You might be confusing the old OpenID with OIDC (short for Open ID Connect), which is based on Oauth2, an entirely different technology.

OpenID was definitely more decentralized compared to how OIDC is commonly used these days, but OIDC has various little know options to do similar things.

Uranium needs to be processed first, and the major uranium processing facilities Europe has been using are in Russia and this kind of equipment isn’t something you can quickly build yourself.

OIDC isn’t “innately centralized”, thats just how the majority of people use it. And the same will be likely true for FedCM.

And sleeping on battery technology.

Extremely annoyed at users that think everyone has iOS phones, when most of the world have Android. Thinking that the US is the only relevant place means you have serious tunnel vision. /s

Oh and blame Apple. They are extremely hostile to open-source devs publishing apps on their platform.

Sounds good, but this FedCM seems to be basically a reinvention of Oauth2/OIDC. Even if it brings some minor improvements (credentials storage in the browser or so?), it seems dead on arrival given that there doesn’t seem to be a strong dissatisfaction with how OIDC works. Or am I missing something?

Probably a bad idea to congest the limited bandwidth of Tor with voice chat.

But you do realize that DeltaChat also received a quite significant amount of money from the US Open Technology Fund over its course of development and to this day it is somewhat unclear how they fund what seems to be several full time developers?

The article is shit, but I kinda agree that the Spanish government is hypocritical in this situation, but mostly for other reasons than the article states.

Anyways, this post gathered some reasonable discussion about the topic and I don’t think people will get the wrong impression that this article is something we endorse here.

Given the political affiliations of the author that isn’t exactly surprising.

I don’t see how the car rental company is at fault in the setup you describe. And the biggest mistake is using a scammy 3rd party like booking’com for interacting with the car rental company (or a hotel etc.). And if you really think this is intentionally done, then you should complain to booking*com that they shouldn’t list that car rental company.

Edit: just to clarify: correct spelling of the name is important for insurance purposes. And if you had booked with the rental company directly then there would have been no issue with changing the name most likely.

The app itself might be fine, but you are either using the Mozilla services or the backend written by Mozilla. Sadly Mozilla has lost all the good will it had and is just another silicon valley AI company these days, and seems to prefer it that way.

The whole post rides on the radical narrative that corruption is at extreme levels and the “socialist elite”, “subsidy-dependent immigrants” are responsible.

I can’t find this in the article or the github repo, but indeed this seems to be a one person vibe-coded project.

That’s from Mozilla, another AI company…

The first three on this list can do it: https://joinjabber.org/docs/apps/android/

Explanation here: https://joinjabber.org/tutorials/service/unifiedpush/

If you use ntfy mainly as a Unified Push distributor on Android, then I highly recommend switching to a XMPP client that can do the same.

https://github.com/lldap/lldap is much simpler.

Good question, but I think you will need to ask the original author.

The coal plants are mostly lignite, which can be locally mined (at great environmental cost). From an energy security perspective this makes sense over being reliant on foreign natural-gas or uranium processing capabilities.

Xmpp and Matrix have bridges that only require to install WhatsApp on some old phone and turn it on once every few weeks to renew the connection.

This works independent of what is mentioned in the OP’s link.
