To the common people this means very little
To those who understands version control this means a lot more.
Currently in open source, you really don't know where your code is coming from and who worked on it. Git's "commit author" fields don't require any proof of identity, that's what GPG is for.
anyways
Well they're not just any other "nationality, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, or other adjective". They started their movement and created their identity for a specific reason. I kinda feel like we should look into the reason for their identity and factor that into how we look at this law.
It doesn't have to be. Nothing's stopping you from signing your own certificates, just like nothing is stopping you from trusting the certificate your friend gave you, whether its by printing out the certificate on paper and then "handing" it to you, or sending it in an email. You're also 100% welcome to trust that your friend isn't a moron and lost control of his private key. AT THE SAME TIME, nothing stops you and abunch of your friends from trusting one or 2 dudes to be a certificate authority for your group.
Cryptography wasn't (and never tried to be) ever an alternative to not being stupid. Any 2 people can setup maximum 100% encrypted end-to-end communication using tools older than I am (or about my age). I feel like we let security and centralization blind us to solutions that we already have because those solutions are hard to onboard too. IRC is free, GPG is free, TOR is free, Email is still free.
I feel like these are the same people that haven't learned how to shut up in highschool
My whole issue is that light isn't getting scattered properly inside of my eye, right? Hasn't anyone looked into a display technology that focuses the light I want to see into my eye anyways? I feel like this is the kind of ground breaking research that changes the world, not how to pack 10 different cameras onto the back of an iPhone, guess that's just me.
I've tried VR (with my glasses). I can see each pixel, I feel like I'm staring at a dot matrix display. I hate VR.
> Also if you've been using the same glasses for 5 years, you might just need to get a new pair
I mean I do. I'm just dreading having to break in a new pair. Those first 2 weeks of your shit not fitting right is traumatizing.
Where's the tech bro internet? Where's the cool internet with the learning curve? Where am I??
