Last Notes npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1zdp…vqv8 and thank you for answering the many questions we had after the first one, lol npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes "hate group" means something specific that, personally, we don't want to water down. so we won't call Autism Speaks a hate group. however, their mission statement lays bare their intent to harm the autistic community. they do not speak for us. as an autistic adult we would greatly prefer that your donations instead go to the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. https://autisticadvocacy.org/ npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1g5t…xw4h awwww! cool! npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes so the thing about passkeys is... it's two different technologies. it's an abstraction layer that treats them as the same when they are really, REALLY not one of them is the older thing, the one you should actually want, where you have a hardware token and you use that to log in to things the other is the new thing where Apple or Google or Microsoft manage all your logins for you, so that if you are ever at odds with those companies you're locked out of your entire life at once. efficient. npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1r4h…u0jf @npub15zr…z62j read-eval-print-loop is just a lot to type out if you're in the habit of saying it :D npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1r4h…u0jf @npub15zr…z62j a read-eval-print loop. a command prompt where you type an expression or statement in the language, the interpreter evaluates or performs it, it prints out the result, and then you do it again. sorry. a few decades ago we were into Lisp, so now we call everything that. npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1r4h…u0jf @npub15zr…z62j yeah tbh we just pull up a repl for whatever language we're into this decade npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub19dt…05k8 right, like, the really frustrating thing is that we like almost all of systemd's architectural decisions... and we do believe there need to be more people paying attention to overall ecosystem health stuff with Linux... but we don't like the clear hegemonic intent. BDFL is not an appropriate governance structure for something with this scope. npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1a8d…d7w3 *sigh* we really need to write something more thoughtful about this topic but reading how you put it is quite cathartic npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1szf…ntg4 when we came to Canada, the official recommendation was that we get a library card as our first form of ID, to help bootstrap other IDs why? because librarians are all about increasing access. so their policies explicitly allow you to use an emailed receipt from a hotel as proof of address. holy SHIT can bureaucracies be inhumane sometimes... library bureaucracies, though, seem to have figured out how to stay human npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1zdp…vqv8 we did once read a cool Donald Knuth paper (a computer scientist, not an anthropologist) which took a detailed look at algorithms found on ancient sources and compared them to how modern algorithms are written. depending on how much context exists for this tablet we definitely wouldn't discount the possibility of having a math person take a close look at it to figure out what it's doing. npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1zdp…vqv8 ah! we wondered if it was going to be a Babylonian thing :) could it have been conventional to round things off to 49 instead of to 0 for some reason? npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1zdp…vqv8 not off the top of our head npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1zdp…vqv8 um, are they possibly doing time-domain processing? like building up an image by moving their heads around and noticing how their one pixel changes? npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1zdp…vqv8 oh it says 3/3 you're not going to tell us this is a legit mystery oh NO! we need answers! npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1zdp…vqv8 haha, yeah we've never heard that one either we do make up proverbs sometimes but we try to be honest they're ours.... npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1zdp…vqv8 we have never heard it. our first thought would be that it's something furries aspire to. npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1r4h…u0jf we keep meaning to learn our way around the whole testing-your-Faraday-bag thing npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1s2r…7gng oh excellent. you know, it's quite a useful resource even for people not directly affiliated with Archive Team. npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1y0e…mm9n we were very young children in the 80s, so nothing we wrote back then was useful to anyone, it was all just fun stuff :D still, we wish we had it, for personal reasons npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1y0e…mm9n oh hey that was you! we've definitely used this at some point, neat! npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes hacker news comment: "something cool about reading code from the 1980s" we're old. we wrote code in the 1980s (wish we still had it, our oldest personal archives only go back to the 90s) we get the feeling though, it was how we felt in the 90s while spelunking around code from the 60s and 70s npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1wjw…ue5t not bragging about our information security practices in public npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1a3h…m44m oh. huhhhhh. then yeah that seems like a digging into the math thing, and we're at the limit of our knowledge. npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1a3h…m44m regarding sensor calibration, we're pretty sure the strictly proper way to make the curves is by using ISO standard illuminants as photography stuff goes it's not complicated, but certainly it requires some equipment and knowledge. if we had more spoons we'd volunteer to do it just for the fun of learning how npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1ynl…873s mm. people form parasocial relationships with software tools, and forget that there's humans behind them, to an even greater degree than they do with ie. TV shows and video games. like, everyone forms their own relationship with the tool, and most people forget that they aren't the only one who has such a relationship. npub19dtu7tr7tvghw4l684gdtnrsslhgwkjyv06s2zcl4tzscvs2ru4qyp5xhd Many Irenes @npub1fsp…pger @npub1hyk…3p33 as an ex-Google privacy person, we endorse this description of the company's business practices. it's fucking bullshit and they absolutely should not be playing every role in the ecosystem like they are.
