@fedilab@toot.fedilab.app Is there any scope to develop an iOS version of Fedilab? Are there any specific obstacles to doing so?

John Oliver succinctly explains why facial recognition software is so insidious, and why combined with widespread surveillance is so dangerous, even if you "have nothing to hide"

Is anyone aware of plans for a way to run a single #ActivityPub server that can serve both #PixelFed and #Mastodon frontends? It seems that PixelFed and Mastodon both could be like a plugin to a standard AP server.

Is anyone working on a libre / fediverse replacement for #Giphy yet? I've had a passing interest in creating GIF reactions that don't exist yet.

"Think of us as venture capitalists with a radical social mission: to lend people the tools to democratically build lasting wealth for themselves, their businesses, and their communities. The Working World is a non-profit organization that provides investment capital and technical support for worker cooperatives using an innovative finance model."

In this panel, Christopher Lemmer Webber discusses ActivityPub's server-to-client and server-to-server protocols, and how they could be used to allow people to use a single account to log in to many Fediverse clients. This seems like an immensely useful feature, that could offer enough ease of use to entice people to join the Fediverse. Are there projects working on this?

Relevant discussion starts at minute 24:00:

"Hence, when it came to the simple matter of bamboozling the masses with ripping tales of government as the very embodiment of evil, as Friedman did, there were never any qualms expressed about their simultaneous drive to take over the Republican Party, and then the U.S. government, in order to impose a strong state and an even stronger set of state-instituted novel markets."

Fascinating interview with Phil Mirowski on why COVID-19 is more of an opportunity than a threat for neoliberalism. soundcloud.com/poltheoryother/
@lightweight might find this interesting.

I only recently learned about Digital Research and its founder Gary Kildall, but this history really makes it seem like Bill Gates ripped off CP/M to launch Microsoft. Is this right?? youtube.com/watch?v=hJNaAG2BXo

Cool, got LibreOffice on my laptop integrated with NextCloud's WebDAV.

Now I can edit documents from my desktop, mobile, or the web interface, and the document data should update without any problems.

This is good progress. 😎

@mpanhans the whole desktop domain model employed by Windows (and forced upon any Macs & Linux machines that want to participate) and the VPN/RDP practice are all extremely heavy & dated. A modern org should be 100% web based in its systems (fully client-server), including file sharing (if they insist on using shared filesystems, they should use WebDAV with something like NextCloud. A file sync option is also there). Really clever organisations will have a "single source" policy w/ git :)

@theprivacyfoundation Relatedly, last year Chris Cox left Facebook over Zuckerberg's pivot to encryption. Cox thought encryption made it harder to filter out fake news, hate speech, detect human trafficking. If Cox had won and Facebook had not pivoted to encryption, and Facebook's tools would not be able to be used for human trafficking, wouldn't we be in a better world?

I have a sincere question for @theprivacyfoundation and the community. The DOJ announced it's investigating Senator Richard Burr, who sold off $1.7m in stock before the coronavirus crash, while assuring the public it was under control. His brother-in-law sold off too. Search warrants were used to collect data from his iCould account and cell phone. With encryption, it would be hard to investigate this case. Privacy makes it harder to root out corruption. What's the response?
