Die umstrittene Wahlsoftware von Poljas hat schon zahlreiche Bürgerentscheide und Parteiwahlen – bis hin zur Annahme von Koalitionsverträgen entschieden. Nun wird sie auch an der TU Dresden eingesetzt.
Die Gelegenheit, für interessierte Informatiker:innen, sich den Quellcode der Software näher anzusehen!
Leider müssen wir dafür nach #Kassel fahren, da der Quellcode nicht öffentlich ist. Damit nicht alle Interessierten einzeln anfragen müssen, könnt ihr auch diese Terminumfrage ausfüllen, wir melden euch dann gesammelt an. https://tud.link/1r3v9p

#Coinbase's "Base" #blockchain went down when #AWS failed.

#Base is pure decentralization theater. there is no decentralization, there's just a buzzword you can now throw out any time you don't want to comply with financial regulations.

I think #AI and #blockchain will be part of it.
I don't think extractivist technologies pushed by techno-fascists will be part of it.
There is a way to use #AI and #blockchain without extraction or techno-fascism.

That's not opposite to what I was saying.
I agree that technologies can create new social problems, but they can also help fix problems (including social).
For example, Internet 1.0 helped fixed the social problem of access to data in an open and egalitarian way.

#AI and #Blockchain are powerful technologies and we need to design a system which will help us use them for social good and for building a #Solarpunk world.

"The Coinwatch #crypto tracking platform accused market makers of 'desert[ing] their responsibility', and #blockchain analyst YQ alleged 'they executed a coordinated withdrawal at the optimal moment to minimize their losses while maximizing subsequent opportunities"

Of course they did, that's how #capitalism is SUPPOSED to work. There is no honour among thieves. Kicking suckers when they're down is what drives shareholder value.

⚠️ Hackers Abuse #Blockchain Smart Contracts to Spread #Malware via Infected #WordPress Sites

｢ On Windows systems, the malicious command entails the execution of an HTML Application (HTA) file downloaded from a MediaFire URL, which then drops a PowerShell script to sidestep defenses, fetch the encrypted final payload from either GitHub or MediaFire, or their own infrastructure in some cases, and run the stealer directly in memory without writing the artifact to disk ｣

These are likely the same people who pushed #blockchain, they need to be sacked for incompetence #KISS

more data on those “52 million americans” who congressional #dems think are using #crypto but actually aren’t: according to the atlanta federal reserve crypto ownership declined once again to 7.7% of adults in 2024 from its peak of 9.6% in 2022.

that 7.7% number includes people speculating on bitcoin via ETFs etc which is hardly “usage”. less than 2% of americans actually “use” crypto for anything (and a lot of that is probably just bros buying NFTs).

What if, listen to me, what if, instead, we relocated Palestinians and Gazans... directly on the Blockchain?

"The Trump administration and international partners are discussing proposals to build a 'Riviera of the Middle East' on the rubble of Gaza. One would establish U.S. control and pay Palestinians to leave."
