Excellent. Since privacy and cybersecurity are goals, TLS Encrypted Client Hello (RFC 9849, ECH) and its DNS service bindings (RFC 9848) were finalized last month.

Because I don't want to deal with formatting, I want to focus on data. Firefox and Safari formatting looked great.


The Fediverse did take off. Then large numbers of influential people got banned by randos and realized how much better and reliable (non-profit or not) corporate censors are.

>Then large numbers of influential people got banned by randos

Given the state of other social media. The randos were right to ban them probably.


How can you be banned from the fediverse?

I understand your pedantic point but let me give a realistic reply. If your account, or the account of somebody you like corresponding with, happens to be on an instance that falls into disfavour (not uncommon in my time there) then server bans come out and conversations become broken, even between parties who had no knowledge of the overarching drama. Good luck even understanding it if you aren’t a techie.

Every server admin can ban your account. You can’t move a banned account. You lose everything. I was banned from mastodon.social because I dare to criticize the socialist regime of the former GDR on Germany‘s Independence Day.

Well, some of the non-centralized social media is quite left-wing. If someone favours the SED or other parts of the ex-GDR regime (like FDGB etc) then it's IMHO already bordering on left extremisms. After all these guys enslaved a hughe population to make people do their biddings. If that is not extreme, I can't say.

That said, if you insisted that some "Germany's Independence Day" existed, then it's perhaps that what got you banned. Germany was never really a colony. Not of UK, not of Spain or Portugal, or not in newer times of Russia. Many countries that were a colony of them, or just annexxed, have an independence day. Germany doesn't --- the last time it was partially colonized, in roman times, there was no Germany.

Perhaps you mean the reunification day :-)


Banned for what?

For selecting the wrong instance when you created your account. "Defederated", effectively the same thing.

...for them.

Is the same algorithmic connectivity with Japanese happening on Bluesky as it is on Twitter, or are Bluesky's algorithms just as opaque as Twitter's?

I'm not sure myself, however in atproto you can fetch all the data and do analytics, love it or hate it.

I was disappointed by the hard divergence from core aspects of Tim Berners-Lee‘s vision (and its current implementations) of a Web 3.0 but oh well. Threads got on board, and it’s not to say the missing parts can’t be bolted on later. In particular any future W3C Linked Web Storage WG protocols.[1]

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are way ahead of you. Ask your heart away. I am unsure about open source models, it'd be interesting to know if they're ingesting the law.

Have at it!

The reality is that the official United States Code gives plenty of history for statutes, while the Code of Federal Regulations gives less but still basic history. Both are also provided in XML in bulk, though the former has a modern USLM format and the latter has an archaic schema. Case law is less amenable to git histories.


CourtListener (from the non-profit Free Law Project) provides bulk access to its case law collection.[1][2] I expect they are ingesting the GPO uscourts collection so it should have near complete (99%) coverage.[3][4]

Common sense?

There is no billion-dollar annual market for quantum compute usage in private industry. Yet these companies are getting billions, and it ain't all grants, stocks, bonds, and notes. Ain't rocket science.
