It’s less about technology and more about evading accountability, I’d say. This would be a sort of cyberpunk version of “How dare you accuse the baron’s son of tipping your cows?! He’s a fine upstanding young man, so of course these accusations are groundless.”
I understand most of the individual words in your explanation, but it doesn’t really tell me what the point is. About all I got from it is people writing back and forth to each other, and since you mentioned ‘otaku’, probably a Japanese fandom thing?
I could google for ‘exchange diary otaku’ and maybe find a better explanation, but tbh I’m not that invested.
It makes me super uneasy. I can easily see this type of model being expanded and applied to more and more things.
Call for a refund because something you ordered never showed up? Wrong trust chain, you’re automatically lying, refund denied.
Report someone for T-boning you? Wrong trust chain, you’re now arrested for hitting them.
Etc…

I can’t help but “hear” this as “Ninety eez”.

Hey, I’m not gonna judge their kinks.
I think it’s plausible right now. We have brain-computer interfaces under active research (for things like stroke recovery or limb-loss patients).
At the same time, neuroscience researchers have been able to switch off parts of the brain temporarily to study things like how the Wernicke area affects our use of language.
You could probably combine the two for something that fits the bill.
That being said, what I’m envisioning is more along the lines of “strap the victim into a chair and hook them up to a lot of fancy equipment for a reprogramming session” than “point a remote at the victim and press a button”.
Still, it’s pretty spooky to think about.
Oh, sure, and the spam box in my email might actually have a valuable offer for me!
“proven science”
Vaccines are a good example here. Handwashing is another. We’ve had empirical proof on the latter since the 1850s, but it’s STILL super hit or miss whether people will bother :(

Is that a fact? Are you sure? Will you recant if it comes out that the police did, in fact, plant it?
Nitpick the lawyer’s phrasing all you like; it won’t actually change any of the facts of the case, whatever they may be. Myself, I’m not going to jump to “why bother having a trial? The police arrested him; he’s clearly guilty as sin” based on a Lemmy comment!
Almost like the lawyer thinks “they didn’t follow procedure” is an easier legal argument than “the police dept is trying to frame my client”.
I misread your comment for a half-second as “Gundam autocorrect.”

Glory…to your memes
Glory to you and your cat tree!
Ha, I wondered this, too.
Ah, gotcha, yeah, that makes sense.
My own city has pretty good bike lane coverage, but it’s similar – cars have to cross over the bike lane to get into the turn lane.
Basic decency…gah. Yeah, I wish. :(
First hit, confusingly, is this:
Further down I see a group of girls – Japanese pop music? That would have been more informative than ‘idols’.
