You get annoyed by having to enter your #Mastodon handle each time you want to follow/interact with someone on a "foreign" page?
I got that too, but I've made a little add-on to solve this "problem". 😃
It automatically "redirects" you to your own instance.

Social virtual reality: connecting to people in #VR
Long, but very interesting presentation about how that works, feels, what opportunites it offers & what problems it has http://opendoclab.mit.edu/presents/eva-wolfangel-knight-fellow-science-journalist/

Like… this small metal box contains aluminum disks that spin faster than a plane’s reactor blades? And there’s read-write heads that are closer to the disks than a hair’s width? And they manage to read and write data magnetically at that speed?
Riiight, of course man. Suuuure

Wow, some very interesting new research here: https://tpm.fail/
Researchers published attacks that can recover encryption keys from Trusted Computing Modules (TPMs) (which isn't supposed to be possible) by timing elliptic curve signature generation. "On Intel fTPM, our key recovery succeeds after about1,300 observations and in less than two minutes."
Nearly all Windows computers store BitLocker encryption keys in TPMs.

In addition, thanks to community efforts, it is already available in 4 languages!
(If you speak another one, please help and translate it too!)
You can download v2.0 here now:

Their original FAQ (that misses links again) explains it a little better, they fear fake results submitted by participants.
Well… usual problems in distributed systems, but is making it closed-sourced really a solution for that? Just count on security by obscurity?
https://foldingathome.org/faqs/project-details/dont-post-source-code/
#FoldingAtHome does not release the client as #FLOSS, because of "client for several reasons, relating to client reliability and other issues".
Wtf??!
Also, they mix up "open-sourcing" and "outsourcing" in their FAQ.
"It works by launching a Chrome instance rendered in a virtual framebuffer and capturing and encoding the output with ffmpeg."
What hellish thing did I just read? 😲

BTW if you use #Fedora and save your git paswords in the #GNOME keyring (via #libsecret), there was a big change that likely broke your setup:

Accessibility is a public health issue

@annalisa habe auch jetzt erst kapiert, was sehr cool ist: das ding lernt offenbar stetig weiter, auch aus aktuellen Events.
Das führt zu einigen lustigen Toots zu #Corona und einigen politischen Statements, die es aus der #Fediverse-Filterbubble extrahiert.
Und auch sehr lustigen, total realistischen Toot-Einzeilern.
Do you like my #Offline #QrCode generator #Firefox add-on and think more people should use it?
Now let's make it a recommend extension! Look here on what the criteria is and how to do it: https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/publish/recommended-extensions/ (TL;DR: you just need to send a mail)
If you think it applies, it would be great of you to suggest to #Mozilla to select this one. 😃
If not, feel free to let me know why and I'll see whether something can be adjusted here.
