this is DANGEROUS ground to tread on lemmy ☠️

Was the infant alright? AHT is no joke

Radical political ideologists love the Fediverse and always have, be it anarchosocialists or confederates. Not sure why. I just want shitposts and tech stuff.

Great thread. I’m currently on a OP8 and it’s done me alright, but my screen broke a few months ago so I’m gonna hijack this thread to ask for The Best Phone on the market under 1k right now. Ideally cheap (and rootable).

Ok but why are we lumping in a greedy ceo with criminal state regimes? Don’t you think it’s a little overkill to compare strenuous API costs to Tiananmen Square?

Microsoft is surprisingly pro-FOSS - probably more than any of the others in “big tech.” It’s the same reason MS isn’t in the FAANG acronym. They’ve consistently forwarded and contributed to the FOSS community over the past several years. They have massive stakes in the linux foundation, which is either conspiracy or just a shift in attitude (i haven’t decided myself yet). For a more concrete example, with LLMs, Microsoft (despite basically owning OpenAI) is contributing to free and open-source language model development, with Orca and TBAAYN, as well as publishing free and open-source tooling for LLM, such as the guidance repository.

there is nothing to do

You probably saw some (mostly fraudulent) ads. Dread is where most of Tor’s public content can be found; but, yeah, crypto (specifically Bitcoin and Monero) are the standards there.

FHE solves that through and through, as has been documented widely, but that’s overengineering when you could just use plain ZKP.
Zero-knowledge voting is here and has been for a while now.

The stuff listed in OP doesn’t really seem like much concern. “What you put on the internet is there forever!” is completely true, and things like this should only make it more concrete that you can’t rely on your service provider to delete information somebody else already archived.
With that being said, default privacy settings - at least on Kbin - seem pretty bad.

I thought votes didn’t federate yet anyways… but, yes, it is possible, and i can come up off the top of my head with three or four potential implementations.

i think the shitcoin trend and NFT shit is over, but crypto as a technology and cryptocurrency certainly isn’t. I don’t see BTC, ETH, XMR dying aaanytime soon, especially the former and the latter - they’re gold standard on the net already. Overengineered crypto like ETH seems to be less popular now.
