I would love to see a return to curated link collections. Each person’s hobbies and expertise represented in links to the places they contribute, the repositories they are part of, the resources they depend on, and the information sources they consider reliable.

If you added some very basic support for verifying and following links that change, and something to prevent unauthorized AI bot scraping, and shipped it in a docker container that would run on small hardware like this, maybe an alternative grassroots internet could re-emerge.

I want to be a shark in my next life, and swim through what used to be Maralago and poop on it.

They don’t though. The people who can afford a traffic lawyer or know how the system works just get them dismissed. It’s just another tax on those with the least resources.

I appreciate your optimism and I have days where I share it. I do think humanity had the potential for a Star Trek future. But we might be a couple world wars away from it

If you had asked me during the Obama administration I would have said this a chance of becoming law. Today I give it 0.002%.

Speed cameras don’t increase safety. Just ticket revenue.

Folks aren’t buying anything except food and gas. We aren’t out here building new gaming PCs.

For the other species’ sake let’s hope there aren’t any descendants. We had our chance and we blew it, hard.

I love how these people think “we told it not to break the rules” and think somehow the stochastic parrot has understood them and will obey.

My pin is still 1077. The price of a cheese pizza and a large soda at Pannucci’s.

I wish Star Trek was part of standard school curriculum

Who’s able to buy a new car in this economy anyway?

Let’s give them a turn running the planet. We haven’t done a great job, maybe the orcas will do better.

The risks of unregulated AI are very high.

I would think it’s just standard at this point with Palantir that you don’t want anyone to know what you are doing with them. It’s like saying you partnered with Darth Maul on your CRM database. No matter how innocuous the project it reeks of evil.

If it’s just so you personally can access it away from home, use tailscale. Less risky than running a publicly exposed server.

Do these assholes think their money and power make them exempt from needing a livable climate?

How do we pin this post to the top of the internet?

It’s tied to your account on the website. So it’s tied to all of your viewing activity. It could be leaked or compromised. It could be subpoenaed. It could be purchased.
