Just because you're writing this on the fediverse doesn't mean it's the answer to everything. It's certainly not the answer to this.

If you've been saying this for a long time please stop. This will solve nothing. It will be trivial to bypass for malicious actors and just hampers normal consumers.

1. Anybody can also verify it if they just host the hash on their own website, or host the video itself.
2. Getting the general populace to understand block chain implementations or how to interface with it is an unrealistic task
3. What does a distributed zero trust model add to something that is inherently centralized requiring trust in only 1 party

Blockchain is the opposite of what you want for this problem, I'm not sure why people bring this up now. People need to take an introductory cryptography course before saying to use blockchain everywhere.

Weechat is the only other irc client I recommend

First blame the thief. But then in the same breath blame the manufacturers that refuse to sell cars with meaningfully working locks. If you understand the tech many car companies keep selling cars that have locks that are about as secure as a zip tie.

The US has not had uncontrolled gun distribution and nobody is asking for that. You can't legally buy a gun without a background check and more, and it has been this way for decades.

The cost of complying with the dozens of legal hoops is often like 10-20x or more than the price of just a cheap pistol itself.

Larger financial barriers just mean if you're rich you can do what you want and if you're not, you're fucked, which often leads to people breaking these dumb laws and the cycle getting worse.

No, you can't. Hawaii is not a shall-issue state. It's pretty much impossible to get a permit there. Also, criminals won't be getting permits so why should we make law abiding citizens get them.

Make the bad thing illegal. Don't make the tools or the intermediate steps illegal

Bro you can make an ak-47 out of a shovel.

The FGC-9 is a gun designed to be built only from common hardware store tools and a shitty 3d printer and has been used by even the myanmar rebel forces who built it themselves. (Also you can build 3d printers themselves from hardware store and hobbyist electronics store supplies).

Guns are just metal tubes with some extra bits, as knowledge and materials get better, making them gets easier. You're making this statement like it hasn't been a common thing for years

It wouldn't if it had more candela. But low lumens and low candela means it ain't doing shit past 20 feet.

I think he means more like an arms length or enough to walk around it. Not a full on yard.

Not at all. I have lived in two different time zones where I'm dealing with subzero Celsius temperatures for several months of the year.

Yes I know that water does certain things at the "nice" numbers in Celsius. Who cares though? What's so special about water? I'm not boiling water that often, and in my life I've never checked the temperature of water when doing so or have had to care about specific numbers then. Of all substances why does water get to be the one we base everything around?

That is not what I mean. I mean in daily life, most temperatures will fall in that range. That does not mean every day you see them all.

As an American I don't know what you're talking about, aside from the UK most of Europe has amazing food, and the wine there is so much better and cheaper

That one is fun because you concede most of it but then win an argument that fahrenheit is better (Celsius and fahrenheit are both arbitrary but at least fahrenheit scales itself so the range most people use daily, weather, is 0-100)

This is why piracy is a net positive for society.

Why is it a loose canon? It's a problem with the photographer, not the camera. And at best you could argue that they might rattle or drop the camera, but that would just be a vibrating canon or insecure canon.

This pun does not work. Should be something like "what do you call a camera with no screws" or something

No, it's the lack of support in web APIs. Every api is based on width and height, viewport width, viewport height. Nothing allows you to find the angle of the display, rotate DOM elements to align, wrap based on diagonal boundaries etc.

I think both sides are lacking nuance here. If you shit on people getting electric vehicles or just thinking of getting one because that's not far enough: fuck you. But also, for people that just switched or are thinking of getting one but then see something like this and slam into reverse and say "I'm gonna support ICE cars till the day I die to spite those overly hostile woke liberals": fuck you too.

People should be able to take the information in a more nuanced way, and should stop swinging from extreme to extreme which has led to the current fucked state of politics
