Working to Decentralize FedCM

This requires manually enabling every additional provider. This doesn’t work if some individuals or smaller collectives wanna run their own identity providers, numbering in the thousands.
See what CIMD solves for. “Innately centralized” was probably a poor choice of words, but OIDC not a good fit for an open social web with decentralized identities and a plethora of small identity providers that cannot be known upfront.
What you’re missing is that OIDC is innately centralized and FedCM, in particular thanks to this work, isn’t.
This is all building on or complementing the same underlying OAuth standards, like the CIMD spec that Emelia originally intended for adoption into Mastodon/ActivityPub to set the stage for decentralized OAuth, but it was never brought in. The AT protocol on the other hand adopted it into their decentralized oauth-atproto standard, which is on track to become a protocol-agnostic oauth-dweb standard.
Anyone who cares about decentralized software should be dissatisfied with how OIDC works. If you wanna use your primary fediverse account to log into other fedi apps, this work is for you.
OAuth Client ID Metadata Document
This specification defines a mechanism through which an OAuth client can identify itself to authorization servers, without prior dynamic client registration or other existing registration. This is through the usage of a URL as a client_id in an OAuth flow, where the URL refers to a document containing the necessary client metadata, enabling the authorization server to fetch the metadata about the client as needed.

> Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has privately played down likelihood original deal will be finalized, although the two companies will continue to have a close collaboration > The companies unveiled the giant agreement [https://archive.ph/o/iOuh5/https://www.wsj.com/tech/nvidia-openai-100-billion-deal-data-centers-d2f85cae] last September at Nvidia’s Santa Clara, Calif., headquarters. They announced a memorandum of understanding for Nvidia to build at least 10 gigawatts of computing power for OpenAI, and the chip maker also agreed to invest up to $100 billion to help OpenAI pay for it. As part of the deal, OpenAI agreed to lease the chips from Nvidia. > > At the time, the ChatGPT-maker expected the deal negotiations to be completed in the coming weeks, people familiar with the plans said. But the talks haven’t progressed beyond the early stages, some of the people said. > > Now, the two sides are rethinking the future of their partnership, some of the people said. The latest discussions, they said, include an equity investment of tens of billions of dollars as part of OpenAI’s current funding round. Archived: https://archive.ph/iOuh5 [https://archive.ph/iOuh5]
I’m confused. This reads to me like a pretty clear criticism of Urbit and Curtis Yarvin. The author is perhaps a bit more explicit about that here: theblockchainsocialist.com/why-urbit-failed-with-…
Why Urbit Failed with Adina Glickstein - The Blockchain Socialist
In this episode, I talk with Adina Glickstein — Master’s student in Media Studies under Nathan Schneider at UC Boulder and editor-at-large at Spike Art Magazine — whose recent Compact Mag article, The Rise and Fall of Urbit finally gave me the excuse to talk about Urbit on the podcast. We unpack what Urbit is trying to be (although many don’t […]

Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing. I’ve been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I’m just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink, more so here on the fediverse than anywhere else. But I’m scared and tired and we urgently need to get our shit together. Mastodon: https://writing.exchange/@erlend/115549403577231766 [https://writing.exchange/@erlend/115549403577231766]
