Honestly the only people worried about learning a new OS are people that have not even tried another OS for longer then 15 minuts in the last few years.

The desktop is still a desktop so is the taskbar.

The mouse works like a mouse, browser works like a browser and the majority of apps these days are browser apps.

The single actual difference i can think off is that rather then downloading an exe you use something similar to an appstore if your non technical or the command line if you don’t.

And if you are just a little technical you can acutely download that exe and install/run it just fine. (Wine)

Agreed but the chance those tracks will be destroyed before the election is slim.

I applaud your call to activism but in reality much less people will ever commit to fighting for their ideals that way.

Many more people will however are willing to give a token to a “right cause”

Voting D is that token. It doesn't fix shit, especially considering the genocide but it will be a slower decline of human rights then the alternative.

More time to do activism.

There are many others, also on lemmy that are not calling for activism but for a token of not voting. I think the meme is a representation of that particular logic.

Sure i’ll have a look at decentralized certificate authorities options.

Very possibles to adapt my idea to whatever technology provides those function honestly.

The only actual connection i have with blockchain is that reading about it when it was new directly inspired in me a possible way to combat fake news.

That hardware inputs can be faked is part of my reasoning here because there would be transparency of the source of footage.

If a reputable journalists fake their own footage and it would be found out their credibility would be gone.

If they often rely on borrowing footage and don't fact check it. Credibility will degrade as well.

Journalist media that does their work and only uses credible sources will thrive.

My solution isn't about who or how signature gets created but how ordinary people can check for themselves where a clip within footage originates from.

I am fine with inventing a new system that does this and call it something else than blockchain. But my understanding is that it does pretty much provide this functionality in a robust manner.

Also typing these comments on the go caused me to lose something dear to me on public transport. I am very sad now and probably wont engage further.

I am not sure what you think blockchain actually is but in essence its a decentralized ledger of signatures.

Not coins, no sellable goods. Just that. Computers connected in a network to verify the correctness of a cloud ledger.

So if you say signing footage is one thing how do you propose a laymen can verify that signature without centralized databank.

I understand some people may not mind centralized authority but i prefer against it.

I am willing to hear peoples thoughts on this. I am not pro or against blockchain or any form of technology. With the information i have this just seems like a reasonable and practical solution.

For the longest time now, from before AI, before NFT was a thing i had an idea to incorporating blockchain tech into real life media footage to combat the rise of misinformation.

The metadata, original author would be stored on this chain the moment footage is recorded. The biggest challenge is that this means the devices themselves need to be connected.

Adoption would be slow but i imagined news and official channels make use of this tech first. Eventually all footage outside of this will be seen as not trustworthy

Then NFTBros came along and people have shit on this idea ever since. Some days i feel that was a conspiracy to ruim out perception of potential but more likely humans where just greedy.

I still believe this could work. Detailed example below:

The system works with a fair amount of transparency, verifiable digital signatures for recording devices and their owners. Professional cameras and organizations would have publicly known IDs, while individuals could choose to remain pseudonymous authors but would need to build credibility over time.

Let's say BBC records an interview. When viewers watch this content on any platform, they can access blockchain verification through an embedded interface (perhaps a small icon in the corner). This shows the complete chain of custody from recording to broadcast.

The system verifies content through computational comparisons. When a raw interview is edited into a final piece:

  • Each original clip has a unique blockchain signature
  • The final edited version's signature can be compared against source material
  • Automated analysis shows what percentage of original footage matches
  • Modifications like color correction or audio adjustments are detected through signature differences
  • Additional elements like station logos or intro sequences have their own verified identifiers

Depends, actual censorship of words exist worldwide.

Pointless censorship however i have only seen in US and Japan, but both for very different types of content.

Invidious works cross device in the browser though. Handles subscriptions just fine.

On Iphone its the only proper option.

I do run my own service, ymmv using a public one.

“Illegal” is just a joke at this point

For more then thousand years you who are Ea-nāṣir will be forgotten, but then during a time when language transcends the world we know and the people can communicate freely to any at any point of time without relying on a messenger, and the ways people expresse their ideas transcend the use of words and blends with the world of art. You will be become remembered.

The wise men will discover our history and you will be noted amongst us. Your name will be known to them and the existence of your person will become a meme, a sacred expression of their language.

And the meaning of your name will be that of shitty copper and the spirit of your person will be that of the worst of merchants.

Ea-nāṣir, a trader, sold sub-standard copper to a customer their scriptures will say. And this is the truth, so will it be.

The scientific conclusion to be derived from this study is that the author has a potential passion for the game of Minecraft combined with a sense of humor to include subtle harmless references.

Further study is encouraged but logical expectations are that the authors neurological state may fall within the boundaries of autism spectrum disorder and that they have a high chance of being consider my friend, regardless of any non existing formal introductions between us.

No idea why we were studying this however.

No under capitalism the owner gets everything what you make and they will reward you with just enough scraps to keep working.

Joking aside, bees technically have the freedom to escape captivity and leave their hive. I think that is a spot on comparison to how work and living in society is often made up to be a voluntary choice and we're free to go live elsewhere.
