JUST IN - Binance CEO: “Self custody is a fundamental human right.”

Decided to look at network stats again. There are 1M more people using #Mastodon today than there were on October 27.

Given how easy it is to move to a different Mastodon instance, it will be interesting to see in the coming months to see how many new folks will live in the "big cities", how many will move to small towns, and how many will start their own homesteads. #fediverse

I've never understood the political fear of Libertarians.

"Sure, they're not in power now, but someday they might take over and... uh, leave you alone, I guess, since that's kind of their whole deal."

It's like being afraid of cats.

#Illinois man pleads guilty to assaulting #Reuters journalist during U.S. Capitol riot

Last year, Jason Woods became the first defendant to be charged for assaulting a member of the news media during the riot.

A total of 11 people have been charged with assaulting journalists that day, while about 269 have been charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding police officers, according to a Justice Department tally.

After years of separation from our parents, my wife and I have no desire to be separated from our SONS.

After two years of waiting and nearly ten years of exile, a little stability will make a difference for my family. I pray for privacy for them—and for us all. https://t.co/24NUK21TAo https://t.co/qLfp47uzZ4

Important announcement: end-to-end encryption concerns USERS, and not APPLICATIONS. The ends are the AGENTS, not the CODE they run.

If your communication application processes your messages on behalf of someone other than you or your recipient, then it's NOT #E2EE.

I'm surprised how many people seem to accept that applications exchange messages rather than people. Nope. If the application censors you or leaks contents to someone else, then your communication is not E2EE by definition.
