  • Two party systems spells doom. It enforces us vs them.

    It's the first indicator that something is wrong with the democratic system. Basically, democracy requires multiple opinions and have to be more nuanced than yes/no, or party1/party1. It has to be a discussion amongst the currently elected parties until an acceptable solution for the majority of members is reached. Thus only having two opposing parties will basically crumble democracy, since the discussion, the basis of democracy will not happen, and the minority will always loose.

  • I like the idea, but I don't really feel this is scoring decentralization at all.

    Yeah,looking through this again, it really scores centralization, and also focuses way to much on ease of setup. Which honestly has nothing to do with it. If it's super hard to setup, but every participant is hosting their own node. And producing the same amount of content. That would be max decentralization.

    I would also argue that a requirement for decentralization is that the service keeps working even if a large portion of all nodes goes down, the remaining nodes are still operational and keep delivering the value.

  • Just allow people to bring their own IDs to servers. Self sovereign IDs, or SSI for short.

    Blockchain has a usecase here, and it would be for disabling your ID in case of privkey leak, or for having people or entities strengthen or verify your pubkey or tie a hash of your birth certificate to it.

    Blockchains are great for providing reliable immutable and verifiable timestamps of data. The reason they are safe is because a lot of people have tied actual value to it, and thus most don't want to invalidate the blockchain and destroy their value.

    Confession

    I have been programming in Rust for about 8 years now. I love the language. But I feel I have some confessions I must make.

    1. I don't know if I use tabs or spaces in my final code. I just assume that it all get solved correctly by cargo fmt. I don't even understand that people have been arguing about this for real? I vaguely remember this being important in C and C++, but I am hoping I never go back to those dark days.
    2. I never do linebreaks, not even when adding my semicolons. I hit ":w" and if shit doesn't move around on my screen, I fucked up somewhere.
    3. The only lifetime I ever use is '_, 'a or 'static otherwise I give up
    4. Wtf is the 'de lifetime in serde deserialize??
    5. Rocket is the best web server
    6. I actively chose software written in Rust over other software, even if it's not better, and I argue that it is.

    Okay, got that of my chest. Never dared telling anyone this before. Feels scary
