  • I think there's a real fear that federation can potentially leak a significant amount of user data, down to IPs and tracking fingerprints. Even if the version in the main git doesn't do that, it's not inconceivable that this kind of data mining could be quietly implemented as extensions/forks at some point. The threat surface just seems so massive with all the different servers involved in the trust model.

  • The value of tokens on the Blockchain are ostensibly related to the value of the apps that stake/work supports. NFTs were just another attempt at creating some real app/service value which didn't have all the difficulty or intrinsic value problems that being a payment processor does.

    The core problem is the same though. Speculative value of the tokens can't really exceed the actual intrinsic value of the underlying Blockchain apps. For such apps to actually work as intended, more thought needs to go into anti-speculation mechanisms.

  • Practicing what exactly? Losing brain cells?

    If it comes down to there being any form of political power being dictated by such single combat, society will already be irredeemably fucked.

    These people are just squirting toxic masculinity onto each other. Who gives a shit?

  • This is unfortunately how a lot of online privacy communities feel. Like it's mostly performative privacy fan service. Often with a weird martyrdom thread running through it, almost as if people are mixing up the ideas of privacy, with simple rebellion against modern technology.

  • I would be legitimately impressed if the data is scaled based on the volume of the implied cylindrical section defined by that surface border, if only because that's a pretty annoying calculation to make.

  • As a person of Dutch descent who is alive today because US GIs liberated a concentration camp right before my grandmother starved to death, this is extremely offensive, and you can go fuck yourself with your puerile contrarianism.
