Signal is far worse than Matrix. It depends 100% on AWS. If DJT tells Jeff B. to shutdown the service, that's the end. Of they ask to lock out certain users, such as #NicolasGuillou. There is not much @Mer__edith ccould do about it, I fear.
Anyway, #openStandards, such as #IETF #RFC6120 are the "#goldStandard", rather than centrally developed solutions, even if #freeSoftware (Delta, Matrix).

@kuketzblog „Ja, genau — das passt für mich sehr gut zu ‚ohne Zugang ist alles nichts‘: Nicht das technisch perfekteste Setup hilft, sondern der machbare erste Schritt.“
In der OER-Community hat sich für das Nörgeln darüber, dass etwas noch nicht offen genug ist #Goldstandard übrigens der Begriff #slOERken etabliert.

"Key US science panels are being axed — and others are becoming less open."
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01301-5"A Nature analysis shows that the Trump administration has terminated more than 100 advisory committees to science agencies — and reduced the transparency and independence of those that remain… Researchers say that the elimination of panels and other changes seemingly contradict the Trump administration’s… executive order on ‘gold-standard science’ … to improve transparency in federally funded science."

The gold standard of optimization: A look under the hood of RollerCoaster Tycoon

Consider what happened in Texas in 2010. As part of a highly publicized revamp of the state social studies curriculum, the Republican-controlled Texas Board of Education removed slavery as the central cause of the Civil War and replaced it with states' rights and secession, with Republican board member Patricia Hardy calling slavery "an after issue." The Republican members also considered referring to the slave trade as the "Atlantic Triangular Trade" before finally settling on "Transatlantic Slave Trade."
The new curriculum was silent on the KKK during Reconstruction and failed to mention the Jim Crow era at all. It also equated Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln.
In addition, the curriculum claimed that Joseph McCarthy was correct when he said the U.S. government had been infiltrated by communists in the 1950s, included lessons on why the U.S. needs to return to the gold standard, and asserted that the United Nations, International Criminal Court, and global environmental initiatives undermined U.S. sovereignty. And it scrubbed any mention of Thomas Jefferson's role in U.S. history because he advocated for the separation of church and state.

It's always "more complicated than that." Nevertheless this thread (unrolled so you don't have to go there) brings together some interesting graphs.
Wonder how many should be on the spurious correlations site. 😀

> The #BRICS plan to replace the #USdollar leverages the bloc’s control of 72% of #rareEarth metal reserves, which is significant. Rather than launching a traditional #fiat #currency from scratch, the #BRICSnewcurrency approach builds on resource dominance and a #goldstandard that’s backed by real assets. With 68% of trade already bypassing the #dollar and the #petroDollars experiencing its worst decline since 1973

@Pearl22 #IchBinSoAlt, dass ich als #Student noch für 8 oder 9 DM/h gejobbt habe.
Etwas später hat sich die FU-#Arbeitsvermittlung "#Heinzelmännchen" geweigert, noch Jobs unter 10 DM anzunehmen und 12,50 DM als #GoldStandard ausgerufen.
Kurz danach kam die #Maueröffnung und die Jobs wurden fast alle für 3, 4 oder 5 DM gemacht.
Musste aus #WestBerlin wegziehen, um mir mein #Studium noch mit #Studentenjobs finanzieren zu können.

Update. "The justifications provided in the executive order for this change in policy [toward so-called #GoldStandard science] are false or misleading in their assessment and representation of the current state of U.S. scientific scholarship. Hypocritical in its aims, the executive order claims to promote integrity in science while at the same time calling to remove the “Framework for Federal Scientific Integrity Policy and Practice” that currently ensure veracity and credibility in science. The executive order is also unconstitutional, threatening to take away the First Amendment rights of scientists by punishing them if they publish truthful and accurate science that is contrary to the administration's political agenda. Such censorship of scientists has been attempted by failed governments of the past such as Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and early communist China, always with disastrous consequences for their citizens."

