same here. maybe you've also read atomic habits. anyways, starting with small achieveable goals is the way to go. consistency is key

Good time to switch to Openstreetmap (OrganicMaps is a good mobile app for it)

thanks for the recommendation, looks like a cool project

Great read, especially because I just read 'Enshittification' by Doctorow. We urgently need more interoperability across online platforms!

Ich kann Dir die Entscheidung nicht abnehmen - aber ich hoffe du hast nun einen besseren Blick auf diese Abstimmung und kannst dich gut informiert für #JA oder #NEIN entscheiden!

#Schweiz #Switzerland #Abstimmung #e-id

Wie so oft in der Digitalisierung geht es um den trade-off zwischen #Komfort und #Sicherheit. Die e-ID an sich ist datensparsam 🔐 entworfen und der Quellcode offen - das ist sehr vorbildlich.

Wir alle wissen, wie unsicher zentralisiert gespeicherte Daten sind: die Schweizer Verwaltung 🏢 oder ihre Firmen 🚂 sind immer wieder von Hacks betroffen, wo sensible Daten gestohlen werden 👨‍💻 .

Trotzdem wurde das Referendum ergriffen❗: Weil im Gesetz vorgesehen ist, dass die Polizei 👮‍♂️ bei der Ausstellung der e-ID per App biometrische Daten (ein Video des Gesichts) für viele Jahre speichern soll. Wenn man die e-ID im Passbüro ausstellen lässt, entfällt diese Datenspeicherung allerdings.

Seither hat sich aber einiges getan. Unter Gerhard Andrey wurde über die letzten vier Jahre ein neuer Vorschlag 📑 erarbeitet, der in den Punkten Privatsphäre, Sicherheit und Offenheit (Open Source) vorbildlich ist 💡 .

2021 wurde die e-ID vom Volk richtigerweise mit 64% Nein-Stimmen abgelehnt - weil sie ohne Rücksicht auf die Privatsphäre 🔓 und auf Infrastruktur in den Händen von Privaten Firmen 🤑 entworfen wurde.

#eID Soll ich Ja 👍 oder Nein 👎 stimmen?

Diese Frage wurde mir in letzter Zeit öfters gestellt.

Einerseits ist die e-ID ein grosser Fortschritt in der #Digitalisierung, der uns viele Angelegenheiten erleichtern und Neues ermöglichen wird. Davon bin ich überzeugt.

There is perhaps an analogy with weed here. Ten years ago, to many weed represented freedom, and rebellion against sclerotic old order that denied self-sovereignty over our bodies. Then, weed became legalized, and "official". On that day, I remember my personal interest in weed dropping by > 2x overnight. And since then, public discourse is moving toward a balanced view of weed: it is much less harmful than alcohol and smoking, and has valuable medical uses, but it is also far from harmless, especially in its modern corporate hyper-optimized versions. Crypto finance is similar. In the old order, @GaryGensler created a regime where tokens that give investors clear indication of what their rights are and where their revenue comes from is a "security", but obfuscated "governance tokens" are potentially in the clear. This was a perverse distortion of incentives, and it is a key reason why @GaryGensler must never be christened as a hero, even among crypto skeptics. Everything that happened in crypto was in part a response, part compliance part rebellion, to these pressures. Over the last year, we have been entering a new order. Now, the most powerful people in the world are cheering on the idea of anyone creating tokens for anything, at any scale.

And so now is the time to talk about the difference between sugar-high short-term fun that is unwise to recommend to newbies, and long-term fulfillment and wealth-building. It is not about "fun is bad", it is about the equivalent of modern hyperaddictive cellphone games, versus chess or World of Warcraft. Now is the time to talk about the fact that large-scale political coins cross a further line: they are not just sources of fun, whose harm is at most contained to mistakes made by voluntary participants, they are vehicles for unlimited political bribery, including from foreign nation states. This is in a sense the essence of d/acc: the goal is not to indiscriminately accelerate everything, including superintelligent AI and fentanyl, the goal is to selectively accelerate defense so that it can keep up with offense. Sometimes, that defense is a matter of cultivating our own sense of virtue. Sometimes, that defense is a matter of creating better alternatives. In defi, we are already starting to see a return toward honest token-based fundraising that gives users clear understanding of what they are buying, bringing us the best of pre-2020-era ICOs while addressing their downsides. The @infinex_app patron sale, and the @Truemarketsorg NFT sale, are two examples of this, and I personally know of other examples that are soon to come. There is a bright future of capital allocation mechanisms that can be built. Potentially, we can come up with ways to ensure alignment with community wishes as well as safeguarding important values like privacy, security, open standards and open source, that could be part of the incentive structure itself. Acceleration is coming either way; it is our task to choose the brightest possible vector.
