@kedara_eu So I guess my answer to your question is that I don't see a lack of registration necessarily being a problem in itself as long as other methods exist to manage content.

@kedara_eu So I guess my answer to your question is that I don't see a lack of registration necessarily being a problem in itself as long as other methods exist to manage content.
@kedara_eu This is part of my own internal rambling, and is probably insufficiently formed to be of much use to you, but I've recently been mulling over the concept of (centralized) AuthN and how we've got an obsession with email addresses, which tell us absolutely nothing about who someone is. So the difference between a registered user and an unregistered user is mainly just content aggregation and other convenience features, rather than inherent protection from e.g. spam.
@itsolive Yeah I had to message the large local community page on FB about this recently. They shared a picture of a passport someone had found, and they used the highlighter tool to "mask" it. Couldn't make it out on my phone without modification, but on my PC monitor every bit of passport information was clearly visible.
As much as I like Jetbrains Rider when it's all set up, my main concern about having to reinstall Linux is that I'll have to get the various parts of Rider playing nicely with the various dotnet runtimes & SDKs again.
Although with .Net 9 it seems like it's less hassle to just install .net from the msft repo, rather than letting Rider manage a local version, especially if .Net 8 is needed as well (which it seems to insist on for scaffolding identity).
I've been looking into Auth(N|Z) for an ASP .Net WebAPI app, which would need to accommodate both web based logins and potentially app based logins further down the line. As far as I can see, the only clean (F)OSS method, that doesn't involve workarounds, and uses as much battle tested tech as possible, would be a custom OAuth2/OIDC provider written using .Net Identity and OpenIdDict
KC was almost there, but there's no deletion callbacks
Unless anyone has any suggestions?

Anti-Vax guy thinks DEI too embedded in XOrg so he forks it to the cheers of some / chagrin of others
Very Reasoned Opinions on Age of Consent guy helms major #oss endeavor
Firefox, our critical bulwark against IE running away with the internet is also trying to figure out how hard to accomodate AI grifters and executive grifters who are helping themselves first?
Apple enshittified; social media enshittified; Elon enshittified.
It's made #retrocomputing in @interlisp ever so much more attractive.
I'm not one of those *crazy* crazy cat guys who thinks their cat is extra intelligent, I'm just saying there is damning evidence that she's hacked into the auto-feeder.
@AnguaDelphine @terrybot If I recall correctly, it was a comment on how addictive he found it, not the quality of the game.
Thought of the moment.
There should be a version of Whamageddon for pride month, but instead of avoiding the song Last Christmas, you have to try and avoid seeing some bigoted mess complaining about *that* rainbow branded "LGBT" sandwich, from 2019, being "rammed down" their throats.
We could call it Ramageddon.
From someone who is just perpetually confused, to those of you who are perpetually brave, happy Pride Month! βΊοΈ π³οΈβπ
@purserj The only way The Watch could be described as "good" is if Simon Allen created an adaptation of the word.
Although, to be fair to it, it billed itself as "inspired by" Discworld, and Discworld is a satirical reflection on how shit things can be, so in that respect it got it 100% on the money.
oops, I appear to have tripped and fallen into a rant.

@devleader this was something I was pondering earlier today, so I will certainly watch the video later, but I must please ask you to vacate my brain π
You've heard of service animals, well I stubbed my toe, and as I let out a loud exclamation my cat ran in and batted my foot with her paw...
That's right. I have a disservice animal.
@crussel I think she'd have murderised me if I'd tried π
