Episode 3 of .thedotfiles is now available! In this one, I speak with Taylor Hulsman, an expert on botnets, and the creator of Hashchan, a decentralized imageboard which fights back against the relentless spamming that is granted by anonymity. We also cover the dizzying reality of bot-driven narratives that drive the way people think and act, and try to cook up some white pills along the way.
