 You become a slave to your tools. And quite frankly, it is no one else’s your fault but yours. 
 This implies that the tools don't serve to build towards a goal. 
 Nooo... that's just the test. It's when the computer judges us to be according to our test performance. 
 The twitter handle 😂😂 
 Argh ... Fedi, not twitter. 😓 😭😭😭 
 Is this like "religion is necessary for morality" strawman argument? 
 The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have... 
 Nobody said that this is what politics *must* focus on. Governance is about high level organization and alignment. This can be about breadth of coordination area/scale. There is no reason why exactly *people* have to be the focus.

It seems to me that the ridiculous amount of focus on people is a bad sign.

For example, manage roads primarily at municipality level, with some minimal alignment for edge cases on higher levels. And manage traffic signs nationally for consistency.

It doesn't need to be about people. That's not politics. That's perversion of power. 
 Usually  .... but then when it does happen to you, it lights a fire under your ass.

 I still don't get your point. 
 Is there something specific that you're referring to? 
 You, let me just say this now: you're being deceived. You're not making a point, because everything I'm being attacked over are lies. 
 Of course you do. 
 Pointless to single out social media, or internet participation.

 Why is someone who is visually inclined allowed to make drawings in support of his reasoning, but someone who is auditorily inclined not speak aloud in support of his reasoning? 
 Or said differently, "fuck the bullshit excuse that if someone speaks about something they must be an idiot who doesn't know what they're talking about!"
I've heard that way too often. It's wrong in by far the most cases, and it's fucking disgusting to dictate what some is or isn't allowed to do to "appear intelligent/knowledgeable". 
 Can we talk about the importance of a quantum resistant #bitcoin fork? 
 It is already at least partially mitigated, I think. 
 The ability to stay calm and polite, even when people upset you, is a superpower. 
 For 8 years straight, now, I'm being attacked by assholes. 
 For no reason. 
 You could try communicating with words 😋

 Yup. Is an interesting topic by itself. Something I'll have to tackle at one point myself; is going to be interesting. 😁😅 
 Thanks, but this isn't about fear (or hate). It could be about revenge, because one of the earliest vicious persistent attacks concerned a false accusation regarding some religious person. (That is, one of these people that are fine with lying, deception, fraud, etc. as long as they go to church reliably.)
These people are lying and deceiving in whichever way they can. The earliest signs point to malicious intent from the start, even before there was a component that would involve fear.
As mentioned before, this involves massive amount of malicious intent. They grab whatever bullshit excuse they can get hold of. These people are seriously disturbed in more ways than one.

 And then if you try to explain the truth they say "if you need to reinforce it, it cannot stand on its own, therefore it's a lie". 
 I keep coming back to wondering if everyone's working very hard to trying to teach/convince me things that I have long known, while I'm waiting for something sensible. 😅 
 I'm not sure that's 100% accurate tbh.  
 You're being deceived. 
 Actually, you're missing the key point. The goal is to bully me into giving up all the things I valued either in terms of knowledge/information or principle. There has been a coordinated campaign with harassment and abuse, essentially to push me to give up on choice I made based on my values and principles.
*That* is what I refuse to surrender. The curve was never an issue. It's all part of the deception of my enemies. 
 This isn't the point. 
 If you don't know, just consider it some insane person's ramblings. 
 That's pretty solid parking 😋 
 You can't kill the truth 
 nostr:nprofile1qqsxpuhwm8qys9q4gc7e0xvjp8mp6apf2ukptkyhrsc6hzqjd93vjrcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp083ulrr what truth? Are you trying to force a specific malicious explanation again? 
 There are some people who seem to "find out", more than should be possible under normal circumstqnces, about me. I have to deal with some seriously disturbed people who've been acting behind my back using false accusations as an excuse.
Certain people on social media "magically" know exactly what kind of messages to boost to propagate and extend the persistent attacks. I claim that this is one such boost based used to attack me by throwing another "quote" in my face as a way to say "you're lying", based on/motivated by "unspoken false accusations" maliciously constructed to propagate lies. 
 Don't force your argument. Stop lying. Stop deceiving. Stop making up false, malicious excuses to be assholes.

 Remember that your npub exposes your public key. 
 DoH, DoT, DNSCrypt and DoQ have been a good attempt to mitigate the privacy of DNS queries agains... 
 dnscrypt doesn't rely on TLS. 
 Also, I don't understand what you're actually commenting on with ESNI and ECH .. is it the dns query or the subsequent webserver connection? 
 Sure, so the passive attacker knows you connect to the DoH/DoT ip address and it leaks the fact that it is "dotprovider.secret", but not the query you send.
Indeed SNI was necessary at first for webservers that serve multiple domains. ESNI solves that.
I didn't see dnscrypt discussed while scanning the article. dnscrypt is built on plain UDP/TCP packets, very similar to original DNS, but with encryption. See spec at dnscrypt.info (Note also that there are "oblivious" querying methods that obscure the exact domain name you're querying from the nameserver. Offered by dnscrypt-proxy.)

Afaict from your post, the emphasis is predominantly on the (E)SNI issue. 
 Sure, but that means we agree on that the dns methods themselves aren't a problem. I wadn't sure about that.
Have you considered the OCSP queries? Given that we all want https on all servers, now suddenly we need to query for certificate validity in every connection. 😋
Firefox allows you to use CRLite but it has to be enabled. 
 (As a side-note: maybe not every connection. I haven't looked into when it is exactly invoked.)

 So, basically reverse roles of public key and private key for signing/verification? 
 Funny enough, those are in Ukraine and Putin claims to oppose them. So it doesn't even make for a consistent story 
 Actually, if this is a response to a current event, then you're prly being deceived.

 Learning: Doing is faster than watching 
 I don't agree, per se. But too many presentations and tutorials, etc are too superficial. Superficial to the point that you can't extend your capacity for reasoning about something. Sure, practical experience is nice, but it is often too shallow and narrow(ly focused).

For example, https://dannyvanheumen.nl/post/engineering-the-unified-oop-paradigm/ is written based on a significant amount of theoretical knowledge obtained from in-depth presentations and blog-posts, in addition to practical experience in (let's call it) boring, messy business code-base, and my ability to make serious ("experimental" but not that much) changes in an open-source project.

Most people will probably dismiss the post as bullshit, but only because they do not really understand the breadth of the mess and confusion. Incidentally, I know Kotlin coerces some better practices by how they define functions and such. 
 Also, people who claim I don't have any practical experience are lying and misrepresenting what I have said. Most of the attacks are based on twisted words and misrepresented situations by malicious people who have apparently decided to lie about *everything* they possibly can in an attempt to steal everything away and ruin everything they can possibly manage. Too many people are/were invested in the lies.

 Dottie? From a movie? 
 Prly good decision. I looked it up. Need to listen to it but never heard of it. 😅😆😂 
 If you wonder, but "how do you know?" Well, I've got attacked over numerous issues that I had sibsequently explained in more detail. Instead they had taken just the "yes"/"no" and put it in a different context with twisted meaning. 
 Today is my Birthday! 🎉 To celebrate, I have a fun game for everyone. Here's how it works:

 I doubt it. I'm very bad with birthdays. 😅😆
