It is so cringe when i hear people hijack general less descriptive terms like "neurodivergent" to mean really silly arbitrary things like adhd and autism... we already have descriptive terms and that word already means something useful before you bastardized it.
@foone absolutely. Also leads to magi-mechs and orbital magical bombardment cannons.

Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) can be divided into 3 categories, depending on where the authority resides:
- Secret key (did:key, did:pkh).
- Server (did:web).
- Blockchain (hundreds of them).
With a #DID derived from a secret key you can truly own your identity. Unfortunately, key rotation is not supported, and if you lose your key, you lose everything. This can be partially mitigated with distributed key generation techniques that make key recovery possible if only M of N shards are available, but they are complicated.
Servers can rotate keys, but they can also suddenly disappear, and again you lose everything.
Blockchain-based systems support key rotation and don't have a single point of failure (if done right). Sometimes they are called "servers with superpowers". However, popular ones are not suitable for the job because writing to them is very expensive and their clients need powerful computing devices and a lot of storage.
Is there a way around that? Yes. Blockchains can be very lightweight and they don't actually need a cryptocurrency, miners or stakers in order to work. There is a simple consensus algorithm known as Proof of authority, and one of the Fediverse competitors, Bluesky, seems to be planning to build such system:

>We are actively hoping to replace it with or evolve it into something less centralized - likely a permissioned DID consortium.
They are afraid to say the B-word, but "permissioned consortium" is exactly what it is. Of course, their identity #blockchain doesn't have to be the only one in existence. I think in the future we might see quite a lot of "identity cooperatives" of different shapes and sizes. Perhaps even a universal client, curl for identity, can be developed.

USA to ban Tik Tok as fears of china copying dances intensifies.
@Hyolobrika @BrodieOnLinux do you honestly believe that would do anything?
@icedquinn I was severely disappointed to learn that Satanists don't actually believe in Satan, they're just very edgy and hedonistic.
@BrodieOnLinux @neffscape @weirdtreething as mentioned previously nah, maybe half of them, and it makes more sense for "workspace" to mean a space containing a set of windows related to some piece of work independent of monitors, instead of a virtual monitor. It would be cool if some DE implemented both tho.
I also wonder how did the first multi-monitor implementations of workspaces work. Knowing the *nix ecosystem they were already fighting about it back then lol
@Luap314 @lemba @nixCraft seems like most of them are explicitly focusing on the pro-nuclear aspect. I'm familiar with Polish ones such as Zielony Atom, but according to Wikipedia there's a bunch of international ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro-nuclear_movement#Organizations_supporting_nuclear_power. That part of the article seems to be heavily US-centric tho, so there are likely some EU-based that it's missing.
@Luap314 @lemba @nixCraft alright, I went overboard with that one, I forgot that there's sadly a deplorably big group of well-meaning green organisations that oppose it due to plain ignorance and fear, and the pro-nuclear green movement is only a sub-group, even if big, growing and scientifically supported.
Events like entire green organisations or their parts being funded by oil magnates, and high-ranking politicians behind Energiewende being allegedly bribed with Gazprom positions for making Germany shut down its nuclear plants in favour of Russian gas and the promise that it's only temporary and they're totally gonna replace all of it with renewables any day now certainly don't help.
@BrodieOnLinux apparently not every. TIL tho. Both approaches have their advantages.
@BrodieOnLinux isn't that what everything does? It's a workspace, not a monitor instance.

China: “Remove all VPNs”
Apple: “Sure thing”
China: “…and podcast apps”
Apple: “Can do boss!”
China: “…and also hand over all iCloud data for our citizens”
Apple: “I mean why wouldn’t we? Here you go!”
EU: “Allow alternate app stores, and do it fairly”
Apple: “Ahhh hell no! This is so unfair you guys are bullies! Malware! Privacy! We have standards! Unlike you we care about our users!”
@lemba @nixCraft you mean glad, right? Sorry, can't read the article due to their donate button taking 1/4th of my phone's screen, but pretty much all actually green organisations are proponents of nuclear due to its lowest impact on the environment and those that oppose it are usually the Germany case - literally paid off or even funded by oil industry giants.

The Doctor: The assembled hordes of Genghis Khan couldn't get through that door, and believe me, they've tried.
Voice from outside: This is the Lock Picking Lawyer, and what I have for you today is a Type 40 TARDIS....
@icedquinn oh yeah, udev functionality is cool too, from what I see runit only sets up things once and doesn't respond to changes. So I'd have to install something that does that. I assume there's a lot of other "bloated" systemd functionality that is quite useful and installing separate tools to do all of them so that they don't have to be coupled with the pid 1 would exceed the bug surface.