Habe mich in den letzten Tagen mit #Plesk Alternativen beschäftigt. Für sowas ist es echt gut, einen eigenen Testserver im Keller zu haben. #Cloudron - #proxmox und #froxlor waren im Fokus. Alle haben ihre eigenen Stärken und Schwächen. Plesk ist dagegen allerdings #goldstandard und wird bei mir Nummer Eins bleiben. Gerade bei über 40 eigene Instanzen ist es wichtig schnell zu wissen, wo welche Schalter sind. Auch der isolierte Zugang zur #SSH Shell (bei geschlossenem Port 22) ist hilfreich.

Update. From an editorial in Science: The #Trump #GoldStandard for science "officially empowers political appointees to override conclusions and interpretations of government scientists, threaten their professional autonomy, and undermine the scientific capacity of research and regulatory agencies."

https://Climate.gov Didn't Fit Trump's "#GoldStandard"
For nearly fifteen years, https://climate.gov was #NOAA’s #climate #science crown jewel.
The site embodied precisely the virtues the new EO trumpets as “#GoldStandardScience”: reproducible, transparent, clearly communicating error and uncertainty, and subject to peer review.
Yet on May 31, the contract that funded the portal’s editorial team lapsed, and on June 24, the standalone domain vanished.

Examples of #Trump #GoldStandard science:
"EPA says power plant carbon emissions aren’t dangerous. We asked 30 scientists: Here’s what they say."

Trump’s “#GoldStandard #Science” is already wearing thin
#FDA Commissioner #MartyMakary was on one of weekend news programs, where he was asked about decision to limit pregnant people's access to #COVIDvaccines. Host mentioned that aggregation of studies involving a total of over 1.8M had shown #vaccine was safe and effective.
Makary dismissed all that data because it wasn't "#GoldStandardScience," perfectly illustrating how phrase can be used as a tool to mislead public.

#Trump’s new ‘#goldstandard’ rule will destroy American #science as we know it
#Executiveorder allows political appointees to undermine research they oppose, paving way to state-controlled science
Instead of being about open science, it grants administration-aligned political appointees power to designate any research scientific misconduct based on own “judgment” and includes power to punish #scientists involved; this would weaponize government counter to public interest.

Hallucinating #GoldStandard science
"The #MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist."
https://www.notus.org/health-science/make-america-healthy-again-report-citation-errors"Health Secretary #RFKJr says his “Make America Healthy Again” Commission report harnesses “gold-standard” science, citing more than 500 studies and other sources to back up its claims. Those citations, though, are rife with errors, from broken links to misstated conclusions. Seven of the cited sources don’t appear to exist at all."

A new #Trump executive order defines a "gold standard" for federally-funded science.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/05/restoring-gold-standard-science/Three points for now, and more later.
1. Most of the standards (3.a.i-ix) are borrowed from #OpenScience or conventional pre-Trump science. So far, so good.
2. Implementing the new standards is left to Trump-appointed political operatives (3.c).
3. With minor exceptions, agencies must make public "the data, analyses, and conclusions" on which they make policy (4.a.i.A).
More on the 3d point. In Trump's first admin, the Environment Protection Agency (#EPA) and Dept of the Interior required that all data used in policymaking be open. That seemed to be a laudable #OpenData policy. But it meant that EPA couldn't set policy based on private medical data on the harms caused by air- and water-borne pollutants. It was a head-fake to open in order to relax policies protecting the environment. That's why I called it #OpenWashing. Point 3 above is a big step in the same direction.
https://tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/oatp/item_search?q=#oa.epa+AND+#oa.openwashingNote that #Project2025 (p. 439) calls for this kind of openwashing, specifically at the EPA. The new Trump EO acts on that recommendation and extends it to all federal agencies.

I started working on #hyprland yesterday and i LOVE the special workspaces. They are so useful for stuff like #keepassxc. A #tilingwindowmanager on a #laptop is just the #goldstandard for me.

#Trump is trying to move #America to all of the very worst parts of the neo-liberal shift, Breton woods, and the #Gildedage , just instead of the #goldstandard move to the #crypto standard, all of which only ever help the very rich. -
