mostly inactive, lemmy.ca is now too tainted with trolls from big instances we’re not willing to defederate
I get what they mean but… it’s in such poor taste.
As i said take it from people who actually write software as a career.
As I do… but I’d rather not take it from software engineers because we are not experts. I’d rather listen to real experts, the folks who research this topic as their career.
We’re literally telling you to not pay us to do that
Noted.
the loss of the paper audit trail would be catastrophic for verification
Which is why researchers of electronic voting defend the use of Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT).
But anyway, “this isn’t a discussion” is consistent with statements like “there is absolutely zero reason to expose voting systems to a digital threat vector” so I guess there are things we seem to agree on.
Trust the engineers.in the actual software domain then
Yes, which I am. Though who I’d trust the most here are the cryptography researchers that dedicate their life to researching electronic voting systems.
As an engineer, you should know that no system is perfect and there are several trade-offs and threat models to consider. And electronic voting can’t be discussed in a vacuum, but measured against existing voting systems which are also full of their own kinds of issues and risks.
Beyond insane. Every time Doug Ford comes back to mind I’m triple thankful for being represented by David Eby.
Montague doesn’t show up for barely anything, but in matters of catering to oil & gas lobbyists and licking the balls of Chip Wilson, the guy will consistently go all in.
Fuck ourselves for electing this guy, and this ABC majority in general.
