this is self-hosting local-first apps. There’s some local-first manifesto somewhere… one of their greatest ‘backend’ developments were CRDTs. The idea, is that the app can be turned off, synchronization can be interrupted and resumed, and so on. Those CRDTs allow people to use a text editor even when the client(s) are disconnected from the server. Of course, depending on how much your version differs, the merge conflict of diverging versions will be easier to solve…

since we’re stretching the concepts, how about being inhuman for failing an actual captcha? :P

Ah, I saw this term in the past. Never understood, I could barely see the relationship to US elections. And, I’m a complete alien to the sophisticated methods billionaires use to sustain their US dictatorship, but it seems to me that this only works because of some “given” stuff like having only 2 parties, and having electorates… Disclaimer: I don’t want to bother that much into understanding this, like going through lengthy articles on the web. But will definitively read your answers (thanks!)
