What happened to actor-relative URLs proposal?


I saw this FEP months ago and thought it was pretty promising. However, it seems that there is no update from then. Does anyone know about this?

link: codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src…

For those who don't know this proposal brings portable identity across fediverse.

in reply to iso

That sounds more like portable object storage, and not portable identity?
in reply to hendrik

As I understand, it will make things work like Bluesky. Users will be able to use their own domain handles while not hosting an instance as a whole.
in reply to iso

I skimmed the first few pages. And it seems it's just concerned with the content? You can store your notes (posts, file uploads, ...) on arbitrary instances and move them around. But you still need a fixed instance that hosts your actor identity (your account) which then tells where to go to fetch a post. And that one can't change. So your account and username would still be tied to a fixed domain handle. And you can't move it. And even for the content, it seems like you'd need that fixed instance to do the 302 forward, so it needs to be contacted to resolve each location.

Edit: But you might be right. I don't grasp the full concept. Maybe it enables us to configure a webserver on our own domain to forward a user handle to some external server. Meaning we don't have to install a server ourselves. And the servers would then be interchangable (if this translates to fetching everything). You'd still be tied to your domain name. But not to a service anymore. That'd be great.

Joe Biden reads Rashid Khalidi, and so should American Jews

[this might be an article to be shared with someone who still has illusions about Israel. Also has links to some excellent interviews with Khalidi.]

Not that any US president could put an end to US imperialism, but there's no chance that Biden read that book. He's always been a staunch supporter of Israel.


What can the android app see when running in Waydroid?


cross-posted from: leminal.space/post/12999238

Hi,

when running an Android app in Waydroid, what data can it see? Can it read my local hard drive? Can it scan my network? Can I manage it to just live in it's container and get nothing but an internet connection?

in reply to Knuschberkeks

If you want waydroid to see files on the host, you need to muck around with bind-mounting a directory, or just using abd to move files manually.

I think waydroid can't see anything beyond itself normally. I had a hell of a time trying to get files on there, so if there's an easy way to get Waydroid to see files on the host, I couldn't find it.

COSMIC Alpha 4 Released For System76's Rust-Based Desktop


reshared this

in reply to Karna

Ngl this Desktop might make me use Popos and even outside Popos it looks nice,Idk about X Fallback. support (Since i play Beamng Which does not run on Nvidia Wayland And i cannot figure out a way to fix it),And i wanna see peoples opinion on it or if people will care anymore.

in reply to Karna

So... there will be Alphas 5 and 6. And we got Alpha 4 a week late, compared to the old release schedule of the last Thursday of every month. And a lot of the things that were meant for Alphas 3 and 4 were pushed back. I hope that System76 doesn't encounter more features that push things back further (the way VRR seems to have done), for their own sake. That way, they can keep up a lot of hype around the Betas and the release of Epoch 1.
in reply to theshatterstone54

That is normal in software development. System76 thinks that they will reach v1.0 early next year, but in reality, this won't mature for another 2 years or so.
in reply to Eugenia

At their self-imposed rates of 1 new Alpha at the last Thursday of every month, and assuming only 2 Betas, and assuming they can get Alpha 5 done in December, we're looking at the end of April for release, though I'd realistically expect Epoch 1 at the end of June or July, or maybe even after that.

This is normal in Software Development.


I know. I'm a CS student, but they are still in a pretty early stage of their project and don't have anywhere near the technical debt or size of projects like Plasma or GNOME, and as such, I think they should still be able to keep on going at a pretty fast pace.

i bet most likely due to the US holiday. 28/11 and 29/11 were the Thanksgiving and Black Friday holiday in US

Generating the Image in the Windows side?
in reply to MIXEDUNIVERS

Forgot to include the boot/system volume. It's a lovely time waster when you're dealing with disk images that are hundreds of gigabytes in size that have to be copied over the network. 😆

I'll add Disk2hvd screenshots when I get a sec.

Situation gets slightly more complicated if you had multiple drives in your system when you installed Windows, of course. Installer might put system volume on a different drive, so you'd have to image more than one drive to get a working system. Might get a little confusing as to which volumes should go in which image. There's a tool called GWMI that might help with that since afaik the volume guids don't show up in the Windows Disk Management snap-in.

Edit: The promised screenshot. In my case, I knew the volume labelled SYSTEM resided on the same disk as my C: drive. Probably don't have to include the recovery partition, strictly speaking, but I did.

Amnesty Report on Israel Genocide: Silence So Far from BBC News


Amnesty International released a “landmark new report” on Thursday 5 December. It concluded that Israel “has committed and is continuing to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip”. But nine hours later, BBC News was still nowhere to be found. The UK’s state broadcaster apparently had nothing to say about “the world’s best known human rights organisation” judging a close British ally to be guilty of genocide.


Utredningar om attacker mot Israels ambassad nerlagda. Flera utredningar om vapenbrott där det funnits misstankar om att unga fått uppdrag att skjuta mot den israeliska ambassaden i Stockholm har lagts ner.

DeepMind AI weather forecaster beats world-class system (this time with Bayesian statistics)


in reply to zlatiah

It's hard to make a good weather forecast tool without theoretical elements incorporated in it.

I'm sure the model produces higher accuracy results on historical data. I read the abstract and it's not mentioned if they tested it on new data.

With ml, the most difficult part of the work is making sure not to overfit historical data. Is target have a less accurate model (on the training data) than a model that can be justified using theoretical reasoning. This way, I can be much more confident that it will work in the long run.

Let's see where this will go in the coming years!

in reply to zlatiah

This is honestly a WAY better domain for the application of ML than LLMs.

Cant shutdown the system!(Fedora crashed)


I have been facing this issue since yesterday, but basically at some point the system becomes insanely slow, and the restart and shutdown options disappear from the menu, tty3-7 dont work, it freezes at the shutdown -now command(at which point I just manually cut the power(bad Idea I know)),

but today I stuck around as my system got insanely borked, eventually freezing up and giving me the screen above. the problem shows up after I wake it up from suspend but not always:
My system specs:

Bluesky isn’t the ‘new Twitter,’ but its resemblance to the old one is drawing millions of new users


What would you say at Twitter’s funeral?

That’s the question my collaborators and I asked over 1,000 people on social media as part of a broader research project on Twitter migration. Responses ranged from the profane to the poetic, but one common theme was that despite its significant flaws, Twitter at its best was truly great … until it wasn’t.

in reply to Florencia (she/her)

It's going to get the most toxic elements from twitter. Social media just isn't cool anymore, like it was back when big sites first developed. They were already overwhelmed with users reporting each other almost as soon as people started moving there.
This entry was edited (3 months ago)
in reply to Ogmios

Once any site is big enough, marketing, trolls, influencers and propagandists move in too. Then it comes down to moderation to keep toxicity down.
in reply to mayhair

“Science?” Yeah no.

I see these posts about how amazing things are at BlueSky literally every single day here. I got sick of it a long time ago but have mostly kept quiet because promoting alternatives to Twitter is a good thing.

However, I’m starting to think that taking up Lemmy airtime to promote another private, for-profit enterprise brought to you by the same guy who sold Twitter to an evil billionaire is perhaps not an approach worthy of extraordinary support.

in reply to mayhair

Perhaps it would be better to link directly to the more scientific sources linked in the article:

doi.org/10.1145/3392847

The author of the article contributed to or co-authored those as well. The article is very general writeup, but there is real science here.
