He really shouldn't have dumped trillions of private and public money into AI. Thanks Gabe /s

Its so fun how words become new things in different contexts. Like awesome to describe the awe and terror a volcano erupting provoked to how I describe the burger I had last night.

Have a spring? Have a field?

You have water and space. Put some people on it you have a town in the making.

Right! Monero still has it's use avoiding state oppression. The concept of smart contracts is still very promising to me too.

Unfortunalty a finance innovation was ripe to be overwhelmed in our current financial system. After that the innovation has taken a major back burner with the exception of zero knowledge roll ups.

Nice so a small AI data center's worth of wattage, that's cool

So just air cooled towers then? Huh, what's the wattage that you are cooling like that?

AstraZenica COVID vaccine was going to be opensource but he used with weight as a donor to pressure the university to sell it to a firm he had ownership instead

If copyright is sacrosanct then the creation of data by me is my own personal property and without a contract anyone holding my data is in violation.

Blessed are those that plant trees for the shade they will never see.

This mentality is why we are in the position we are today. If we all fail to try to build a better future today the next generation will suffer more than us and it will be our fault then.

Tbf cli help is copy paste, GUI help is something I didn't want to help with even when I was being paid for it

Honestly very much not my experience unfortunately. It's amazing how many "dudes into hisstory" are swept in by most stories generals and dictators told people about themselves.

Like yeah was the Slaver general really a "good Christian man", no he was an asshole, who nearly died shitting in the woods like the rest of the world.

So many people romantisize the Roman empire but in reality that was after it really went to shit for most people. ( Which is really hyped by "great man history" problem in which people latch onto specific names and figures instead of actually considering that in reality it was the choices of millions and the circumstances they found themselves in that mattered WAY more then what one dude said to his friends, senator/etc or not)

No the Americas wasn't a "virgin" new land ripe for the takening. Totally undeveloped or unexplored. The forests weren't just bustling full of game and food suspiciously safe for people to eat for no reason.

John Brown reaction to slavery is actually pretty fucking reasonable. Both because it should make you sick to your stomach to see it but also the assholes who did it shot and killed some of his familey.

Etc, etc.

Can be good. I ride my bike when I can, but my area IS NOT built for it, so it actually pretty risky. Heck some normal routes for me would probably get me stopped by the cops for recklessness.

Remember a lot of effort and money is spent into brainwashing us from young ages to be constantly be buying shit we don't need and to feel like we are living bad lives if we don't have it.

Remember it's bullshit, remember that you are more than the fucking trinkets and landfill filling they want you to trade all your time for.

Boycott shit, find any reasonable moral cause as a good reason not to buy something. There's almost always a good reason not to buy something that you don't need.

Huh, so I've always disliked funkopoops but just because I didn't like the mass production design and they were made in China with no evidence trying not to be made with slave labor.

Now I have a new reason

Its funny how to many the whole concept seems new, but to me it's just the topics and price range.

Escorts, and strippers have been entertaining patrons with intellectual conversations probally for as long as the second oldest profession has been around.

Wait is this trying to suggest just renting is the same thing as a library?

The benifit of a library is you share the cost as a group and get some fractional use of it. Like books that you only really need access to for small amount of time.

Its not the same as say Amazon owning the book rental space and choosing, without any choice on your point, on what books are there or who could get access to them.

We need purists like the fsf. They are truly fighting the good fight, but I am also happy to see people be just more free too, even with some compromise.

Open source project focused on giving people features they want but in a privacy and censorship resistant way. Classic Moz

The government IT shops part feels like a real issue. If the government gets it's self in a tech debt to two of the largest IT orgs because they didn't want to invest the time to get Firefox enterprise installed and configured on at least their own machines I'll be pissed. Like why are we spending so much but getting so little from our IT?

This the dangerous kind of parody, I would rather help people with excel programs than another access program and that's a pain in the ass.
