I think you’re a little late, but nice.
- Comment on Inside Nvidia's GeForce 6000 Series 3 weeks ago:
Am I missing something, or is this very not retro?
- Comment on Yes, in the 1980s we downloaded games from the radio 3 weeks ago:
TIL!
- Comment on What about AT protocol? 1 month ago:
Ah yes, the wonders of OSS documentation.
- Comment on What about AT protocol? 1 month ago:
Leaving aside all the work they did making an alternative more to their liking, that kind of implies it’s like a light switch, and it’s not.
- Comment on What about AT protocol? 1 month ago:
Yep, probably. People are just going to have to get used to it to certain degree, and to a certain degree there’s going to be .world-type instances that act as a user-friendly default.
- Comment on What about AT protocol? 1 month ago:
Oh? Complicated, fragile, something else?
- Comment on What about AT protocol? 1 month ago:
Thank you!
TL;DR, the relay bit works as a completely connected network topology, and has the associated quadratic growth issues, which renders it hard to host.
Also nasty: Direct messages are just not federated.
Other things are or were at the time of writing janky, but nothing else is quite that egregious. The author is working on a separate project, and recommends this idea as a solution for portable identity on ActivityPub, and here’s what “object capability” means.
- Comment on What about AT protocol? 1 month ago:
Really? In what way?
Digital identities being cryptographic and independent of any one instance is huge all on it’s own. The rest of it I understand less clearly, but it looks pretty modular.

- Comment on Dogs may have domesticated themselves because they really liked snacks, model suggests 1 month ago:
That’s not a very good headline. Of course they did it for food, the model was about whether they could have domesticated themselves fast enough without being forced.
I’ll have to actually look into the research; I have trouble imagining how one would model that in silico.
- Comment on Dogs may have domesticated themselves because they really liked snacks, model suggests 1 month ago:
I read about this just recently. It was more of an evolutionary cousin thing; dogs and wolves diverged like a million years ago, well before we were in the picture. The ones humans ran into on our way out of Africa would have been from a different subspecies, and potentially were prone to domestication from the start, while the one that became modern wolves were confined to (now submerged) Beringia until the end of the ice age.
- Comment on I hate how many people are against russian ancestry 2 months ago:
In the US itself, there’s also people that claim they’re every bit as Italian as someone born and raised in Italy, like it’s a biological race. I’ve only seen that a couple times and it doesn’t really have anything to do with the topic, but I’ll mention it anyway because it’s so very, very cringe.
- Comment on I hate how many people are against russian ancestry 2 months ago:
Weird. I have Russians in the mix and literally nobody has ever cared.
- Comment on I hate how many people are against russian ancestry 2 months ago:
I’m guessing you’re in Europe?
- Comment on Trump federally renames Alaska's Mt. Denali to mount mckinley, despite the objections from everyone who actually lives there 2 months ago:
I feel like this about every rebrand. And yet, the media usually goes along with it, and everyone follows.
X is a letter and that’s it.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Hmm, odd. I just posted to .ml with no issues.
This isn’t the chemical polishing post so nobody else gets confused - dullard just posted twice.
- Comment on Is pixelfed.sdf.org fully working? I'm not receiving my confirmation email to sign up. 3 months ago:
Just our instance, or all of it?
Images are heavier, unfortunately, so it wouldn’t surprise me.
- Comment on Can someone explain to me what is happening in /c/humanrights 5 months ago:
Ah. The slash usually means “not”, sorry about that.
- Comment on Can someone explain to me what is happening in /c/humanrights 5 months ago:
No, serious.
If SDF definitely knew this instance existed I’d bug them about maybe looking into this. Someone might need some medical help.
- Comment on We're Back! 5 months ago:
I went to my backup instance. Now I’ll be on two for a bit I guess - I wouldn’t want to leave anyone hanging.
- Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ? 5 months ago:
.ml is kind of Hexbear or Lemmygrad-lite. They’ll ban you for criticising places like North Korea. I got it once for saying Dengism isn’t socialist.
I still use it, because it’s mostly normal, and “we’re secretly the bad guys” isn’t a very dangerous conspiracy theory.
- Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ? 5 months ago:
No. I self-censor a bit there, and prefer other instances so I don’t have to, though.
