Garbage technology that tricks you into thinking it's super useful and efficient to use, but in reality you spend more time cleaning up all the mess that it creates.

I am of course talking about the garlic press.

To be really clear: itโ€™s pretty obvious that the central (Internet communication) problem of our time is going to be determining whether the stranger youโ€™re talking to (or delivering ads to) is a person or a bot. And every existing tech we have for doing this will fail.

So how do we do this? Presumably by tightly binding physical identity to your device and then proving possession (with some other bells and whistles). Not coincidentally thatโ€™s exactly what age verification is. Weird how corporate and govโ€™t priorities suddenly align, right?

My hotel room has a Bible but not a Blahaj? Weird.
Finally a party that's willing to take a strong stand, both for cake-eating and cake-having.

Reading through some election programs.

"We are in favor of the torment nexus, with strict safeguards for privacy and human rights." Good luck with that.

1๏ธโƒฃ Team:Content is hard at work to reconciliate the changes caused by Friday's apocalypse. You can see the current #why2025 program at https://program.why2025.org/why2025/schedule/
It is valid until day2 13:00.

2๏ธโƒฃ The only change before day2 13:00 is that we replaced the RFID talk by @iceman and @k with the Opening talk.

3๏ธโƒฃ Most of the Friday sessions are not actually "cancelled" and will very likely be rescheduled at another time!
