@eri arguably having an activitypub instance that doubles as an atproto _client_ wouldn't be a hack but i think you're still fundamentally prioritizing activitypub by doing that
February 10, 2026 at 7:36 PM
@eri like i mean. this is a hack i have given extensive thought towards _implementing_. but you can't support both easily because a "correct" atproto implementation can't support activitypub in any meaningful sense, and a "correct" activitypub implementation can't support atproto without hacks
February 10, 2026 at 7:31 PM
@eri you can sort of but it's a hack because they have fundamentally different federation models. an atproto instance is not supposed to process the data at all, just pass it along (equivalent to an activitypub c2s instance, i guess)

it seems like dogfooding lix HEAD to notice bugs early may have resulted in noticing bugs early

i love how sometimes nix breaks in ways that demonstrate entirely new failure modes i never even considered

"error: you are not privileged to build input-addressed derivations" okay

they've said that almost all accounts using features that will be restricted are automatically marked as adult via heuristics, and the facial age estimation is a small client-side model. this does not sound like the design of something particularly intended to maximize accuracy

okay actually i've given this more thought and if this was a calculated move to prevent regulators from legally mandating age assurance with significantly stricter requirements (which i imagine it was) i don't know if i could have chosen a better […]

so is anyone working on a GDPR case against Discord because from the EDPB guidance on age assurance they seem to be following approximately zero of the recommendations

why is github giving me 429s despite https://api.github.com/rate_limit saying i'm fine what

for reference https://developers.google.com/wallet/identity/verify/accepting-ids-from-wallet-online#zkp tldr the user taps their passport to their phone and websites can request a ZKP that the user provided a unique passport signed by their country showing they are at least a certain age
February 9, 2026 at 4:34 PM
are any apps actually using the Google ZKP age verification thing
February 9, 2026 at 4:33 PM
@Rairii oh i would have used this if it existed a few years ago

i like how apple's manpage lists the minimum linux version that supports them but not the minimum macos version.

@sterophonick considering i found some people complaining it actually hurt performance i'm going with the latter

@sterophonick either the game is doing something super broken or that's placebo

@sterophonick the only reason people wanted to change it for ages was because rocm couldn't allocate memory from outside the carveout but that was fixed like 1.5 years ago
February 9, 2026 at 2:18 AM
@sterophonick on modern hardware is there any reason to change it except hacking around rare application bugs
February 9, 2026 at 2:16 AM
@sterophonick it adds controls in sysfs equivalent to the ones in the windows driver settings

@Paravellex you may be amused to learn that i was searching `"in the literature"` on mastodon (for normal reasons) and your account was the top result

do any of the many SDF CAD attempts implement one of the fancier meshing algorithms in the literature that are supposed to reduce topology issues

going up to top 50 adds one EU question, one world politics question, one question with unsubtle political undertones, and one actual question that isn't just a /r/news post
