I wish there was an ActivttyPub tester / data flow simulator that can emulate, like, activity of various Fediverse software for testing compatibility.

Like, you're developing a new AP software, and want to test how well it integrates into the existing instances, and you want to emulate, say for example, a busy Mastodon instance. You just spin this up, point it at your new software, set what kinds of objects and activities you want to exchange, and run it.

I bet, this would've speed up the development of the new AP software significantly.

@bogdan is the inverse true as well?

I mean, does everything that can suck your dick use a phone number for auth?

Omg, it's probably true.

Ну вот, обидел хорошего человека.

@a1ba Does it only work on nvidia cards?

@cwebber Isn't royalty *all* about nepotism?

It's fascinating how, in nature, critical thinking is actually a high-level anomaly. It's energy-expensive, it's demanding, it's built on other stuff like neuroplasticity, abstraction and language, it's hard. The vast majority of life on Earth is not generally built around it - most creatures are just content with their own ecological niche they're evolved into and just want to be left alone and not die, resources permitting.

But not you. You are incredibly lucky(/unfortunate) to have this incredible, very unusual, very not-normal tool at your disposal. A creature that is capable of questioning its environment, and most importantly, questioning itself.

Even if everything is ruined, even if your life is shit, even if everything has gone tits up, I want you to know that you're still kind of a miracle in plain sight.

Don't waste it. Use it for good. While you still can.

@killyourfm Are you back at Forbes?

The wide availability of transport layer DDoS attacks (especially stuff like UDP flood) shows us how extremely and deeply broken the Internet actually is, and how much of it is an honor system designed for much simpler times.

@hj that's me if I wore glasses and was female.

Dear game graphics developers. Stop making frame upscaling and frame generation technology into a necessity.

Seriously, stop.

I mean, it's definitely a nice-to-have, and within its own limitations, it can be a good addition to the graphics pipeline, but it definitely isn't a replacement for graphics optimization.

Frame generation can help you slightly increase perceived smoothness - which is awesome because it's not a tragedy anymore if a game drops a frame or two, but in order for it to work properly, there has to already be a lot of frames.

Frame upscaling can help you slightly increase total resolution of a frame - which is awesome, because I can take a peek at new demanding tech like raytracing without buying a NASA computer, but in order to work properly, there has to already be a lot of the frame itself.

See how those algorithms are self-limiting? It's by design. Stop hiding bad graphics behind them.

We've already been there with bloom, depth of field and motion blur.

@djsumdog capitalism simps talking like proper fascists ("the weak", etc.) ain't news to me as well.

Shoo.

DEI programmes have always been a fig leaf.

Granted, pretend inclusivity is better than none at all, but don't ever kid yourself with any false hope: they'll turn on a dime as soon as the spreadsheet shows any possibility of financial risk.

Capitalism has no ethics. It's important to always keep this in mind when interacting with for-profit corporations in any capacity.

Lemmy rules!

It seriously fucking does!

@maj The thing is - you don't really need to

https://lemmy.world/post/24584410

I don't have a Lemmy account.

This is why I'm so excited.

@maj Well, you must log in or register *somewhewre in the fediverse*, I guess. Which you did. Evidently.

@maj You just mention a group you want to post to and it appears.

Magic.

@maj You just create an opening, non-reply post.

On your Mastodon account.

While mentioning a Lemmy group you want to post to.

The post appears in the Lemmy group.

Profit.

@maj You browse Lemmy instances.

You do know how to import fedi objects through search, do you?

The Unix Way, everybody!

Also, first post!

@linuxmemes

@ErikUden Oh, shit, there's no even plausible deniability left for them at this point.
