Oh... Holy shit... Just saw your post history. As far as HN users go, you're the genuine article in propagandists. If you're ever up for an interview in your sources, I'll entertain it.

I made something similar with https://github.com/0x41head/posthumous-automation It's completely open-source and you can self host it.
All that stuff looks fun, but I'm utterly terrified at the idea of it malfunctioning. Like, in a false-positive way. And, as a professional deformation, I guess, it is basically an axiom for me that any automation will malfunction at some point for some ridiculously stupid and obvious-in-the-hindsight reason I absolutely cannot predict right now. I mean, seriously, it isn't a laughable idea that a bomb that will expl…
As technology advances, we will develop more effective means of determining whether someone is truly deceased, for e.g. something like Neuralink could provide significantly improved methods for verifying actual death.

I think you're missing something really obvious here. Piracy is not expressive content. You call it a game, and therefore it must be - but it's not. It's simply an illegal good. It doesn't have to serve any purpose. It cannot be bound by copyright, due to the illegal nature. The Morris Worm wasn't copyrightable content. Something is not required to be expressive content, to be bound under law. That's not a requiremen…

#464Especially if one party have incentive to discredit/destroy such person, so court/jury won't take their testimony seriously(or there will be no testimony at all). After all it's almost impossible to connect such actions with subsequent suicide.
While suicide is by definition action of individual, what leads to it isn't always the same.

I see. I guess I think of it as something that triggers automatically if you don’t reset it every day and doesn’t rely on another person. For example, a script that publishes the information if you don’t input the password every day.
And then it's published if you experience a temporary power outage. If it's important that it's only released if you're actually dead, putting it in the hands of a person is your only real option.

How could it be published without power.

If I'm a whistleblower in an active case and I end up dead before testifying, I absolutely DO want the general public to speculate about my cause of death.
This conspiracy shit is tiring. Is this Truth Social or HN?
