I'm in the same boat, I spend a bit of my working day writing in Rust .. it's a great language but it's very cumbersome and I find it suffers form poor ergonomics, like it's annoying to type
yeah for auth is a blockchain even required? it's pretty much just asymmetric crypto at that point isn't it?
I think the 'web3' way would make it worse wouldn't it? like metamask relying on centeralized service to query the blockchain
I guess a real benifit I could see would be being able to use a blockchain to revoke your keys somehow but that's not how metamask and web3 stuff seems to work right now
minsk and minsk ii were designed to fail, there's no way either the russian supported separatists or ukraine would abide by them not to mention that russia didn't uphold it's end of the frameworks anyway
the russian idea of 'ukrainian neutrality' would require the US to formally reject the idea of a nations right to self-determination to satisfy the demands of a state that isn't even a peer or on good terms which isn't going to fly it weakens the united states and europe
the rest is minutia, blowback, corruption and handwaving at the end of day this is the stupid game russian leadership setup and wanted to play
I do think something like twitter longterm could a big play at something like authenticity verification in the world of deep fakes, similar to what keybase was trying to do but they already have traction with public figures
I have once a long time ago, but it was the mixture of age + experience and not expecting that the person would actually be interested in staying shit-show of a company I was working in at the time ( it folded 6 months later anyway)
