i hate peter thiel but i also hate nvidia and tesla so i hope this ends out somehow being bad for everyone

now that’s a clickbaity title if i ever saw one

i don’t know if the current solution of sending a photo of a physical ID together with a selfie to facebook is any better in terms of control or privacy. while at the same time i believe more places will ask to ID you when a digital ID happens in a given country

and i don’t think it’s an “if” either. we do have reasons to ID people irl too and the more life happens online the more those reasons also appear online. the only thing to me that is realistic is to work to have those solutions implemented the right way with as little possibilities for surveillance as possible. otherwise we just keep sending selfies and pictures of IDs around forever

mainly wait for open signups for any tracker or make some friends and be super lucky that one is already on a closed tracker

bsky started with nine of its posts. wing shown publicly so when they flopped the switch (i think they also opened registration without invites) some people who had gotten used to their post being hidden from the rest of the net felt exposed and the devs added this settings.

while i do not think its a great setting i kinda get it. especially given that there are not (yet) private accounts so that’s the best they have

i doubt that because if they did it what reason would there be to not use one of the many chromium derivatives out there?
