I'm sure fedi is very opinionated about this and I personally can't figure it out, so it feels right to ask:
What DNS resolver should I be using?
We ( @openprivacy / @cwtch ) are looking for a software dev for a short-term contract to tackle a set of Android-related issues for Cwtch.
Specifically we are looking for someone who:
- has experience with flutter (both desktop/android)
- has experience with android / kotlin dev
- is able to work in Canada
Our budget for this is 4800-6000 CAD, and we estimate there is ~1 month of work, with the potential for more down the road.
Please send recommendations/pitches to jobs@openprivacy.ca.
We even have a real-life experiment that proves paying farm workers a fair wage can be done. And prices went up so little, PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE.
In 2005, tomato pickers in FL struck a deal with Yum! Brands (Taco Bell, KFC, & others) to guarantee higher wages.

For the first time since records began, the UK is no longer classified as an “Open” country in a leading global ranking of freedom of expression.
This latest drop continues a pattern of decline since 2014, across indicators including media freedom, internet censorship, academic freedom, freedom of assembly, and the public’s ability to access information and criticise those in power. It now places the UK in a second tier alongside Colombia, Nigeria, Romania, and South Africa.
In a country often hailed as the birthplace of Parliamentary democracy, this downgrade carries undeniable symbolic weight.

Rowe, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church.
Question for #math and #ComputerScience folks: What search terms should I use to find papers related to transitioning graphs to other graphs. Kinda like graph cellular automata but more the basic operations. I want to think about code AST transforms but would like to learn about general purpose graph transforms first. Boosts appreciated.

It is being rolled out incrementally. Dev builds have the ability to enable it now but there are many systems to update with different PQ requirements.You'll see gradually more PQ support over the next 2 years.
