>You can't change your past, but you can change your future.

This is the dumbest saying ever. The past DOES affect your future. You can only change it to an extent.

@arcanicanis @eriner @alex W3C is not about standards anymore, it's about status. Often people who write specs don't care about implementers at all, and if anything useful comes from W3C, be it ActivityPub or Data Integrity spec, it's almost like a miracle.
Verifiable Credentials at least gets recognized by developers outside of W3C bubble, though personally I don't see much value there besides Data Integrity spec and cryptosuites. The only parties who seem to be genuinely interested in Verifiable Credentials are governments that roll out dystopian digital ID and social credit systems, as this post suggests:

Once I realized DEI stands for Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, I was no longer against companies pushing it.

Found a cheap enough house that has an accessible supermarket AND isn't too too far from the metro (20 mins of bus)

I'll have to go at the free visit (right term in English?) tomorrow :eyes3d:

when I relaunch pawlicker.com on another shit tier lowendbox VPS I'm thinking about making a PC-98 braindump on shit I've learned about the PC-98 hardware over time, it'll just take a while due to anxiety and all.

This is the story of the blue, and therefore white LED. It’s also a human story. Amazing how recent was the blue LED problem finally solved. The video is rather technical in the first half, albeit in a very accessible way.

I understand many of you have misgivings about LED. Hopefully this might alleviate it somewhat.

@vriska @taylan Yes it is, the guy who bragged about having a teenage girlfriend and said how he liked being a school teacher because it gave him access to kids or something

He later tried to back pedal it as being "a joke" but the stuff he said was pretty explicit

I also remember him talking about how only he could maintain the feminist wiki because there were no women technologically smart enough to do what he did

@PurpCat CP spam along with fedposting is why we can't have nice things.

@PurpCat Back when I was in middle school and high school, there was a hotline that we could report bullying and it was 100% anonymous (unless they were recording phone numbers).

@PurpCat I could see CP spammers abusing it to the point where you can't even use it without stumbling upon or accidentally hosting cheese pizza. That's what basically killed ZeroNet, but I'm pretty sure it's possible for nodes to block users that do this shit.

I also like how this set-up basically prevents the whole fediblock culture you see on here. People are forced to block/mute on an individual basis.

So I got back into Nostr after a several month hiatus. It seems like the zap begging has died down. It honestly reminds me of pre-Poast, pre-Elon fedi. It's more laid-back and open-minded (with a slight right-libertarian bias, but that's to be expected), and doesn't have the pedos, glowies, schizos, or dramatards (yet).

CNN blocking the default configuration of Safari is a bold move.

gamers be like "i can't afford a $70 game!" meanwhile they're on their 2nd iphone and 3rd xbox controller in 2 years because they have no idea how to treat their electronics.

how do normies learn or accomplish anything, ever?

they're all two-faced piece of shit that lie to each other at all times about what they are doing
they can't ask questions because that's challenging authority
they can't test ideas because mentioning something must obviously be total approval of the idea, subject to summary expulsion for failing the minutely compliance checks
they can't perform complex decisions because they're too busy figuring out how to be offended by every goddamn word that comes out of someone's mouth

i don't get it
why would god create this bullshit
