your homelab is locally

your GPU farm is locally

SSD streaming is locally, too!

literally what the fuck are we doing here, they’re saying exactly what they mean

every time a new >1T model comes out and someone jokes about unsloth’s use of “locally” i want to <removed by the production team> istg locally doesn’t mean “on your laptop”, it means “on your own hardware” it doesn’t say anything about the class of hardware or the investment needed

i love living in 2026

you can't update it without updating your whole OS and rebooting your phone.

you can't delete it completely if you don't want to use it.

you can't modify it to experiment without having to build a whole OS image.

it's just a cage. an extremely cool-sounding cage, but a cage non

yes, having an Atmosphere OS with native ATProto account support is extremely cool and all but

at the end of the day the only practical difference from an app-based solution is that you for some reason solidify that as a part of the OS that is way harder to modify or configure

to elaborate on this a bit more

my phone OS has no big single account with a profile picture at the top of the settings list

it has an Accounts section, where each app can do its own thing, and google is just one if the items in the list (email hidden for privacy)

that's how it should be

in short, i don't believe that your OS needs an identity layer in the first place

leave that job to the apps running on top of the OS, don't lock users' choice into a single set of valid options

centralizing your OS around any SSO solution is bad imo

what is good is having a generic way for apps to communicate (which already exists in stock android) and building on top of that

nothing about SSO is sacred enough to be part of your OS

your phone is a general-purpose computer, use it as one

some dual-sign crypto wallets and bank 2FA apps already do this all the time, this part isn't new

what would be new is a standard API for arbitrary third-party apps to communicate with that vault

my room-temperature take is that you don't need a custom ROM to do this

the same end result can be accomplished on stock android with an on-device "account vault" style app using a common API to communicate with other apps that support that SSO schema, no system access or custom ROM required
