@Moon@thatguyoverthere@sj_zero@yes Even when they have proof, the argument then becomes "but even *Republican establishment guy that no one trusts* didn't think that proof was worth investigating!" There's the video of the State Farm Arena in Atlanta where one of the counting organizers evacuated the place on a false pretense ("flooding", which was then downgraded to a toilet overflowing when after the fact people pointed out no plumber was called for this), pulled out a box of ballots kept segregated and with a couple of others just ran these through the counting machines for hours alone with no supervision or oversight. This is all on video, and no reasonable explanation was ever given for this (some scoffing and "pfft, this is all normal/a reasonable mistake that could happen anytime anywhere").
@lain@Moon Yeah, I can imagine some of the more complex natural language processing benefits from cloud processing, but the smart home stuff is mostly just predictable trigger phrases that a self hosted system could easily be trained on
Interesting, in a bad way. Of course as the article mentions, the contract is immutable so the only ban that can be done would be front end only and ineffective. But I wonder if it's just trying to look like they're doing something to avoid prosecution or if they really do consider the cathedral's ability to track all money for any reason to be legitimate. The latter would not bode well for future anonymizing protocols.
