I know that the chans were used for orchestrating some of the various harrassment campaigns that have happened throughout the years, including most of the gamergate BS. They're such chaotic spaces I can't imagine trying to pull off any prolonged actions on them, and the automatic pseudonymity really brings out the seediest people possible.

If a defederated game/app store comes out that any company can put games on, I might make an account for that.
Walled gardens run by Corporate entities, though? I'll pass.
I watched though about half of it, before concluding that this video is only going to be a summary video that won't answer my questions fully.
Digital ID and Digital signature are absolutely necessary, though depending on how those two are implemented I could still see fraud and vote manipulation being feasible. I was hoping someone with more knowledge about how Estonia is doing its security and verification systems to ensure records aren't being modified maliciously.
Time to liberate the Russians from themselves.
Maybe get some of that oil. Yaknow, freedom it up.

It's a good thing the US has equipped every satellite with a concealed carry weapon /s
One thing I commonly hear as an argument against electronic voting is security and ease of vote tampering. Is Estonia solving this issue and, if so, how?
Me when something cold touches my back.
Monolithic Archive systems like Internet Archive are cool, but we really should be pushing for better localized infrastructure usage for this kind of archiving, IMO.
That's another potential defederated API to build out. I doubt it will end up developed, since most opensource devs are already busy on other projects.
I've learned that most of the time I'm just going to have to break down what I mean. I've gotten pretty good at getting what neurotypical people mean first try, but that door does not swing both ways.
It makes forming relationships much more difficult, but once someone understands they'll need some patience I can just explain things till we both get what I'm saying.
I've heard that neurodivergent folks understand each other immediately without issue but that there's a barrier between the two sides communicating. I'd believe it. I run into other neurodivergent people sometimes and am able to just immediately click with them.
Wait, how's it got a keyboard? What are all the modifications here? This is nuts.
