    Ai is intransparent to nearly everyone, and as such should not be used for voting or similar.

    Blockchain is a way to ensure no one can tamper with the history of some data undetected, which might be used for keeping a count of the votes, but for most normal people it is also intransparent, so it should only be used with caution if simpler methods are not an option.

    I never heard of DAOs before, but seeing the start of the wikipedia entry, it looks like an interesting way to use technology. But it suffers the same problem as the two other technologies: it is intransparent for a lot of people. Also if there is a bug in the software (which will happen at some point in time), it will be hard to fix it.

    If you have a legitimite minecraft account, you can use multimc (and probably prism) to launch a game in offline mode (and choose a custom name). This works for example if you want to play with a friend in a lan world.

    I can also do it with my right hand, but i did it with my left first cause there is this german phrase "doing something with left" which means something is so easy for you, you don't even need your dominant hand for it.

    As someone who used Prolog in an academic circumstance for more than just logic, i fully agree with that article.

    But i still think C++ has more footguns than Prolog.

    You can just not git add the one file on the secondary drive when it is not connected. This schould not be that much overhead and (at least for me) it is much simpler than any other solution. Ps: Why do you want that one config file on the external drive and not on the main one?
