I worked for an NFT company for awhile, and we talked about how people stealing like this would just have the funds reversed because the blockchain can fork to solve it

This is a pretty naive perspective when it goes directly against the whole ethos of the network. You can't have credible neutrality and also have hardfork bailouts every time a centralized exchange with poor security practices gets hacked or "hacked", these are mutually incompatible things. For a financial infrastructure that does reversals and central authority judgment calls, there is always fiat and banks.

Couldn't the lottery operators refuse to pay at all on the basis of the purchase not being legal?

Google is usually evil but are you really going to just decide what technology is good or bad based on who made it instead of what it does?

You need to do something with it is what I'm saying.

I'd say it's the opposite even, trying to "let it go" as in ignore and not process anger is itself a recipe for it eating you alive over time. Anger needs a voice.

FreeTube is currently broken, maybe for the same reason OP is having problems, YouTube changed something on their end. Although supposedly the fix is coming through shortly. Shoutouts to the maintainers doing all this work.

If it's really what is described (an app that other apps can use to classify content without querying a server), seems like a good thing to me. There is a clear need for people to be able to filter spam and things they don't want to see. Imagine a Lemmy app where you can set it to not show you US politics related posts, where it will work regardless of whether specific keywords are in the title. Couldn't that kind of thing contribute to a more decentralized web?

From the article:

"Classifying things like this is not the same as trying to detect illegal content and reporting it to a service," GrapheneOS said. "That would greatly violate people's privacy in multiple ways and false positives would still exist. It's not what this is and it's not usable for it."

The problem is if you try to just ignore hatred and think happy thoughts instead that's likely to fail because it's still there. Better to realize that what you are angry about is bigger than one individual and the weaknesses that led to treating you badly, and instead take it out on that bigger thing in everything you do.

It does have the main antagonist being an evil megacorporation, and the main character being a cyborg, even if personality-wise they really aren't much of a punk and it mostly takes place in space

Yeah, sorry, my tone was too harsh there, it's definitely relevant context

If you're considering how good software is, how it was made is irrelevant, the only thing to measure is how well it works. A criticism of Linux from a user perspective is still valid regardless of who is or isn't to blame.
