Would be interesting to combine this with a web-of-trust.

None of my one-hop trusted people are part of the cancelmob. If I found that somebody two hops away from me did something absurd it's quite easy to do something about it -- apply negative trust to whatever path endorsed that nonsense.

Unfortunately people these days seem allergic to running anything that isn't a web browser or served by an app store, and the entities that control those two channels are extremely unexcited about decentralization.

... and how they steer the discussion from "social media" to "screen time".

Wikipedia helpfully selected a picture of somebody using an ebook reader as their illustration of what "screen time" means: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_time

I'm just flabbergasted with the level of smokescreen that goes on in this discussion. Pretty sure reading books on ebook readers is not what is driving teenage mental health problems.

It's okay, the Cargo Lords promise me that because they require a git-hub account and agreeing to the git-hub terms of service before contributing, everything will be okay.

They pinky-swear.

Unfortunately github appears to be actively breaking the ability to use git-bug on repositories with large numbers of pull requests (like nixpkgs):

They really don't want you to leave their walled garden.

where a repo is forked but the new maintainers don't change the repo's did

A DID is a public key. If you don't know the corresponding private key you won't be able to make any updates. All you'll be able to do is mirror it.

instead just get more nodes to follow them than the original

This is like saying "but I can fork Verisign's Root CA certificate and get more nodes to follow me than Verisign!". No, you don't have the private key that goes with that root certificate. So everybody will ignore you.

Cryptography is not a popularity contest.

You're an LLM, right?

Oh please with the karma-farming.

Suburbs, for better or for worse, have been around for a long time. They cannot explain the massive decline in Generation Z's mental health compared to its predecessors.

PS, next time try to link to housing costs -- that one gets better karma yield. Bonus points if you can somehow denigrate cryptocurrencies while you're at it.

> AI eating jobs, there's zero mention of whether it could come for management positions. Nothing. Curious, isn't it? Why wouldn't an LLM be good enough at this?

There's a whole book about this, called Rainbows End. Highly recommended.

Protecting against "swapped devices" is simple: put a secret key in the device, ask it to produce a signature, check it with the public key. Any device other than yours won't know the secret key.

I'm not sure what attacks you refer to when you say "malicious program-binaries". I'm having trouble imagining something fitting this description which is thwarted by the vendor blowing the programming fuse but isn't thwarted by you blowing the fuse yourself.

> 10c per HN post

Apparently some people haven't heard about Stacker News (okay it's more like $0.0001 per post, but anyways...)

Sure: you replace the hardware with brand new hardware and it keeps happening. Then you know it's not the hardware.

Can you point to any botnets which were built using rowhammer attacks?

Rowhammer and speculative execution attacks are incredibly labor-intensive and target-specific. They are targeted attacks for high-value targets.
