I’m reading about ATProtocol so you don’t have to.

Instead of ActivityPub IDs (which are URLs like https://gleasonator.com/users/alex), they use DIDs (“decentalized ID”). What’s a DID? Absolutely nothing - it’s an 87 page document describing the format of a string that starts with did: and no implementation details.

The implementation is up to you. Well, there are some already. We have did:etho:Ac9aB5Fc04Dc1cB1789Af75b523Bd23C70B2D717 for Ethereum addresses, did:dns:alexgleason.me for domain names, and there’s even one called did:id:xxx for MasterCard’s proprietary/centralized(!) ID network. DIDs are in the format did:<method>:<id>, where the method can be a known method enshrined by the w3c, or a custom one.

So what’s ATProtocol using? A custom “work in progress” DID method called “placeholder” (did:plc:<id>) that… seems to talk to a centralized server?

Remember when Bluesky was under development for 2 years because they couldn’t figure out how to do decentralized identity. So what did they do? THEY JUST GAVE UP?

The did:plc spec is a vague “work in progress”: https://atproto.com/specs/did-plc

We cheekily titled the method “Placeholder”, because we don’t want it to stick around. We’re actively hoping to replace it with something less centralized.

So they still haven’t actually solved the core problem they set out to solve… are they going to resolve DIDs by talking to a centralized service? I suppose they thought since DID has the word “decentralized” in it, that’s good enough to move forward.

This is not inspiring confidence.

'AI-Powered' Music Mixer Responds to MAFIAA Copyright (which is a scam) "Infringement" Threats

In the train, when an old woman saw me maskless (which I always am), she was looking very stressed out and was constantly checking whether there were any holes in her mask or not.
Than I sat down next to her, and she became even more stressed, so much so she couldn't stop moving like if she had ADHD syndrome.
Then 2 other maskless people hopped on the train, and she started freaking out even harder.

This is the levels of brainwashing we're still dealing with here, fuck you J-Gov, fuck you mainstream media, fuck you WEF/SDGs/UN for literally destroying Japan so hard that they've literally become unable to end the scamdemic...

Me a few years ago: spending money on tech and crap I wanted
Me now: spending money on stockpiling stuff and grow lamps so I'm less reliant on Kroger

should be

> The problem is fiat currencies rather.

Because "problem" in Japanese is "問題" (mondai), so it looks like "money", and was thinking in 2 languages while typing somehow.

@digdeeper @TerminalAutism @udon @xianc78 The money is fiat currencies rather.
Anything that can be printed up endlessly is going to lead to a power grab eventually.
The white pill would be that the bigger the power grab, the bigger the push back, and the bigger the push back, the quicker the collapse.
