The 20 year old Apple iSight camera. This is my original Apple iSight camera (Rev C) that I purchased sometime around 2005. Its specs don't mean much today with a mere 640×480 resolution, but to me it stands out as a remarkably well-designed piece of hardware. The best detail was the rotating aperture

The author tells a brief history of passports: they are very recent. China got them since Han dynasty, West got them since First World War. What about Russia? I think it was Peter the First who introduced them? No? It's always Peter the First...

Anyway. Passports are used for surveillance, and with the ongoing digitalization, will be used even more. Everything is tracked with no real need for the citizens. Something like NFT could be used instead. The author talks about age verification and phone contracts. I thought of NFT for medicine: the doctor doesn't really need your name.

What will the world without identification look like? Dunno. I don't really want to lose the ability to get back my money in case I get scammed; how would that work without identification?

So this is what I learned for Oddµ: The wiki is for single authors
first and foremost. All the wiki features like revisions, diffs,
histories, recent changes – they only matter if you have enthusiastic
collaborators that you don’t know and I haven’t seen that in a very
long time. So that’s why Oddµ lacks all those features. Most people
aren’t going to need them.

TL;DR: Lemmy is bad: it does not delete messages and the author is bad too.

A static site, that claims to be a wiki. It is old and fun.

Fetches and converts data between social networks, HTML and JSON with microformats2, ActivityStreams 1 and 2 (including ActivityPub), Atom, RSS, JSON Feed, and more.

Perhaps the matter I most appreciate Go for is its long-term commitment to simplicity, stability, and robustness. I prize these traits more strongly than any other object of software design. The Go team works with an ethos of careful restraint, with each feature given deliberate consideration towards identifying the simplest and most complete solution, and they carefully constrain the scope of their implementations to closely fit those solutions. The areas where Go has failed in this regard are frightfully scarce.
