It’s impossible to do without exposing a private signing cert to everyone, yes. That’s the issue.

You can’t do asymmetric key signing anonymously and with a central issuer.

So either you have to just trust the assertions (0 security) or you have to have a trusted issuer (not anonymous)

A pseudonym issuer is a trusted issuer. There’s no way to do it otherwise. You have to trust someone to make this kind of system work.

Agreed that law enforcement should not be involved but the quote I posted was also from the article and it seems impossible.

Most of these make sense and are definitely blockers for this ever releasing but -

Remove the concept of the Pseudonym Provider and ensure pseudonyms are generated and stored locally without the possibility of linking back to real identities.

Correct me if I’m wrong but this data all has to be signed somewhere right? Like the eID contains cryptographically signed assertions about the user in some standard (JWT?) format.

What use is signing the assertions locally? There would be no way to tell if the citizen actually had any valid id at all. A pseudonym provider is the privacy layer that allows for signing of new tokens after ensuring the validity of the old.

How could you sign an anonymous token using a valid one without it being linked back to the valid one? It seems like impossible constraints.

Am I totally off base here?

Hmm maybe I stop donating then… I’ll have to dig into where my money is actually going.

Sorta. The foundation does.

https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/donate/

Yes. Just like I donate to my Lemmy host on a regular basis.

I even pay for YouTube, despite using Vanced.

Fuck ads.

The issue is fuck ads

Correct

I have a very handy command in my .vimrc for this -

command! JSON setlocal filetype=json | %!jq .

Anytime I’m in a json file that isn’t formatted it’s as simple as typing :JSON to have it all sorted.

Given it’s a 3d print and cost about $0.60 to make each one…

Now if they made the STL as well then it makes more sense.

You think Bing aka Microsoft is not planning on this exact same folly?

And now with the US included - https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/life-expectancy?time=1870..latest&country=OWID_WRL~CHN~RUS~USA

Which China surpassed thanks to the idiotic way the USA handled COVID.

Assuming it’s actually cellophane

… Which I doubt

All that money in ticky-tack mcmansions that they’ll never sell.

Wealth isn’t wealth if it’s paper only.

I did this when the Equifax breaches happened.

Freezing the accounts definitely had negative impacts on my credit score, despite having safe CC utilization and no debt. I saw about a 20 point dip from doing it.

Sure they claim it won’t have any effect but being safe is risky behavior to a business that relies on you being unsafe.

This article is bullshit: they’re reporting that a blueprint was made. No demonstration, no proof of it working.

Rotary detonation isn’t a new concept and GE has demonstrated a rotary detonation scramjet for 0 - Mach 5.

https://www.geaerospace.com/press-release/other-news-information/ge-aerospace-demonstrates-hypersonic-dual-mode-ramjet-rotating

If you really think that 0 to Mach 16 is within reach with current technology RDEs I have a bridge to sell you.

Darpa has all the money of God and they’ve been throwing billions at the exact problem of rotary detonation. Everybody knows that detonation is more fuel efficient than deflagration and that turbine engines are holding jet aircraft back from hypersonic flight.

When they make a Mach 16 demonstrator I’ll believe them. Until then I’m still very excited for the demonstrated and actual capabilities of RDE Scramjets.

Just consider! If you’re gaming 80 hours a week you could save $3.50 off your monthly bill. 12 hours a day gaming, such savings!

Reductive and absolutist statements serve only to discourage action.

Fatalistic proclamations are counterproductive. The world isn’t over, politics and direct political action have an effect and you can make a difference.

Vote. Be active in local politics. America isn’t dead and it’s been in far worse situations than anything we’re dealing with today.

Don’t be complacent. Go get involved.

Donating money is a cop out if you don’t have time, but it’s better than nothing.

The fuck you mean western media cabal?

Writing out Aaron is something Reddit has been doing since his death. This isn’t a media conspiracy: it’s reddit successfully scrubbing the past.

Also BK.

I think it’s baffling that only 32% say a bar within a 15 minute walk.
