Thank you for embracing the #fediverse #mastodon
I am on the other side of the country in #HamOnt. Can you convince #MatthewGreen to jump on board.
Baby steps, but getting Government officials off #X and other corporate controlled social media will be good for all #Canada. Especially with the next 4 years.

As AI agents become ubiquitous, expect the copyright industry to try to turn them against you
One of the many interesting aspects of the new wave of artificial intelligence systems is that with them, copyright has moved from the fringe to centre stage. There are continuing debates about what role copyright should play in the world of generative AI, not to mention various lawsuits asking the courts to rule on that question. Those debates and lawsuits have been about two aspects of AI: […]

Matthew Green, of Press The Buttons and Power Button, Passes Away at 43
I had been afraid something like this had happened. A friend found an announcement on Twitter, but it's a cesspool these days and I never go there any more so it had escaped my notice. Here's the obituary.
He had been ailing for some ti

"The challenge in storing encrypted backup data is that strong encryption requires strong (or “high entropy”) cryptographic keys and passwords. Since most of us are terrible at selecting, let alone remembering strong passwords, this poses a challenging problem."

This isn't as hard as people seem to think;
What's missing is education, including replacing "password" with "passphrase".

“EU’s mandatory chat #scanning”
‘The basic idea of this proposal is to scan private (and #encrypted) #messages for child sexual abuse material. This now means just #images and #videos.
