press.coop and made in into a bot like that, we would not get the badge. Just guessing 🙂
