Recently I had the idea to cryptographically sign my blog posts with gpg. It came to me while I was thinking about various forms of news fakes, whether intentionally misrepresenting news orgs, individuals, or AI generated by the latest round of eldrich horrors we have unleashed.
The idea itself is simple: By signing the posts you can add trust to the source.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@beehaw.org
Rumors, happenings, and innovations in the technology sphere. If it’s technological news, it probably belongs here.
Very interesting idea and it could help with these sorts of problems.
I made a little flask app so I can sign posts on any platform with a short url https://github.com/gregology/pgpsignature
As an example post -> https://pgp.clar.ke/h
I would sign this post but I just migrated to a new laptop and haven’t moved everything yet
