it is almost impossible to get any other result, and this has been true for two decades now!

the vegans i know are great

you are my people

this is really very good, did you make this? if not, where did you find it?

this would be so cool if we didn’t all have to die. i hope this catches on. we are really good programmers and storytellers so i think losing us will make you sad

saint vapeloki. people like you keep others from running JS that they can’t audit

we are so cooked as a people when a competent president comes in, it’ll be Obama all over again but worse, maybe 10 years before we get a snowden situation revealing all the secrets

i blame simcity 3000. it made me eco, and he was the only eco guy with a platform targeting teenagers in 2005

yay labor day

what’s that meme? a schizophrenic is talking, listen and learn

like for real the last 28 years have been extremely good for your credibility as truth seekers

i still use Google for speed testing bc it works better than ookla

financial crimes prison system is amazing. i wish i could live there

close enough. even proximity to perfection is perfect in a way

this is why openBSD will run the spaceships 20000 years from now if we make it as a species

i wish for a world where we can communicate with experiences instead of words, we would understand each other so much better.

thanks for the truth, truth guy :)

Tom Sexton likes to say that rich people are poor people with money

if we could expand this conversation, i think that to a degree the reverse is true.

i think the neurotypes (we might call them paraphilias actually but you’d be surprised how many people can be reduced to a paraphilia) that connect sex with power imbalance (age, wealth, intelligence, strength, or just legal context like contracts and political relationships) also tend to hoard (valuable things, money, information, connections, data, favors) and these tendencies strengthen each other in a stronger way than most people understand

if you’re interested in what I’m saying, look up “impunity architecture”, especially if you’re Marxist because i think a lot of people think this is inherent to capitalism and it isn’t at all.

hey folks i got graphene, do i need to worry about this or is this what the sandbox is for?

GrapheneOS is okay for personal use but not for corporate use. If you’re smart you can absolutely run Headscale (worth noting that you cannot run a cloud instance of tailscale because the tunnel is coming from a foreign place, and once again do not do this if you’re representing a large business) and connect with your local LLM. this is both legal in China and smart to do in any country with any software, not just LLM stuff.

if you are in China temporarily on a business trip remember that most of the people being oppressed are people who are at risk of corruption on a mid to large scale, and remember that running your own private communications server like prosody or matrix through a headscale tunnel might raise eyebrows if you’re loudly recruiting in your region trying to get everyone to use it. as it turns out this is also true where i live, Lexington Kentucky, as police were skeptical about my obsession with privacy.
