The Constitutional Convention is not only a celebration of Cardano’s evolution but also a testament to the global mission that has led to this moment.🌐

Over 1,400 participants across more than 60 workshops have come together to craft a Constitution that reflects the diversity and inclusivity of our ecosystem. Each workshop has appointed a Constitutional Delegate to take part and represent their voice. With delegates arriving in Buenos Aires and Nairobi from around the world, the Convention demonstrates the power of collaboration across borders, perspectives, and cultures.

Cardano’s governance journey is proof that decentralization can bring us closer together, redefining how we create and uphold shared values in a global digital landscape.

Let's make managing infrastructure on your own machine less cumbersome. Simplify it with NixOS and containers.

Is there any plan to open source the code in Arctic?

I was recommending this app the other day at a FOSS meetup and I felt like such an idiot when the group broke it to me that this app is closed source.

I have been using it for a long time (and even paid for it). For some reason, I remember hearing that it was FOSS.

If not, what would it take to get you to open source the non-pro features?

As it is, the ubiquitous app in this ecosystem is Voyager (and that’s a crummy PWA) which is fully open source. As a result of that decision, Voyager enjoys a LOT more popularity because it is open source.

You may even get free help as a dev if you open source it. Right now, I’m planning on making my own that is open source from day one … but it would be nice not to have to reinvent the wheel again on iOS.

Has this person even considered the incredibly dangerous precedent being set where BOTH sides of the two party system have constituents that actively encourage them to abandon the rule of law?

What could go wrong?

Those damned leopards were so cute that I walked up to them and pet them.......but they ate my face!

Don't come crying to me when the leopards actually eat your face.

This one video (and the pervasive tendency of Centrists to engage in echo chamber building using "official block lists" on world and BlueSky) has inspired me to start this community.

*Maybe he's joking and I am not in on the joke? *

Is anyone else bothered by the fact that Midnight is closed source? Here's the terms one must agree to before running a Midnight node. I am very close to closing this community because we were sold a bill of goods. Here's the agreement one must agree to before being a part of the midnight community. I don't trust it at ALL.

Emily Nicolle / Bloomberg: The UK plans to draft a regulatory framework to oversee stablecoins and staking services as part of a single overarching regime for cryptoassets in early 2025  —  - Planned legislation pushed back due to change of government  — New administration to publish single overarching crypto regime

In a world increasingly driven by inherited wisdom and conventional practices, the ability to think from first principles has never been more crucial. As a security researcher and advocate for evidence-based reasoning, I’ve discovered that our most transformative insights come not from building upon existing assumptions, but from questioning everything and rebuilding from fundamental truths.

A new saga is unfolding in the open-source realm. Matt Mullenweg, founder of open-source web content management system WordPress, which powers about 40 percent of the world’s websites, has accused WP Engine, a hosting provider for WordPress-built websites, of violating WordPress trademarks. They’re currently embroiled in a legal battle.

Lukas Aumayr presents his collaborative work on the paper 'Blink: An Optimal Proof of Proof-of-Work'.

Designing light clients for Proof-of-Work blockchains has been a foundational problem since Nakamoto's SPV construction in the Bitcoin paper. Over the years, communication was reduced from O(C) down to O(polylog(C)) in the system's lifetime C. We present Blink, the first provably secure O(1) light client that does not require a trusted setup.

The Patriots travelled to the Windy City and dominated an injured an inept Chicago O line. The guys talk about the noticeably changed gameplan, Drake Maye's leadership, and whether or not this a turning point. We preview next weeks game against the Rams in Foxboro. And as always we take a look around the league as well. Thanks for watching!
