Two Roads diverged in a yellow wood,
If you continue on the right path you will run over 3 people
but if you turn to take a left,
you will run over only one and it will be your fault.

Some DOD components have begun to pilot, on a limited basis, a potentially more secure
superior communications platform, known as Matrix, which is end-to-end encrypted by default,
interoperable, not controlled by any one company, and widely used by multiple NATO allies.
For example, the attached presentation, provided to Congress in July, describes the Navy’s
successful use of Matrix, including on 23 ships. While we commend DOD for piloting such
secure, interoperable communications technology, its use remains the exception; insecure,
proprietary tools remain far more widespread within DOD and the federal government generally.
The widespread adoption of insecure, proprietary tools is the direct result of DOD leadership
failing to require the use of default end-to-end encryption, a cybersecurity best practice, as well
as a failure to prioritize communications security when evaluating different communications
platforms

Almost let my domain expire

Also stupid rule, shouldn't be a touchback

Oh my god I take it back I really want to make fun of them for that failed pick 6 lmao. Fumbled it out the back of the endzone and it's Titans ball again

Also fwiw, first receiving TD in franchise history by a defensive player

Okay fine, i won't make fun of the defense today

The funniest thing is that whenever Burrow throws an amazing pass, it cuts back to him, and he's always on the ground. The offensive line is just non-existent

It turns out this was the only meme we needed during the draft a few years ago

In case you're unaware, Hubbard is one of our better players on defense (DE)

The Bengals defense really knows how to turn every game into an offensive showdown

I'm so glad Jon Bois and Secret Base are making Pretty Good episodes again

Also, a little disappointed that composable moderation isn't working out well, because that's something I had a significant amount of faith in.

I think the immediate reaction to the Singal thing on Bluesky being 'mastodon is too difficult to use' is disappointing. Dissappointing that the 'difficulty' outweighs the moderation issue and disappointing that the fediverse hasn't figured out how to outgrow those usability issues from 2 years ago.

Once Loops federates, I call self hosting an instance called tomtok, which means nobody else can claim this idea because I called it.

"If you don't live under a rock, you might've heard of Bluesky, a decentralised social microblogging app built on top of the AT Protocol. In early June 2023, I identified a vulnerability in Bluesky's core user identity mechanism, did:plc, which allowed me to modify the identity information associated with any* account. I tested my hypothesis by changing the handle of the official @bsky.app account."

Detailed breakdown of how bluesky/atproto (and to a lesser extent activitypub) work "...Under these definitions, Bluesky and ATProto are not meaningfully decentralized, and are not federated either. However, this is not to say that Bluesky is not achieving something useful; while Bluesky is not building what is presently a decentralized Twitter, it is building an excellent replacement for Twitter, and Bluesky's main deliverable goal is something else instead: a Twitter replacement, with the possibility of "credible exit"."
