The NFTs tried to solve this problem already and it didn't work. You can change the hash/sig of a video file by just changing one pixel on one frame, meaning you just tricked the computer, not the people who use it.

Why are these apps being distributed on app stores

Why are these apps not PWAs with an app store deployment wrapper???

It's basically a pattern of:

Me: I have a problem and I need help fixing it

Other: ok but what's the problem

Me: I can't do this for some reason

Other: you're wrong for wanting to do that when you can just do this instead besides you're dumb and stupid and wrong and you should just deal

So I'd just keep changing things until my computer did what I wanted. I'd be fine using a Mac or windows if and only if it was ok to ask for help (meaning that I got to a point with a problem where I can't move forward anymore myself and the only 2 options are to give up or ask for someone to contribute something that makes it so I can make progress)

I almost feel like the compromise we will eventually land on is that if an OS maker like Microsoft wants to continue advertising on your OS they have to take some liability for its security.

3 - voice assistants. wether done on device or phoning into our home servers and having requests processed there, this should be doable and integrated with convenient shortcuts. Home assistant has some things like this, and there’s good-old Mycroft blowing around out there still. Siri is used every day by plenty of people and she sucks. If that’s the benchmark I think our community can easily meet that.

Of all the things that my phone is supposed to be able to do this is the one thing I never touch. It has never worked better for me than just doing it with my own two thumbs.

Does anyone actually use their voice to control their phone (not voice typing)?

So Activpub needs an actor with an inbox and outbox to send and receive content. A did is a virtual actor that reroutes to a real actor and collects content across real actors.

Gpg public keys have a dedicated email address field. And if you don't want to share your "real" email address then just make a new one. (edit) Or don't include one.

And the did stores ur profile picture a public key display names bio etc etc.

Yeah that's a pain point I experienced with Gpg armored packets, I couldn't figure out a way to pack in a PFP. Even shrinking it to 64x64 made the public key file feel too heavy. So I just decided profile pics are out of scope and you should just use gravatar.

U could use pgp as the key in the did if the devs want to support it as a cryptography protocol. The did is also used to sign each message similar to pgp. U simply need more functionality than what pgp provides.

I 80% agree. I do wish PGP armored packets had extra fields and if that's an RFC that could be sent to the Gnupg maintainers then gpg would be absolutely perfect but I haven't gotten around to figuring that out. All things considered since GnuPG already exists and it's already installable everywhere and it already works I figured I could just roll with it for userless atleast. I want to use GPG for all user authentication related concerns.

Whelp here I go again

Why not GPG!!??

I've been working on my own idea for what the "fediverse" should be, I'm calling it userless because I want to avoid users in the database and I wanna use GPG as the individuals identity because it already exists and can yes perfectly verify for me who created a post, I'm not sure why we need more than that.

I haven't flushed the whole thing out yet and I plan to hand write proper docs for the protocol.

But GPG has been around since forever. I've been told that it's too hard to use, it's insecure, it's too old. And when I use the thing I just don't agree, there is nothing technically wrong with the product like it should be way more popular.

I am 100% open to exploring other equally zero effort alternatives if only I had the time CURSE being an adult (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ . Is there anything better I should use, hopefully using existing ssh keys please.

I still use sshfs. I can't be bothered to set up anything else I just want something that works out of the box.

Does anyone vaguely remember those internet licenses from that Star Trek DS9 episode when they went back in time but it was the near future from the 80s perspective meaning that it's actually today?

We're going to have internet licenses soon

I feel like literally everybody knew it was a bubble when it started expanding and everyone just kept pumping into it.

How many tech bubbles do we have to go through before we leave our lesson?

This is so lame for the arch community, like I use arch btws are supposed to be the most hardcore power users and they bugged a dev that badly! I don't know how many tutorial I saw about compiling arch and building everything yourself into a minimal setup.

You can't give me shit for using Manjaro for as long as I did, GLAD I LEFT.
