  • Mort aux marchés du matin ! Ces vestiges d’un autre temps doivent disparaître !

    Personne n’a envie ou moyen d’aller au marché avant le boulot. C’est l’ère du marché du soir maintenant :)

    Enfin je dis ça techniquement il a fait tellement chaud que mon marché du soir a été annulé cette semaine… Je continue de penser que ça rend le marché bien plus accessible que le matin.

    With so many cops why would it rely on the honour system ?

    I mean it should be the cops kicking out people off bike lanes… We have assholes like that in the EU but they sometimes get a fine for it and eventually some stop doing that kind of shit.

    The problem is that it’s not enforced by your police forces.




  • You fell for the trap of thinking that you can only protect childrens by accepting to sacrifice privacy.

    My post was clearly pushing for doing both :

    Proving anonymously that you are an adult without giving your identity.

    Again I have to repeat I’m not against preventing childrens from accessing social networks.

    Where we disagree is that you think you have to give up on some privacy to achieve that goal. I don’t.

    Now let’s agree that we disagree and I will let you give your faceid to shady businesses and see them leak two weeks later.









  • I was expecting skepticism about that in my comment and choose purposefully the word “referendum” for that reason.

    I dont think electronic voting is ready for important electoral votes but it may be sufficiently secure for referendums that are fully digital. In France, you can sign petition to force certain questions to be asked to the government. A cryptographic mean to sign that petition would be very useful and in this case prevent people from attempting to sign multiple times.

    We already have a hardcopy ID to travel internationally or ID to drive vehicles. The risks of an electronic ID being easily copied would have to get me visiting other solar systems or driving a time machine before I considered it.

    I think the opposite. Standard papers are and always have been fraudulently copied by criminals. Cryptography can make it impossible to copy an ID card the same way it makes it impossible to clone your credit card.

    The main risk is for governments to try to emit fake ID cards for imaginary citizens, but they were already doing it mostly for their “spies”.

    I honestly think it will completely stop criminals from copying papers or creating fake ones. At least as long as the government takes security of the ID card emitting body is taken seriously and audited transparently.

    Really a lot of your criticism of digital means applies very much to older paper based systems. I personally participated in counting votes in my local elections and despite many counts by multiple people, we didn’t get the same count everytime. So while mass fraud is very unlikely, the count of all elections is not really accurate.

    But again my original point was for this digital ID card to be used only for referendums and not electoral voting. Anonymity is not necessary when citizens petition for a cause to be heard.
