  • I don’t hate apple. Especially from a privacy record, they actually have a far superior history than essentially every other hardware manufacturer out there.

    I think they’re overpriced and I don’t agree with some of their design decisions, and in general feel like they could give the consumer more control over things, which is why I don’t personally have an iPhone or iPad etc., I use them at work and have nothing against them in general)


  • This week has been a roller coaster, but I’ve been playing magic research 2, cat clicker on galaxy, and a couple smaller games as part of Galaxy’s verification process.

    Been also really working on my personal website and am really excited in the direction it’s going! The overall theme isn’t implemented yet, but I’ve been converting some of my personal notes into public pages. This week I documented my experiences with life is strange, so if you’re interested in that you could read about it here.










  • I agree with this take, and recently I actually read this article that criticizes how server centric fedi is as a whole. If it’s hard and expensive for a layperson to self host, but you need to have an account associated with a specific server, then you’re going to end up with a system where you’re under the whims of a instance owner still. Not to mention the whole pick a server step severely hurts our adoption rates.

    I like the idea of having an account just being a public and private key pair. Theoretically you could make one client side, use it to sign your messages, and servers could verify the signature and distribute your post without needing to have an explicit account for you. You could send every message to a random instance and it’d still work. You wouldn’t have to worry about links to the “wrong instance” and you wouldn’t have to attach your identity to a instance that might shut down or be bought by a bad person. The server would be essentially irrelevant.
