Someone is trying to get a piece of that tasty ICO cake using #Mastodon.... https://medium.com/we-distribute/hiveway-io-shamelessly-rips-off-of-mastodon-and-slaps-a-blockchain-on-top-for-some-reason-57b7aba3e84f

@kevie @mcnalu @perloid Is #PodCrawl usually on a Friday or a Saturday night (or both)? Last weekend of July, correct? Right now everything looks like we will make it...

@theru @chalkahlom good Sunday morning!

@NYbill After 10 years without a subscription of the Economist, I just got one again because my local news paper and the internet just don't give me the feeling that I know what's going on in the world.

@igor if a parcel wasn't delivered because I wasn't home and I want my wife to pick it up from the PO, I have to use the account to authorize her to do so. Sometimes I also buy electronic stamps.

@igor to follow up on this: the postal service really wants me to sign up to SwissID, they just sent me a "final email", telling me that I will no longer be able to log in using the old credentials...

@igor They're not saying that it's mandatory. They just keep sending mails nagging me to sign up. https://www.post.ch/en/business/a-z-of-subjects/swissid-your-digital-identity

@theru @lohang good #tzag folks!

@tpheine I don't know yet. At least the e-mail I got doesn't sound like there is an option to opt out....

The Swiss Postal Service want me to sign up for SwissID, a third party login provider. Apparently the Swiss Railways aren soon to follow. Meaning we will have a private company accumulating the login data of a majority of the Swiss population. Of couse they'll only use this data to improve your user experience and provide you with personalized offers. Ah, and they will share the data with third parties....

I read the Terms of Service and the Privacy Agreement and I don't agree.

@SDF it's a pity SDF abandoned #Slackware and went for CentOS as its go-to Linux distro on the #MetaArray

@theru @NYbill I honestly don't get why everyone seems to consider George Orwells 1984 a manual about how to run a modern state while nobody even considers his groundbreaking work in fields essential to welfare and even survival of mankind! http://www.george-orwell.org/A_Nice_Cup_of_Tea/0.html

Decentralized publishing with privacy and nomadic identity just got even better! #Hubzilla 3.0 is here! http://hubzilla.org/

@lnxw48a1 @bob @tobias @morph Very sad news indeed. He was already around when I joined identica back in the days.

@theru @NYbill This keyboard should actually come with a headset... ;)

@theru @NYbill The one downside is that you always need both hands to type. Typing a password while holding a phone with one hand is close to impossible... But apart from that I still love that leyboard.

@murph @NYbill Model M is a great keyboard. I think I still have one in my parents cellar. I meant to check and take it home for years...

@grmpyoldman yep, that about the angle we cycled at with side winds one day.

@tempttmy probably umlauts and even French accent-thingies (whatever they are called...)

@tempttmy Did mine have a CH keyboard? I don't even remember...
