@lizard_socks@lemmy.world can you clarify?

King’s Reign has been fun, deck builder Roguelike where you play soldier cards and they combo while marching left to right along a board with three lanes.

If you are familiar with Azure there is the project PandaCap by @lizard_socks@lemmy.world which is a self-hosted reader for activity-pub, ATProtocol, RSS/Atom and integrated with DeviantArt and other art sites.

I haven’t actually issued it over to my ereader yet, but I have a Boox so I will probably just use the Kiwix android app

Have you actually smelted and alloyed useable steel from ores before? That’s a choice skill to have practical experience with at a small scale.

This is a good reminder, I need to upload my Kiwix backup to my eReader. I keep a Wikipedia essentials download, survival and medical encyclopedias, and a bunch of “from the ground up” engineering resources backed up offline.

The best inventions do progress with backwards compatibility

MPE and MIDI 2.0 would like a word zir

I actually like the single-user Delft hosted aspect.

As far as the Microsoft stack goes, could it be hosted on a home server running Windows or does it have to be in the cloud on Azure?

One other question, how does PandaCap handle PeerTube posts? Same as image posts?

PandaCap is freaking awesome! Pretty much just what I had in mind when I posted previously about a single client to act as inbox for all ActivityPub and RSS/Atom content, only I had imagined it as a browser plugin or full on custom browser so that the content from the inbox would be opened in a client of the user’s preference based on post type.

Really awesome project! including DeviantArt etc is really great for the art angle.

The only feature I would miss here vs. other clients is the search function as you mention. I assume that is omitted because it is a lot of work to implement. Have you looked at extending your project with someone else’s code for that function? I know sometimes that is more trouble than help, but it would really take the project to that next level of “completely full featured client”.

I have looked at wafrn, definitely a cool project and I like that it handles both protocols, but it has some limitations that hold me back from switching to it as my main client. I didn’t know it was using a PDS in that way, do you mean it uses a server side PDS to mirror ATProto content or is it PDS per user?

Smiley Face, truly a stoner classic, basically no plot at all but also excellent.

Why do ATProtocol projects tend to look so much more polished even in their infancy? Is that where the front-end people dwell?

No community modded groups, not a Reddit-Like, FrontPage is more of a Digg-like I guess? Anyway nookie looks way more useable.

I realize my title has little to do with the post, lol, tired ADHD brain. I did have the thought that if someone were to be ambitious and motivated enough, the Red Dwarf code could be used to build direct access to BlueSky content into a Fediverse client.

But then, I’m always the guy in the corner pining for the good ole’ days of Trillian for IM, the one client to reach them all ^_

huh, interesting, a private text based internet protocol where everything runs server side and all sends are encrypted by default. I see the appeal.

When OpenWrite says “publish to the open web, Gemini, or Mastodon” what does it mean by Gemini?

Indieweb is for you! Give Micro.Blog a try, it has native ActivityPub integration. https://indieweb.org/Micro.blog https://micro.blog/

If only I were the king of the world!

I think what you are arguing for is hardcoding requitement for signatures with an “age appropriateness” ranking into the OS. How does this change the current situation where adult sites and apps are legally required to have an age verification popup/warning? Whether signature based or graphically based, what is at issue here is age verification which means referring to some “repository of truth” outside the will of the user. The problem is that the effect of this is to link government ID directly to web traffick, as to truly verify age requires verifying identity meaning abolishing anonymity on the web and enabling complete tracking of dissent.

I could see a version of what you are describing akin to the way physical cryptographic keys are used to manage DRM on high end enterprise software, where identity/age verification would need to be done by the hardware vendor and not the software/site, the problem with that however is the aftermarket and multiple-user devices. You could say that the “age key” would be a hardware device sold to adults using physical ID akin to spirits or tobacco, something like a SIM Card but preferably with NFC rather than having to be installed in the device. “Adult Access” would then be enabled on sign-in by scanning the “age key”, enabling onboard software to serve software and sites that don’t have an “all ages signature”.

Honestly as I write this, it isn’t the worst solution, the main thing would be keeping the Age Key as an interchangeable, replaceable device that only interacts with the OS and isn’t referenced by other software, so it doesnt just become another Digital ID proxie.
