by the way, I'm planning to switch two speech to text for most of my typing needs in the near future so expect my grammar to have a bunch of misplaced words.

also, I'm gonna stop bothering with capitalizing for the first letter of each sentence since I mostly using this for programming and that's adding the code for it would make coding more annoying.

one more thing on this topic, what's cool is that of this is pretty much how the protocol handles authentication.

it happens at the tls level and means there's less stuff that you need to do to authenticate a session and manage credentials.

one thing that this thing is sorely missing though is a gps and a cellular modem. I still wish I could use map software to navigate around and I also wish I had more pile internet connection and access to my text messages without having to have a separate device for it

using my smartphone feel so incredibly limiting after using my steam deck on the go. I think the main thing is that it's so much harder to customize and to use keyboard shortcuts that having to find the push and swipe all the time. especially now that I have my speech to text set up to a point where it's more useful. like, I had speech to text on my android at one point it's such a huge pain in the ass to make any customization to it. whereas on my deck I can just edit my python script

@mauve Omg, seriously. Back in 2016, when browsers started pulling support for generating client certs, I basically spent a year creating a new cross-domain authn system for the Solid Project (it relied solely on client certs before that).

But I still think about the kind of awesome world we could have had, had the vendors supported client certs properly. Just boggles the mind.

like the one where your identity is your mobile phone number right? making metadata really trivially attributable??? the one where you can't make an account using only a desktop computer? "doesn't suck"??

We've been punching above our weight at @ddosecrets: we're a small transparency team with a shoestring budget, but hosting over 100 TiB of documents, operating search engines for some of those datasets, and fielding data requests from journalists and researchers, all costs money. If you can donate today, or share our fundraiser, your support right now means the world to us.

Seriously, why the hell are we still using username/password when browsers have supported requesting client certificates for years now.

Literally just learned today that it's an API that's supported in all the major browsers already. Maybe because it's at the TLS/Server-side layer instead of inside client-side JS or the HTTP layer?

Only downside is now I need to add this functionality to Agregore. :P

If only we could spend a TRILLION dollars every year to fight global heating and promote climate justice. But where would we get that kind of money??

Oh...

LLM, AI 

Been firguring out how to integrate an LLM into my flow. So far I'm thinking of using one of these LLAMA based models running locally. I tried one and it kinda sucks for code generation but at least I can run it entirely locally on my steam deck.

My UX flow is going to focus on using selected text in an X11 session. I'm using nerd-dictation to give prompts to the model, fetch "input" from selected text, then have the genertated "output" fed back over the selected text.

»Today, we find ourselves in a situation in which technology has become conflated with capitalism, which has in turn become conflated with the very notion of progress. If you try to criticize capitalism, you are accused of opposing both technology and progress. But what does progress even mean, if it doesn’t include better lives for people who work? What is the point of greater efficiency, if the money being saved isn’t going anywhere except into shareholders’ bank accounts?»

Considering making an alt for posting short stories and poetry about occult / cyber stuff.

I'm a shit writer but I think doing it out in the open as a habit could be a fun alternative to doom scrolling.
