My eyes have been struggling with reading anything light on dark again lately so here's a gentle reminder for anybody who needs to hear it that a lack of light mode is an accessibility issue too

HAPPY MANJARO CERTIFICATE EXPIRATION DAY ‼️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥

@decryption @piepants I believe that’s the point

Sometimes I visit BlueSky and... it's not that folk on there are bad in any profound way, but I always leave the place with a sort of unquantifiable misanthropy. Something about the place just makes me want to escape to the wilds. I don't know whether it's the omnipresent Americanism or the fact that all posts take the form of a critique on a critique on a critique, but the atmosphere is just crushingly claustrophobic. It seems like everybody is desperate to convince themselves that they're part of some intellectual priesthood. Just exhausting stuff.

@decryption THANK FUCK FOR THAT!

이제는 사람들이 漢字語(한자어) 【標識(표지)】를 한글로 「표지」가 아니라 「표식」이라고 적는 것을 그러려니 하고 받아들여야만 하는데… 아직도 너무나 거슬리는 것이다. 【標識板(표지판)】은 「표식판」이라고 안 읽을 거면서!

方今(방금) LLM이 「표식」이라는 表現(표현)을 쓰길래 생각나서 썼다.

i was talking about trying to use bluesky less often and @nixanadoo reminded me that she’s still active. big hugs to all of
my mastodon homies, sorry i’ve been away for so long

@Steve_Lindsay @cjmoorehead @PaulBusch they are routinely invented, by teenagers no less, but because they are a felony (also why they are primarily released by teenagers), they immediately disappear.

In the sponge construction, the input is applied to and the output is extracted from the same part of the state. This is in fact essential for the simplicity of the indifferentiability proof of the sponge construction

i'm no crypto genious but this sounds wrong

@hoergen Genau die, die laut fossiler Mafia, vorangehen sollten.

@piepants sometimes AI sucks all the oxygen out of the room

more specifically it's very obviously an attempt to dodge how finite-field diffie-hellman is still the best CSPRNG on the market

Trump’s name is toxic now.

It’s also discouraging because smolweb.org is an extremely sane and kind type of standard! Many other alternatives like Gemini <https://aartaka.me/gmi-a11y.html> and @h3rald ‘s SubWeb (mentioning for fairness) are not really concerned with Accessibility nor semantics. smolweb balances stuff really well… unless it’s AI that’s not kind in any imaginable way.

literally you look this shit up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponge_function

algorithms with finite internal state that take an input bit stream of any length and produce an output bit stream of any desired length.

ah so it's a turing machine. you're describing a turing machine

For my upcoming trip to New York, there’s a queer women’s event that requires KN95 masks, medieval-themed market and crafting party, that I’d love to go to
