It's nice, reliable and super quick to on board people since no sign up required. Technology seems interesting and novel, and it's also transparent since it even shows the node path (in addition to being FOSS)

Do I trust it? No, but I don't trust technology in general

Very good point, it might lead to more tribalism if kept too small

This sounds cool. Why not make it 150 people per group max, since we can only have roughly 150 good human connections at any given time

Thanks for the suggestion

Yeah their signatures and shasums are hosted on github. They're a small team, which is probably why they rely on it

Here's their android one at least https://github.com/oxen-io/session-android/releases

Yes, but I think the only clients are from Session themselves currently. All platforms, all independent and can have multiple accounts. Everything encrypted by default (and no way to send clear text)

Check out Session, built on Lokinet, no signups

Getsession.org

Yeah I'm more on the actual research paper route, I need science and not opinion or speculation. But with that, I'll probably take a look since community lead efforts can be good too, thanks for sharing

I can translate Russian, I'd love to see their research

Any sources on this? We don't use voice activated AI bots like Alexa

Suggestions to buy bodycams that aren't WiFi/Bluetooth?

Cool, I'll check it out

Good advice, thank you for sharing

The issue is those closer to the money printer get the biggest rewards (according to the US Fed's description of their stakeholders) so as they increase their supply of currency they can accumulate more goods, outpacing the rest of the classes which have to suffer through inflation, which debases their money, keeps wages low and goods prices increase

In an evenly distributed and fully observable currency supply which can rise and lower as needed, there is no inherent issue with fiat currencies as long as the issuing party is reputable and wages increase at the same pace (up or down) with all prices

Haven't you seen how every time this has been done it leads to dictators and coups and massive starvation?!

Yeah, it could be a faulty system or we just keep trying it in states that have enemies that don't want it to succeed. I'll have to do more research from more modern thinkers, because yeah capitalism isn't sustainable without heavy regulation since humans are human...

The issue here is according to the Fed, the stakeholders get a 6% return, which is supposed to outpace inflation. So if the ones closest to the money printer get more every year, while the rest lose money due to inflation eating it, it doesn't matter if it could theoretically work, it leads to an accumulation to the class system at the top while the lower classes must continually work forever since their savings are worth less every year

Very true, I'll do some research and if I remember I'll give you some papers

Good advice, thank you for sharing

That's a bummer, I was hoping they were built better. Are they at least fun to drive?
