    @m0n5t3r Examples of technology co-evolution would be a small jaw, due to the discovery of fire and cooking, and lactose tolerance (most mammals are lactose intolerant after weaning) due to living with domesticated cattle.

    @m0n5t3r Gamification of things other than games has existed for a long time. I don't think you can breed humans for conformity - not in any tractable amount of time anyway - but Homo sapiens is sometimes described as being a self-domesticated species in that we have co-evolved with our own technology.

    @solderpunk Like they say, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. But using arm machines to run your own stuff may be better than having silo companies waste electricity and hardware in server warehouses.

    On using adversarial methods to avoid face recognition on Facebook or elsewhere, I think this is only currently possible because the models used are primitive. I think it's not enough to expect deep learning to learn edge detectors in the first layer as is usually supposed. Probably those detectors become overtuned with high levels of optimizing for accuracy, and so can subsequently be gamed.

    The bad news is that I think face detection will be able to avoid these problems by explicitly pre-processing with multiple fixed filters for edges, color, gradient, DoG, etc. That will make adversarial methods which involve twiddling around with individual pixels a lot less effective.

    On the secret sharing stuff, !Freedombone also uses Shamir's secret via libgfshare to split keys and distribute them among remote backups. That way if your house gets swept away in a tsunami and you lose absolutely all material possessions it's still possible to recover all your data.

    @h @gcupc I don't think IPFS has any political affiliation. You might think that distributed systems are more in line with libertarianism or anarchism, but then look at what happened to Bitcoin - embraced by the most recalcitrant and hierarchical financial organizations.

    From The future will be technical:

    If we want our community to grow sustainably, and for our future to be properly solarpunk, this is what I feel we should do:

    • Recognize the wound in us, caused by a highly technological world we no longer understand and are actively discouraged from understanding.

    • Understand that most of our "non-dev" friends carry this wound, though they may not articulate it.

    • Feed a culture where new people are encouraged to be collaborators, not consumers, no matter the background they are coming from.

    • Choose to grow organically, using methods that are radically different from the modern web strategy of β€œgrow like a hockey stick then bounce off the tip!”. This likely means growing slowly, but intentionally.

    • When building or writing for the verse, choose the path that empowers and enlightens, which may not be the slickest or simplest path.

    • When the most empowering path requires technical skill, offer the resources for any scuttler to learn these skills. It is always better to articulate than obscure.

    • Check the language of any of our technical docs, to make sure it is inviting and empowering, and not filled with the closed-off culture of the larger tech world. Be conscious that any readme can be an invitation to our incredible coded world.

    • Keep being awesome.

    The Chinese social credit system goes beyond Orwell into a new realm of gamified conformity in which citizens compete to agree with official talking points or carry out approved behaviors. I'm sure that the UK government would love to implement something like this, since it would fit right in alongside "nudge".

    Biggest difference to C3s so far is the brightness in the halls. If you are hat #34c3 drop by at the FSFE booth CCL 1st floor in the "Rights & Freedom" cluster - we have GNU social stickers and more :-D

    @cocoron In the warped logic of the current system the rich get a disproportionate say over everthing. That's what oligarchy is about. It doesn't matter how little talent he has or how negligible his contribution to society.
