why is this the case?
huh.
did not have "mr fusion from back to the future 2 being invented this decade" on my bingo card.
neat.
@0xabad1dea does telnet have any actual error correction, like with DEB packages?
or is it really that bad?

in all likelihood they stopped it because a phone based ID assumes everyone is capable of working a smartphone to begin with.
that in turn requires you to somehow stump up the cash to get a phone and a SIM contract...
...which requires an income far larger than the informal economy is willing to part with.
which means right-to-work checks which means a phone-based ID you don't have...
see the problem here?
also, it would improve the lives of blind people considerably, since it's easy to cook up a braille paper form and send it off in the mail.
entire new technologies have to be invented just to get braille to work on a smartphone.
yea, at this point, people will start going back to pen-and-paper notebooks, flipcharts, feature-phones, filing cabinets, typewriters, libraries, telegraphs, checkbooks, cash,
CD/DVD/Blu-Ray players and movie theaters for their day-to-day affairs.
they were convenient before,
they're still convenient now,
and they won't EVER betray you.
why even bother with computers?

biggest problem with wealth is that it inherently disincentivizes doing anything that promotes self worth - why cook your own food when you can hire a chef and have it delivered to you by a butler?
problem with getting someone else to do it, and it's getting quite salient with LLM usage, is that it induces cognitive and physical decline. you didn't use it, so you lose it.
the privilege of not having to do it anymore quickly devolves into the prison of being unable to do it anymore.
soon wealth becomes the only thing that you have, and you're stuck unable to do anything for yourself, especially if you haven't done it before.
the solution is to build a society that promotes learning new skills and life fulfillment as primary values, above how much wealth you have.
nobody feels horribly insecure anymore, and you'll naturally make a lot of wealth with such a society regardless.
furthermore, a nation not tied to wealth as a value and that prioritizes education and skill over it can do a hell of a lot more on the world stage.

allowlist federation with optional blocklist could work.
the idea is that every instance has a small list of instances with which they federate with, and you can adjust the "n-umbra" ( https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/116067489838079786) to get each instance's graph.
0-umbra (depth 0) = only that instance's content
umbra (depth 1) = that instance's content + their federations
penumbra (depth 2) = that instance's content + their federations + the federations' federations
n-umbra (depth n) = that instance's content + their federations + the federations' federations + ... + etc.
if one instance starts federating with a lot of questionable instances, then you can simply cut that instance from your allowlist or reduce the "n-umbra" of that instance, effectively cutting the bad content off in one fowl swoop.
you could also share allowlists and blocklists between instances, or use something like the server covenant to find known good instances to start federating with.
and do what, email your local representative who will ignore you anyway?
people complain because making change is not just hard, but harder than it needs to be.
especially when you don't have the legal right to do so by yourself, the people who do have that right are constantly trying to make your life worse, and you're too mentally spent trying to make rent/utilities to try and constantly rein them in.
also make the terrible changes REALLY slow (*cough* #chatcontrol *cough*). that is guaranteed to get people bored and hand you victory.
really, the only way to make democracy work is to take the emotion out of politics - frame law-making as problem solving and give everyone the ability to propose and vote through laws directly after coming to a consensus.
that's 1.0
what about 2.0?
