The concept of having third party "trusted" attesters just screams abuse, corruption, and data selling. What would their business model be? Direct payments from browser companies? Selling "anonymized" data? What if their data security is crap it just ends up being another vector by which leaks and scams can happen? I doubt the average web user is going to understand that all of their data is going to be going thru some man in the middle when they Google something

What about competition? What if attester A has major ties with Microsoft edge and decide to block Firefox users? Or what about smaller third party apps that are made for accessibility reasons? Or hell - what about startups that are trying to enter the market?

The only reason these attesters would be trusted is because the large companies say they are. Theyd be completely at the whims of Google and Microsoft. What a stupid fucking idea with little upside for the end user

If we're following Marx's historical materialism (that society has transitions has a society, roughly being feudalism -> capitalism -> socialism -> communism), I think the next best step is a transition from capitalism to socialism is union ownership. Personally, I think worker co-ops and general syndicalism with a competing in a market for the worker owned businesses would be a great in between step that would not involve a crushingly oppressive state. The goal should be to keep it decentralized so one power structure being consumed by corruption doesn't sink the fleet

Achieving communism thru the state (called vanguard parties) isn't all that well liked by many types of socialists and communists, especially those of us in the west. A lot of us prefer to take inspiration from mid-1900s labor groups who, while not achieving socialism that we want, created infinitely better working conditions and power dynamics for working class people. Most of the people who ran those organizations were socialists/communists in and of themselves, and they often times relied more upon collective direct action than just electoralism.

How Florida dems got their teeth kicked in when this is their competition is simply astounding

This is the kind of garbage that makes me wish beehaw allowed downvotes

I'm burnt out and can't focus at work. Really wish I had more that 2 weeks of vacation time a year

Lmao this is weak as fuck. Sure, it can be seen as problematic in some sense, but... Like cmon. It's not even in the same zipe code, let alone ball park

I mean, they could also just match two accounts by ip in the db as well im pretty sure. That would be a pretty simple sql query

Exactly, and I think that there's even more downsides as well to strictly comment level disagreement. There's never any point engaging with bigoted posts. Replies just draw more attention and make you more angry. Better to just downvote, report, and move on without spending too much emotional energy trying to bicker and squabble for a while thread.

There's just an emotional inequity when it comes to a debate between, for example, a transphobe and a trans person. A transphobe likely knows everything they say can be bullshit - they don't have to stick to reason. The whole point is just a rhetorical exercise where the cruelty and sadism is the point.

The trans person tho has to stick to researching the dsm v or guidances from credible medical institutions and respond with effort posts and Yada Yada. Everyone's eyes glaze over and the end result is the trans person is exhausted and feels worse about their life.

Downvote and move on is just a means of reduction of digital self harm. I find it bad to not have it for cases like that, especially on communities where mods aren't as caring about bigotry. To leave it unchallenged just shows that some people agree with it, and shows nothing to effect of how many people find it repulsive.

This is cat abuse

 

Hey there! I tried loading up beehaw from my computer, and I am getting hit with a crowd sec ban? I can still access just fine from jerboa and mobile, so I'm not sure what's going on. Is anyone else getting hit by this? Did my ip get banned for some reason?

Not sure if this is the right community, but the narrowness of the default web page was driving me a little crazy. I still need to fix a few things (like vertically centering the votes) but I feel that this looks a lot better. If you have the Stylus browser add on, you should just be able to copy and paste this into a new style

Highly recommend trying this out. Mechanics are all solid, and it really wears the inspiration on its sleeve. It feels exactly like a mix of bloodborne and sekiro, in that its parry mechanic is sekiro. The bloodborne rally mechanic is back, with the added twist that you only get a chance to regain health if you've blocked an attack without perfect parrying. It's not as crisp as a FromSoft game, but for a first try new ip, it works real well. Gotta start somewhere

Level design is solid - windy enough to be fun to explore, but easy enough to understand so that you don't get lost. The mana system is pretty standard, and the prosthetic arm abilities that I've tried out are pretty cool.

The world seems really cool. The flavor text, cool setting, and a bonkers reimagining of pinnochio really works well.

Performance is stellar, and this is a damn demo! I'm running 5600g with a 6600xt, and I've got it locked to a smooth 75fps. It could probably go higher, but I'm playing it on a 60hz tv.

And get this - there's been basically no stutter. My frametimes are consistent as hell. It runs shader compilation in the beginning of the game, but it only took about a minute. A demo of a pc port running well? Fucking ludicrous!

Definitely keep this on your radar if you like FromSoft game design.

 

Pour one out for traa

 

For context, Im used to working in MVC with .net core for webdev, which has everything all nicely contained within VS for better or worse. I believe Lemmy uses react.js and rust from a cursory glance, but im not quite sure what exactly is best. Im also curious what db software it would use

Im also curious on how a testing environment would work for this. I imagine youd have to host your own instance to test any changes to have access to data, but theres a lot here that honestly I dont know much about.

Is there any posts or documentation anywhere that would be a good guide to getting started on this sort of thing? I doubt development is going to be as seamless as developing in Visual Studio where everything is all from the same company, but Id imagine that there are particular ides that work better with the types of tools that manage this
