Are Maxis 100% Certain They're Right? How to shake 'BTC doubt'?
Bro, literally, https://www.namecoin.org was created because Bitcoiners didn't want it on Bitcoin. Bitcoin is money, other coins are structures that work better as OTHER types of protocols. Not everything is a scam. Bitcoin is the decentralized protocol for money, other coins aren't, it's not a big deal.

A Proof-of-Work solution to Impersonation using vanity addresses
Cryptocurrency is intended to be decentralised, to have privacy and security. A vanity address provides the opposite of privacy, which is traceability and publicity. This needs not be a weakness but can become a strength. Vanity addresses are hard to generate since they are almost random and getting the exact prefix (or string within the address) is exponentially unlikely. It is also why private addresses cannot be derived from public addresses, for hashing is a one-way function.

Is this project still in progress? Is it closed?
I've not seen much from namecoin devs here in a while, and the forum looks pretty dead. However, Twitter @Namecoin looks like it gets posted to somewhat regularly (not much in November tho) and the GitHub namecoin-core repo is receiving commits regularly... even if a lot of them are just merges from bitcoin-core.

Decentralized Dynamic DNS?

Calling Git a blockchain to rebrand bad tech
What problem does Mastodon solve? Just non-Twitter shortform social networking? What about Diaspora, PeerTube, etc?
Not being beholden to a central authority (whether that authority be Twitter, PayPal, or the US government) is intrinsically valuable to a lot of people. Blockchains are just a convenient and proven way of enabling that sort of independence.
Granted, decentralization is a bit of a niche, and the cryptocurrency gold rush has made it way more mainstream than it has any right to be at this point in time given it's current drawbacks. But that doesn't mean it's not valuable.
As for blockchain specifically: yes, decentralized payments seems to be the primary use case. But once you have a decentralized payments system, that enables the creation of a whole bunch of other decentralized applications that would not have otherwise been possible. That's why most "blockchain" projects start with a currency and then build from there: it's hard to build [decentralized cloud storage][1] or [decentralized DNS][2] without first having a decentralized way to pay for those services.

Generating and Working With ScriptPubKeys in Bitcoin Transactions
As mentioned previously, ScriptPubKeys are scripts that embody the locking conditions of bitcoins in a Bitcoin transaction. They are a crucial element of a Bitcoin transaction that specifies the requirements that must be met before an unspent transaction output (UTXO) is used. The ScriptPubKey, combined with the Amount, creates an output of a Bitcoin transaction. Like every other script, ScriptPubKeys are made up of operators and data. During the encoding of a transaction, both data and the operands are represented in hexadecimal format. You can find the hex representation for all operands used in Bitcoin Scripts here.
