How did you make this player look like that? With the phone logo in it?

@molly0xfff

It's just one of those problems that has decided to live in my head. I do not trust authorities very much, I do not like them. Some way to hold them accountable is always attractive to me.

Another thing that precipitated this idea was that with the advent of AI, I wanted to find some way to keep tabs on reality on the internet.

@molly0xfff

It was signed after the fact.

@molly0xfff

Currently? Nowhere, but I had been thinking about evidence authentication for things like surveillance videos against accusations of manipulation, maybe with AI. Every hardware provider company would do it themselves, or offer to integrate it with an existing service. Why would they use blockchain instead of a database? Because it would be authenticable by multiple different orgs and agencies.

Or you could have the evidence or document signed with a key. But they could argue that

@molly0xfff

Authentication of documents that cannot be retracted. For govt institutions to issue a document that then lives on forever. Govts might hate it because they cannot retract the fact of its existence, thus making it very valuable for everyone else when it comes to authenticity.

Like NFTs, but for official documents.

I realise it's like govt databases that researchers can download and reference later, but more formalised and redundant.

@molly0xfff

Hey Molly,

What are your thoughts about use of blockchain as a database for document authentication among large public organizations like governmental organs? It would be a way for governments to authenticate a document in such a way that can never be denied again. Would it be any better than just a normal intensional database?

@cstross
Maybe not use those exact words in your ultimatum. Things are about to get wild. Rather not join Charlie Stross memorial strongly worded letter and march.

@skinnylatte

Lady, then have I got a show for You!

A severely disillusioned and broken down spy has to complete his mission to make his country and his father proud. To do this he has to face office politics, bureaucracy and utter bad luck.

Edit: This is a dark comedy. Apparently similar to a show called Barry.

@cstross

It will cost them enormous amounts of money to retrofit? No, they'll just put on a sticker for male or female.

@goatsarah

Lol! But congratulations on possibly solving this mystery!

@dansup @pixelfed

I read that implementing AtProto would be super expensive and currently Bluesky holds the monopoly on being an app on AtProto.

@notjustbikes

Yowza, that went 0-100 real quick. You know, if I was being deliberately obtuse to the thesis of your video, I would say that the end scenario could again evolve. The cars could be coalesced into bigger longer cars for efficiency and savings on battery, air resistance and electronics. They could run on pre defined schedules based on known demand patterns. You could even replace the rubber tires and the asphalt with steel tires and tracks for better efficiency.

@goatsarah Yeah, thought so, i'll have to get a ups. Do you need or use an IP-KVM?

@goatsarah My old laptops are not made like a server, is what I'm finding out. Do you need a ups for your mini? Does it have an auto on feature?

@goatsarah
Is your server with you or at your home?

@goatsarah
After your unholy piss and exiting that place, I hope you have a better day.

@dansup @pixelfed @fedidb @supapp
I understand oss maintainer is a thankless job. Thank you for your work.

As to how you can improve? Well, you could solve just three more issues. You will be rewarded well for your allegiance.

@goatsarah
I was not aware how much dry air could affect someone. Hope you feel better soon.

@goatsarah
Are they all the same team or of different teams? If different, then you may have an out.

@goatsarah
'...hosting Linux VMs.'

is this the new '..torrenting Linux ISOs'?
