@protodrew@merveilles.town My #1 concern would be the operational/business model; I'm getting "startup in stealth mode" vibes from the presentation but can't find clear information one way or the other

to be clear, from a political perspective blockchain is how people who used to do money laundering via art sales are now doing money laundering

but from a technical perspective blockchain is a great example of what happens when people in charge of designing a system misunderstand nearly every part of it

@ben Are you sure that both controllers are actually using the same input API, because there are two

“The crimes of her ancestors”

I’m just going to link to this little… event… that happened one decade and a half into HER reign.

@schratze Also don't forget the Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes which co-occur an awful lot with neurodiversity

@kim That seems to match my experiences to some degree yeah

@schratze Also yes, the dichotomy between "a hierarchical society" and "an egalitarian society" indeed *is* the crucial distinction in political ideology, the problem is that in most political discourse, a hierarchical society is simply *assumed*, as if the only thing about which there can be disagreement is exactly how that hierarchy is constructed and arranged.

I'm not convinced that this is accidental.

@schratze Egalitarianism? That's the term I've been using for this mostly, to explicitly encode the "no hierarchy of power" component

(This *is* a crucial component of anarchism, but unfortunately a lot of people who call themselves anarchists have a sorely lacking understanding of power dynamics)

@kim Far as I can tell, most implementations *do* call this hashing (often something like "object hash" or "structural hash"), it's just not *cryptographic* hashing

Keep in mind the hopelessness you feel at times is the desired result of the capitalist society we exist in, so we don't fight it.

Every act we do, from calling it out to housing unhoused people and creating sustainable methods to how we feed each other, matters.

We are limiting ourselves if we fight how bigots fight.

And there are more of us than them.

if you have headaches and you haven't gone to the dentist in a while, go to the dentist and get any root canal they advise. this has solved headaches for me and for a friend. no they did not feel like toothaches. yes it is horrendously expensive, but also, you can then sleep again

@maia Ah okay, good to hear :)

@maia No really, if you're experiencing symptoms from it, you should go to emergency services, even if you think you're fine, because clearly some threshold somewhere was exceeded

re: certified maia moment, ph bad (i am ok tho), idk what to cw this as tbh 

@maia That's uh, basically a "go to emergency services NOW" kind of thing, AFAIK
