          @rose "client to server" api, basically having clients use activitypub to talk to their home servers (and to talk directly to remote servers when needed), over proxying everything over a special api on your home server

          it's very underbaked and needs some extensions so proper decent clients can be implemented, but i love the concept and think if it was taken seriously it could go places

            @rose i even implemented a whole json-ld parser in c so i could write my own server and clients that use c2s as first class, called artemis

            but then i started to hate fedi for a while so i lost interest

            maybe one day i'll try again

              this would not be possible in snac2 on the default web UI because the client is meant to work without JavaScript enabled (unless someone else adds this functionality as optional addon requiring minimal JavaScript to work)

                a c2s client would need to be either an actual desktop client, or server side software that uses c2s and renders out html for you

                (or use javascript, but we all know that sucks)

                  yeah, but this isn't a real c2s architecture as it still uses a server in between to talk to other servers in order to render HTML unlike a direct web client with JavaScript where the browser does the hard work for you

                    it is c2s, the client is just, on a server

                    but it's still talking to the activitypub server via activitypub, that's what c2s is

                          fwiw I've been using with mastodon clients for a while now and it does the job.

                          unfortunately, afaik you don't get push notifs via the masto api, so you either have to poll, or get them via ntfy.sh/telegram/email

                              Tokodon has some problems here and there, but I'm not entirely sure if it's a snac/mastoAPI problem or just a Tokodon bug.

                                and tuba i dont like using because its libadwaita, its just not my style

                                              Thinking about when Artemis was spun up that would all make sense, and one imagines NASA paid for extended support.

                                                  @me depends what you consider ‘modern’ I suppose, and this is almost certainly an enterprise managed deployment, so whatever shipped with whatever generation they are using (and I'd guess they probably aren't using the latest) is largely moot.

                                                  Sad it's not something more exciting, and less Microsoft, but for NASA's constraints this is probably reasonable :/

                                                        An open-source project for verifying the integrity of Android apps—as an alternative to Google's Play Integrity.

                                                        The goal is to make apps such as banking and payment apps usable on independent Android systems without relying on Google services.

                                                        We invite developers, ROM projects, and app providers to get involved.

                                                          @volla Interesting approach, but: How does ensure every interested other and secure alternative ROM can also pass the test?

                                                          @GrapheneOS does heavily criticize your approach. They claim it puts you (your project) in charge of controlling which ROMs pass attestation and which do not.

                                                          Is there any room for a collaboration? It sounds as if rules this out, how about you guys from @volla? Any negotiations possible? Any common ground?

                                                          I, as a user, would just like to use those banking apps without worrying they might stop functioning anytime with any updates. Those banking-app-devs are the real culprits IMHO, to rely on something like Integritycheck theater.

                                                          @volla is your secret that you will convince banking-app-devs to open up their checks?

                                                            @Torx Android already has a hardware attestation system open to everyone unlike this centralized system. Volla, Murena and iodé made a centralized system on top of the Android hardware attestation API to permit their own products while forbidding others. They're not enabling anything which wasn't already possible and are fully dependent on standard Android hardware attestation. Unified Attestation is anti-competitive and it clearly isn't legal.

                                                            Android provides a standard hardware attestation system with support for alternate operating systems via allowing their verified boot key fingerprints. It's mainly used with Google's root of trust and remote key provisioning service but the API supports alternative roots of trust.

                                                            Volla's Unified Attestation is fully built on Android's hardware attestation API. It solely exists to create a centralized authority and service determining what's allowed under their control.

                                                                                  what i like about darcs is it captures actual changes rather than just states and inferring changes between them. a file move will be (as long as properly annotated) shown as a file move, not as a file being removed and another being added. much smaller diffs, and much more concise, so much easier to review.

                                                                                    ...

                                                                                    and i really would worry that a "diff" based model would end up making it a lot harder to do those tasks well

                                                                                    but i do agree that git not having something concrete to indicate a file move, and instead relying on heuristics, is kinda stupid

Three copyright registration denials highlighted by the Copyright Office illustrate that, in general, the office will not find human authorship where an AI program generates works in response to user prompts:

1. Zarya of the Dawn: A February 2023 decision that AI-generated illustrations for a graphic novel were not copyrightable, although the human-authored text of the novel and overall selection and arrangement of the images and text in the novel could be copyrighted.

2. Théâtre D’opéra Spatial: A September 2023 decision that an artwork generated by AI and then modified by the applicant could not be copyrighted, since the applicant failed to identify and disclaim the AI-generated portions of the work as required by the AI Guidance.

3. SURYAST: A December 2023 decision that an artwork generated by an AI system combining a “base image” (an original photo taken by the applicant) and a “style image” the applicant selected (Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night) could not be copyrighted, since the AI system was “responsible for determining how to interpolate [i.e., combine] the base and style images.”

I'd like to verify about this too, but presumably it's an offline standard OCR method. Hopefully. Since it's primarily for text being rendered within the same computer and thus digital accuracy of digital fonts, it probably doesn't require much to do an OCR and even simpler/older methods likely work well without having to resort to "AI" "vision" methods.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Or so I hope (but still would like to see confirmation.)

                                                                                                                                                                                                          The short version: the current prototype is probably closer to a cell or a cage than a strict jail, so the name might indeed not be perfect. The project originally started as an experiment inspired by FreeBSD jails, but while exploring NetBSD internals it evolved into something slightly different: controlled process isolation built around the secmodel framework, a different approach for the tool chain and configuration, and without resource limits and network virtualization.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          Because of that, I’m open to renaming the project at this stage.

It walks through LinkedIn's privacy disclosure to identify 17 companies that may receive and process the data you submit, including name, passport photo, selfie, facial geometry, NFC data chip, national ID #, DoB, email, phone number, address, IP address, device type, MAC address, language, geolocation etc. Unsurprisingly, it seems the biggest recipients are US-based AI companies.
