In the tech industry, when a system doesn’t work and can’t be fixed we throw it out and start over.

Seems inefficient, couldn’t the same thing be accomplished using local DBs rather than the world’s most inefficient ledger?

What if we don’t want global usernames? What if we’re entirely satisfied with global user IDs in a DHT?

No worries, I’m merely confident that the tradeoffs necessary to employ a blockchain aren’t worth the supposed benefits thereof.

knightly, 11 days ago

We already have that, it’s called a Distributed Hash Table, no blockchain required.

Trust, consensus, and access control are session-layer issues that don’t need to be solved by a transport-layer protocol. Social networks deserve to be able to forget things.

It really isn’t a different debate when you’re talking about putting them on the blockchain, and all that other engineering has already been done by other distributed social networks.

Gender existed long before chromosomes were discovered.

knightly, 12 days ago (edited 12 days ago)

Well, for starters, I’m not contradicting their point, I’m confirming it. The use of “cis” or “trans” in terms of gender and the knowledge of chromosomes are recent social constructions. The confusion seems to be in what is actually meant by “social construction”.

For example, you keep saying “biological differences” without prepending the word “stereotypical” in such a way that leads me to believe that you still think of sex as a pair of essential categories.

Gender is a social construct, yes, but Sex is a set of simplified generalizations about multiple highly complex and frequently interrelated phenomena that cannot be reduced to anatomy or chromosomes alone.

Ignoring the fact that these generalizations about sex are mere stereotypes to which many people do not conform is much more irresponsible than insufficiently explaining the social construction of gender.

Are you seriously incredulous at such a comparison?

foone is such a charachter. Absolutely a worthwhile follow.

I’d have to hire somebody just to keep track of all the commissioned works. =D

Ok, but how?

Is there an option on the ballot for President that would allow me to vote without violating my conscience?

knightly, 20 days ago

I’m not even asking for “perfect”.

I’d be entirely satisfied by “tolerable”, and genocide is nowhere near that.

Damn, I’m like half of these at once, and alternating between eepy and hyperactive. XD

That’s what 401ks are already, it’s absolutely going to pass so Republicans can start fleecing kids and blaming the stock market.

Economics, the dismal science, says there’s no such things as independence or tamper-proofing.

Armed queers don’t get bashed.

knightly, 21 days ago

Maybe instead of arming queers to shoot bigots, we do something societally about the bigots?

Since there’s no practical way to do something about the fact that bigots exist, the next best thing is to constantly appropriate their aesthetic.

Make open-carrying a gay fashion statement until the only folks who open-carry are the gays.~

“AI” didn’t do that, C-suite executives who think that LLMs are capable of replacing human workers did that.

They’ll be in for a surprise when the “AI” bubble pops. XD

I don’t care what the separating character is, so long as there is one and a numerical sort will arrange dates in chronological order. =D
