The new @reality2cast is out! I talked to @dsearls @shawnp0wers and @kyle about the ups, downs, and how-tos of using Mastodon amid Twitter's recent instability.
The full episode “Mastodon Lifeboats for Twitter Users” is at reality2cast.com/132 or you can find it in your podcast app.

Can we get eco sister twitter.com/hiitaylorblake on here? Emmanuel the Emu's bird flu recovery is really the only reason I need to check Twitter anymore.

Who keeps you checking Twitter?

@shawnp0wers how’d that 🦣 upgrade go? 🦝 <— lol, a raccoon comes up for “curious”

When your spouse asks you to pick up a white ceramic whale menorah at Target and you have to actually ask whether it’s for Hanukkah or Twitter social commentary.

But why not both?

Happy Monday, Have you heard my interview with Christopher "CRob" Robinson" on ? We posted as audio and text, and I'm curious to know which people prefer.

We discussed issues, confidence in open source software security, and overcoming , among other things. Enjoy! intel.com/content/www/us/en/de

I really like the green checkmark system in Mastodon, but when relying on them for trust it's important to keep in mind *what* you are trusting:

* The security of the remote site (hacked site could vouch for an attacker)
* The security of the Mastodon instance (same)
* The integrity of the Mastodon instance (a modified version could let the owner disable the remote check)

This is one reason why I like self-owned instances on the account owner's domain.

I’ll say it again, because I broke my own rule and I’m reaping what I sowed:

Do not automate what you don’t know how to do manually.

Do. Not. Automate, what you don’t know how to do manually.

When a comedian doubles and triples down on making transphobic and antisemitic jokes, it doesn't say, "I'm a philosopher king, and no subject is off limits," so much as, "Punching down to please the mob is my only shot at success."

I am getting schooled by @shawnp0wers @katherined @kyle on @reality2cast about how to use Mastodon. Like, just learned that on searls.com I can put the rel="me" tag in a link back to my handle here. Unless I misunderstood, which happens.

Here are some my favorite and telling it like it is on and . @mmasnick @briannawu @evangreer and @kashhill (who I hope will become more active here.) And obviously @dsearls

We (the Ostrom Workshop at Indiana University, plus me and my wife, both visiting scholars there) are putting on this salon at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA this coming Monday at 11am Pacific: events.iu.edu/ostromworkshop/e It's free, and online as well as in person. Registration is required for t he online side (it'll be zoomed). Sign up at that link. The speaker is Roger McNamee, former advisor to Mark Zuckerberg, and then the author of the bestseller, Zucked.

Oh, hey, it's ! I'll start with some friends and former colleagues from the and world. @kyle @shawnp0wers @Wildbill @dsearls and @carlie (And why hasn't Petros signed up yet?? 😆 He will remain a mystery, for now.)

I’m John. I’ve fallen down the open source supply chain security rabbit hole. My current focus is around leveraging threat model and architecture information to facilitate automated context aware decentralized gamification / continuous improvement of the security lifecycle / posture of open source projects.

We've just posted a fun Q&A with Christopher "CRob" Robinson, Intel's esteemed expert, who probably needs no introduction. We talked about a few things to be optimistic about in these days, including his work with the . I highly recommend listening to the audio version to get the full experience!

The new "bluechecks will fix everything" system over on the other site seems to have, maybe, a few bugs that a competent trust & safety team might have been useful in working through...

Currently seeking guest speakers for our local #GirlsWhoCode club here at Michigan! Speakers are typically #WomenInSTEM who discuss their career paths and take questions from high school students. Presentations are about 10-15 minutes plus time for questions. Club is virtual so anyone can be our guest speaker! DM me if interested! #WomenInScience #Science #ScienceMigration
