In @YakiHonne I can't seem to set notifications only for private messages. It says at least one should be enabled when I try to deselect mentions. But Private messages are enabled too.

Anyone has problem with Firefox on Android? It gets to a state when no pages load, I can enter URL but it stays grey. Clearing cache (both within Firefox and from the Apps menu in settings) does not help. Reinstalling or clearing storage does, but that deletes all PWAs, I'm logged out of everywhere and need to set up things again.

Great take. I'll just add a bit: Number 1 is dead end. I will write an article about it. If you look how the new EU age verification works - it's strong attestation + zero knowledge age prover combined with your digital id. Goodbye open systems. The app itself is open source, but the age proof will fail unless it's generated by an app compiled and signed by the state authority, on a certified device. We only have web, hacking certified devices and your point no 2. But since normies don't care, building network effects will be incredibly difficult. View quoted note →

If the official X app stopped working for you (f.e. if you are using @GrapheneOS ), or your banking apps aren't working anymore, the problem might be hardware-based attestation. Unfortunately, despite winning many battles for an open internet, open code, open protocols, and file formats, hardware attestation is a problem that most of us aren't even aware of. And it's a big problem for the Internet.

The Internet and Computers Aren’t What They Used to Be: Why Your Apps Stopped Working (Hardware Attestation) – Juraj Bednar

Ak vám prestala fungovať appka X na @GrapheneOS , nefungujú vám bankové appky a podobne, problémom môže byť hardvérová atestácia. Bohužiaľ, aj napriek tomu, že sme vyhrali mnohé boje o otvorený internet, kód, otvorené protokoly a formáty súborov, hardvérová atestácia je problém, o ktorom väčšina z nás ani nevie.

Duolingo is strange.

Este año ha sido mágico para mí, porque mis amigos están escribiendo libros increíbles y los están compartiendo conmigo. El libro de Irene (de @MissesConMises) trata sobre encontrar la libertad y explorar. Ve y explora la libertad con los dos personajes, que se conocen en Praga y descubren tanto Europa como lo que significa ser libre.

Make markets brutal again. These days it seems like traders are children and are always complaining the markets are not fair, there's manipulation, whales, insiders, illuminati, the spooks, high frequency traders and algorithms, sandwiching and MEV bots, ... People somehow don't understand that the purpose of markets is not to be a merry go round children olympics. Trade and price discovery. A whale screwed you over? Seems they had a better opinion on the price than you. We thank you for your service of being on the losing side of the price discovery. You gave world information. If you think you have any kind of right to win based on wrong opinion, you don't understand markets. That's not true. If you don't know how to be a network engineer, don't expect people to pay you to take care of their networks. There's no right to do everything. Markets are about the edge. If you don't have it, you don't add anything to the price, except for liquidity. You are gambling and the odds are not in your favor. Good.
