#rust#dataflow#rust#static_analysis#vscode
Flowistry is a tool for Rust programming that helps you focus on the parts of code relevant to your current task by analyzing how data flows within functions. When you select a variable or expression, it fades out unrelated code, making it easier to understand complex functions and see what affects or is affected by that code. It works as a VSCode plugin and uses Rust’s ownership system to provide precise analysis. This helps you read, debug, and modify Rust code more efficiently by reducing distractions and highlighting important dependencies. However, it has some limitations with certain Rust features like interior mutability and nested functions.

#Policy_Brief: Coercion Over Consent: #Ethiopia’s dangerous mandatory Digital ID experiment
In this policy brief, Mohamed A. argues that Ethiopia's mandatory Digital ID (#Fayda) is a "flawed and dangerous policy," not because identification itself is problematic, but because enforcement lacks legal safeguards. He emphasizes that centralizing sensitive data risks turning governance into a tool of "surveillance, control, and exclusion."
According to him, Ethiopia is "importing the concept as if it were a proven model." In Ethiopia's fragile institutional context, this amounts to "recklessness disguised as modernization," especially with foreign funding raising unresolved questions about "who controls the data."
The author urges authorities to "pause enforcement" until trust and oversight are established, arguing that without them, mandatory ID is "not progress—it is a poorly designed and dangerous policy."
