@evan UPSI is fairly new technology, just a few years old. I haven't used it myself, but it could be part of the solution for the blocking problem you refer to. This was all true as of around 2022, when I was looking into this issue of blocking and private posts, while trying to keep blocklists private. If I understand it correctly, I like your MLSGroup solution. I guess I should have posted this to the GitHub thread.... :/ 2/2

Replying to @evan@activitypub.space
@evan yay, kudos for addressing this! It's true that not all participants would want to identify themselves, e.g. to all friends of friends when replying to a friend's private post. I think it's OK for such repliers to still be identifiable to (only) their friend the OP. Otherwise, harassment would be more possible if the reply were completely anonymous, whereas if the OP knows their identity they can use social pressure to mitigate harassment. One challenge is if Alice posts and Bob replies, and Bob is blocking Charlie, then how does Alice (or Alice's server, e.g. an MLSGroup) know not to forward Bob's reply to Charlie, unless Alice knows that Bob is blocking Charlie? Blocklists are private information. One possible solution is to use Private Set Intersection (PSI) to determine the intersection of Alice's recipients and Bob's blocklist. PSI is slow and typically requires recalculating every time one of the sets changes, but Updateable Private Set Intersection (UPSI) can handle set changes quickly. 1/

@tinker@infosec.exchange I'm not a kernel developer, but if there are truly a bunch of Linux devs jumping ship to BSD, then are there enough of them to just make a Linux fork instead? I thought the argument against a fork was essentially that there wouldn't be enough personpower to develop it as well as the fork that Linus controls. Am I missing something?

Replying to @D4lt0n@infosec.exchange
@D4lt0n@infosec.exchange @mattblaze@federate.social the trump supporter who now owns CBS (David Ellison, son of Larry Ellison) installed the pro-trump Bari Weiss as head of CBS, who now asserts editorial control over the network. This has led to censorship of the show 60 Minutes, blocking stories that reflect badly on trump and everything he's doing. This censorship has destroyed the credibility of 60 Minutes and CBS. One of 60 Minutes' reporters, Scott Pelley, called this out in a recent staff meeting, and was fired. All to say, CBS and 60 Minutes are no longer to be trusted. :(

@starlily he's already divided the US, and we're currently ineffective against him anyway. The "blue state country" would be much more able to check Putin's actions than the US is today. Also, a hard ejection of the fascism would give us a chance of regaining international trust, which is lost now.

Replying to @codinghorror@infosec.exchange
@codinghorror @heidilifeldman @jwz I suggest the following scenario: 1) Two different constitutions are proposed, perhaps based on the current one, but one appeals to the left and one to the right. 2) Each state's population votes on which they prefer. 3) The US splits into two countries based on which states support which constitution. This approach might even get bipartisan support. Unfortunately, this abandons vulnerable populations in the red states, but right now everyone is suffering anyway. The new "blue state country" should allow immigration from the "red state country" to mitigate this. Hey, if we split again and the red states *don't* implement slavery this time, I'd call it a win.

@dangillmor@mastodon.social over the years, I've asked many self-identified conservatives what "conservative" means anymore. I've never gotten a straight answer.

@Tzipporah@turtleisland.social something that helped me was to get a mic on a stand, a way to mix your voice with music from streaming/CDs/etc., and headphones to listen to that mix as you sing. The headphones really help you hear how you sound.

@Tzipporah@turtleisland.social yes! And it's enjoyable for the singer even if they're not good. I just love the way it feels, especially in harmony. And the more you do it, the better you'll get.
