I don't get it... this #efail / #gpg / #pgp / #smime thing is all over German media (e.g. here: http://www.tagesschau.de/inland/e-mail-verschluesselung-101.html) even though it is totally irrelevant for 99% of people, as almost no one is using PGP encryption for his/her mails anyways and the few that do will most likely have disabled HTML emails (or at least loading of remote content).

It would be much more proportional to write a *shocker* article every single day about how almost all emails are sent with no e2e encryption at all.

This project would not be possible without the pioneering work of evanp and @cwebber along with @Gargron and @mmn and many others!

I really look forward to the May 31st beta launch of https://pixelfed.org

He's checking it twice

He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice

I have a feeling that right now, SMTP has the biggest adoption of all federated messagning protocols, and the second place is far far behind. Of all the new communication protocols I've seen recently, they're either popular, or federated, not both. And trying to get your new protocol adopted not just by people for their private communications, but also by companies, govts, and orgs for their internal and external communication is going to be extremely hard.

Sometimes just working in Python isn't enough. Sometimes you need extra speed that Python alone cannot give you. The traditional response was to use the C language and the Python bindings for it. Nowadays it is becoming fashionable to try other languages, such as Rust or Go. I propose a different contender: the #D programming language.

Think of the things you like about Python: flexible, expressive, easy. D has it all! In this talk, I will show you why D can be an easy way to write faster code.

Everyone complains about politicians. Everyone says they suck. But where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky; they don't pass through a membrane from a separate reality. They come from American homes, American families, American schools, American churches, and American businesses. And they're elected by American voters. This is what our system produces, folks. This is the best we can do.
