please use matrix we have:

- a client made by an enterprise who will willingly backdoor your messages
- a client made by 3 people that get random breaking changes that completely obliterate flow
- a client that is one giant html5 canvas that uses 100% of your browser gpu power
- a client that requires systemd
- way too many abandoned android and ios clients

please use fedi we have:

- an instance software which is so popular but so feature deprived it makes no sense why it exists, also it's trademarked in a bad way
- an instance software that has so much code rot it spawned 500 forks to try and fix it only to become rotten themselves
- an instance software that doesn't really know what it's doing and instead implemented 3 different api standards, and this is the fork i'm talking about. no one should talk about the upstream project.

this really is the FOSS curse, huh?

i have a cold and the sun is light shining right in my face :painpeko:

@yassie_j@0w0.is what kind

@yassie_j@0w0.is chicken cream soup pls

@yassie_j@0w0.is

@yassie_j@0w0.is what's funny is that they're sometimes accidentally racist because they assumes everyone is white.

gl finding anything that lets you send email from this

but yeah apparently email is @ where host part can be any valid address, and local part can be any ascii string without control characters, and that includes spaces if you use quotes.

@starshine@woem.space not sure, the spec is written for compliance with 7-bit ascii and emoji are utf8 multibyte sequences

yesterday i found out that "i am a fox"@[IPv6::0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001] is a valid email address.

@chjara@akko.wtf @kaia@brotka.st yes so the death is long and painful with a medium chance of survival

TIL fedi/activitystreams is actually Web 3.0 💀

Cryptobros just took the name.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_WebTo enable the encoding of semantics with the data, technologies such as Resource Description Framework (RDF)[2] and Web Ontology Language (OWL)[3] are used. These technologies are used to formally represent metadata. For example, ontology can describe concepts, relationships between entities, and categories of things. These embedded semantics offer significant advantages such as reasoning over data and operating with heterogeneous data sources.[4] ActivityPub is federated ontop of a subset of JSON-LD, which is an OWL/RDF implementation ontop of JSON.

So... the EU commission was actually right calling it the Web 3.0...

@chjara@meow.tuxcrafting.online the real explanation is that everything has a magnetic force even if it's not magnetic, a strong enough magnet that is sensitive enough can detect minor fluctuations in the magnetic field. This is called paramagnetic resonance. It's basically counting how many electrons are in a certain spot depending on how much the magnetic field changes.

but i prefer my explanation

NMR just finds your AT field.

@navi@social.vlhl.dev essentially have the homeserver co-sign the key which can be validated later with the homeserver's public key either on request or cached (all of which has an expiry date of like 30 days)

@navi@social.vlhl.dev i think this is what people mean with "Don't roll your own crypto"

or in this case "don't roll your own key exchange"

@navi@social.vlhl.dev Authorized Fetch is very primitive and direct, but it doesn't really work for peered connections (which is what this would be.) The key exchange only works halfway, and doesn't seem to be thought through.

This is probably why PeerTube has issues implementing it, because it would de-decentralize the platform.
