non-chalad··on Dangers of “decentralized” ID systems
Only the seller and buyer need to know each other. Anything beyond, is shoe-in for tyranny.
non-chalad··on Dangers of “decentralized” ID systems
Bureaucratic malfeasance, error, or just plain bad luck, can loose people their accounts, even with government not silencing them.

e.g. a fly landing on a sheet of paper, blocking the print head long enough to generate "Tuttle" from "Buttle", resulting in a long chain of violent events for some unassuming individual…

> I want to be able to have multiple IDs that are not linked. I shouldn't have to give government ID to make an online purchase

But how will your benevolent rulers be able to socially gamify your behaviour and direct who gets to interact and mate with you? If social credit systems are to work, we need KYC and centralized ID.

Which is why the system needs to be built on consent, not extortion.

In the military we had a saying: "There is only one thief; Everyone else is just trying to get their shit back."

The same applies to the monopoly on force, extorting individuals and corporations, but corporations can actually afford paying off and directing government towards their competition (and us individuals).

The only way to stop corruption is to remove the violence inherent to the system. When corporations can no longer use government to force people to buy from them (mandates, subsidies, IP), this kind of corruption will end.

non-chalad··on Google's Idiotic War on AdBlock [video]
> As Youtube amps up their aggressive campaign to disable Ad-Blockers... they simultaneously fail to moderate verified advertisers using their services to push tens of thousands of scam ad campaigns onto their viewers.

> At a certain point the level of moderation failure becomes very hard to ignore, especially if they are attempting to remove the primary tool by which people avoid engaging with these deceptive and sometimes criminal advertisements.

non-chalad··on Scale of the Universe
915 square feet is still enough for some solar cells, a bio digester, an aquaponics setup with vegetable garden, a cabinet full of quail, a cot, a rocket stove, and a small shed.
non-chalad··on Scale of the Universe
It's really simple.

The universe is based on Murphy's 1st Law: Anything can go wrong, including nothing.

"In the beginning there was nothing… Then something went wrong."

non-chalad··on Yes, social media is a cause of the epidemic of teenage mental illness
As a friend of mine said "If you can't kid-proof the farm, you have to farm-proof the kid". Watched said kid drink from farm puddles, and lick feed bowls. Seems to have worked: She's headed to tech school now.
