People seem to conflate two things in this discussion: interpersonal issues (which are valid to talk about) and technical disagreements. Conflating these two can only lead to drama and reflects really poorly on the…
Yeah, I think this is a solved issue. People just share physical media with the content they need. Which is more useful than this proposed solution, because they usually don't misguidedly respect copyright monopolies.
I still don't get what is wrong with the _ convention. Also please stop complicating the mental model of languages for no good reason (also looking at you C++).
god forbid anyone actually learns something at school
Are these the statistical parrots everyone keeps talking about?
> Git (and any merkle tree) already implements a tamper proof linked list, there’s no reason to burn electricity in a proof of work algorithm to accomplish this. Thats why the word "and" is there in my sentence
Surprisingly, thats actually France.
Why are you getting so worked up about what is fundamentally a neat idea, which may or may not be used well? > evading sanctions The horror
Meh, being able to synchronise an append-only tamper proof linked list and control who gets to put what on it in a decentralized way is pretty cool. Not to mention it's far easier to implement with limited means, than…
In an ideal world stuff would be open and secure. But that doesn't seem to be happening.

You had a very priviledged childhood then. The only response to my interests I got from my parents was "you are already good at school why are you straining yourself doing these unnecessary things". And I did not have…
What is has no relevance to what ought to be.
As a sibling comment to mine points out, people who "die or have their life destroyed" is simply one way to define victim in this context. With mental health data being at stake here, the amount of victims under this…
The people affected by the drug trade are not affected by the act of selling drugs but by secondary crimes (which arise because selling drugs is illegal and vendors cannot take advantage of the legal framework). Also…
Well thats the case for every crime. And this one deserves (in my opinion) to be punished more harshly than other things which today are already punished (you mention selling drugs, which is way better morally). The…
I think this highlights a deeper issue with how we as programmers tend to think about abstractions. It is easy to pretend, that you can conjure any interface/any abstraction from thin air as long as you define what you…
This seems to be more an issue with if statements without curly braces.
I have difficulty parsing out the actual substantial complaints about the fediverse in this article. The "I don't want to interact with some unpleasant people" problem seems to be already solved by killfiles and…
