In her paper Only You, Your Doctor, and Many Others May Know Sweeney says that her research was unwelcome. Over 20 journals turned down her paper on the Weld study, and nobody wanted to fund privacy research that might reach uncomfortable conclusions. https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2018/12/07/no-funding-for-unwanted-news/

For those of you new to the #Fediverse and #Mastodon, I've compiled a short list of useful tools that might help you make the most of your time here. Please feel free to take a look, if you so wish. https://chriswere.neocities.org/links.html#mastodon

Hello all!
This is the official Mastodon account for #Aardwolf-social (abbr. Aardwolf), the Facebook replacement project.

If you are into #WebDev, #RustLang, or related areas of expertise we would love to have you! Newbies are always encouraged. Projects are great way to learn things, and we are a friendly bunch of folks.

@Gargron I think m.social is a fantastic lobby, it's where we land first, sign in. Then we all book party rooms and sleeping rooms and event rooms and join our convention; but we all wander back to the lobby because it's a quality mixing space and it's so interesting to see who passes through.

#introduction

I did have accounts on the usual suspects of social media, but always very passive. Just joined Mastodon and it feels good. Even good enough for me to start sharing my thoughts.

I spent my time making good stuff better. Especially when this involves subjects like humans, data, visuals, electronics, ethics and privacy.

You can find me hanging around in the big cities of Holland, in the forest (with or without my MTB), at festivals and driving my cabrio on Europe's scenic roads.

@arjen and I actually find FF mobile is superior to Chrome on mobile in pretty much every way

Prismo has now a Bountysource profile!

It let's you post a bounty for any feature you want to be implemented. When feature ships, author of the code receives raised bounty. It can be anyone, not just Prismo team member! :)

#Solid isn't new, but now that there is #Inrupt it's described as a new idea. It looks like tech journalists only consider corporate or start-up backed technology worthy of coverage.

@hiemstra @arjen @anildash Ok, kinda works. http://tootwall.glitch.me/?instance=mastodon.utwente.nl

FYI. Will probably only work best on instances that don't have more than 1 post per minute.

@arjen it's definitely time to take action and stop using chrome whenever possible
