  • This is not leddot.

    Proceeds to reply in the most "leddot" way possible.

    I really should just delete all my Lemmy accounts, after the reddit exodus this place just turned into reddit 2.0

  • TIL that last month, a rich man in New Jersey killed a pedestrian and left the scene. He was put on trial. The jury found him guilty. 15 minutes later, he walked out free.

  • They're so enamoured with their idea that they just completely refuse to listen to reason, and they clearly don't know what the fuck they're talking about – classic Dunning-Kruger situation.

    BUT THE LAMINATED RECEIPTS

  • What do you even need the digital system for at that point?

    Like, did you even bother to look at that article? Electronic voting is incredibly complex, and if you end up having to rely on physical receipts anyhow because you can't be sure the result is right, why even bother?

  • Open-source means anyone can look at the code, be it on their machine or at the repository.

    Yeah good luck with that. There probably aren't more than a few hundred people, thousands at best, in the world who understand the mathematics required for properly pulling off electronic voting, because it requires some sort of zero knowledge protocol – you want tamper-evident votes, but you don't want anybody to be able to connect a specific vote to a specific voter, and you also need to eg prevent the same person from voting multiple times, while also making sure that only citizens can vote.

    Here, read this 2025 article on Estonia's system: https://eprint.iacr.org/2025/506.pdf

    Super simple. Yeah, sure anyone can look at the code, but 0.00001% of the people looking at it will understand it, and even fewer can actually spot any potential problems because the systems are so damn complex. And what's worse, you can have holes in your voting system that you don't know about until way after a vote, and then you may not have any way of knowing if the vote was valid or not

  • Oh good, it wasn't just me then. Admittedly I'm ADHD but usually I have no problem reading long form articles if they're well written, but this shit was just… uh… shit

  • My guess is that they implemented e2ee (or at least they claimed to do it) so people wouldn't be as likely to switch to actually secure messaging platforms. "See here, pleb, our systems are very secure too. You don't want to switch to Signal, and your friends are all here anyhow".

    Now they just don't give a shit anymore.

  • It’s still just as funny as the flat Earthers that keep accidentally proving that the Earth is round

    And somehow they never go "oh shit, maybe I should reevaluate my beliefs based on the evidence" – instead it's "well the evidence must be wrong"

  • They were "washed clean".

    In Austria former Nazis even paraded around in uniform after the war, and the Austrians went as far as claiming that the Austrian Nazis were the real victims because they'd been so badly "misled" (yeah fucking right), and they were very hostile towards Jewish etc. people – the actual victims – who tried to get some sort of restitution
