today an important cornerstone towards implementing FEP-0837 in #flohmarkt has been finished: i overhauled the backend of the currency system. Each currency now relies on a single global identifier in the form of an URL. We hope for most of these to be URLs to #wikidata entities in the future but of course we did not compromise the ability to have free-form currencies. When a user creates a free-form currency, there will be a URL for that instance.
Signal recently released another grand jury subpoena which, as always, basically had nothing interesting to turn over in response. For the requested phone numbers they could only provide the account creation timestamp. https://signal.org/bigbrother/district-of-columbia/
Signal's recent disclosure of how little it could share in response to a grand jury subpoena is pretty telling. Its defaults are very strong. But if you want to go further, we have a guide on really how to really maximize its privacy settings. https://freedom.press/digisec/blog/locking-down-signal/

Mit dem Tod von Jürgen #Habermas verliert die politische Philosophie eine Stimme, die darauf beharrte, dass demokratische Legitimität nicht aus Macht, sondern aus vernünftiger Verständigung entsteht. Sein Denken erinnerte daran, dass Demokratie mehr ist als Mehrheiten: Sie lebt vom Streit der Gründe – und vom Vertrauen darauf, dass Sprache mehr sein kann als ein Instrument der Durchsetzung.

The Trump bloodhounds have just won in court against an “Antifa cell” belonging to the "Antifa domestic terrorist organization.” Here are some useful antifa facts:
1. There is no antifa organization. You can't find it, join it, give it money, or identify any leaders.
2. There are likewise no antifa cells, outside of Pam Bondi’s fever dreams.
3. Even so, if you yourself are not antifascist, what's the matter with you?

Is your timeline a bit empty? Do you want it to be filled with interesting posts and nice accounts?
Here's a simple non-technical guide to all the different ways you can discover accounts to follow on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse:
There's no algorithm on here so discovering people and posts may take a bit more effort, but it also tends to produce higher quality more humane results.
If I've missed a method let me know 🙂
