#election-denial — Public Fediverse posts

Voting machines are a brisk and effective means of tabulating votes, unlike error-prone humans counting paper ballots. Now comes the next—and only—logical and moral step to ensuring the freest and safest elections while keeping our votes secret and conspiracist bunk at bay: make them open-source.

It also asked for a search for 32 right-wing buzzwords related to #abortion, #immigration, #ElectionDenial, & #Jan6, suggesting a determined effort to find #State Dept staff who even just discussed such matters.

Multiple sources say State Dept employees raised alarms internally about the records requests.

Weekly output: Google’s AI Mode, Waymo’s software testing, Trump threatens Chris Krebs, Venmo’s dubious privacy defaults

I had a short and useful visit to the future home of Starfleet Academy’s headquarters, courtesy of NTT’s Upgrade 2025 conference there hosting me (including comped airfare and lodging), and now I need to finish writing two pieces from that Japanese telco’s event.

4/7/2025: Google Expands Its Conversational ‘AI Mode’ Search Option, PCMag

Since I already had access to AI Mode and since this is a gardening time of the year, I tested this search option with some queries on that subject for Google’s Gemini AI.

4/8/2025: For Waymo’s Software Team, Bug Hunting Sometimes Happens at 45mph, PCMag

I wrote up an enlightening talk from a Waymo engineer at a software-quality conference I attended the week before hosted by a Tysons Corner startup called Antithesis–and then I got to experience the results of Waymo’s ongoing work during two uneventful rides in San Francisco.

4/10/2025: Still Mad About Losing the 2020 Election, Trump Targets Cybersecurity Pro, PCMag

One reason that I haven’t yet filed anything from NTT’s event is that I took time Thursday to report and write this post to ensure that it would adequately convey the fraudulent nature of Trump’s complaint against Chris Krebs, the CISA director he hired in 2018 and then fired in 2020 for telling the truth about the integrity of that year’s election.

4/11/2025: Venmo’s dubious defaults look like a permanent privacy foul, Fast Company

I’ve had a version of this story on my to-do list for a while, but then the inept opsec of the Trump administration served up a news peg when journalists found the Venmo accounts of multiple White House principals and started exploring their public-by-default friends lists. (Everyone in this administration should have known better, since BuzzFeed News located Joe Biden’s Venmo and inspected his friends list back in 2021). I quizzed a few subject-matter experts, but getting a statement out of Venmo took a little longer.

PRRI finds that nearly one in four Republicans who hold a favorable view of Trump (23%), and 19% of all Republicans, say that if Donald Trump loses the election, he should declare the results invalid and do whatever it takes to assume office. Only 12% of Democrats say Kamala Harris should do the same.

Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) has just published results of a new survey of more than 5,000 Americans, which finds that though a majority of Americans reject political violence a concerning percentage of Americans, particularly Republicans with favorable views of Trump, continue to support political violence and election denial.
