Reddit is going to transition to a right wing platform right before our eyes.

is going to

So basically they balked, went for a “more of the same”, then balked off that and went back? Can’t imagine why.

Then again XMPP / Jabber is so much easier to host, you can do it in the cheapest Linode VPS, yet communities don’t use it either.

isolate your identity! avoid leaks! avoid payments! don’t use tracking! avoid analytics!

come join us in our Discord!

…something… does not compute.

They didn’t even hand me a uniform or a qt cap, and they work with Node.js despite several warnings; I ain’t representing shit.

Congrats on keeping your cat active and engaged for 11 years!

Why don’t you speak what you truly believe instead of copy-pasting the same gaslighting everywhere? We already made you, anyway.

Ok, but I would say that these concerns are all small potatoes compared to the potential for the general public gaining the ability to query a system with synthesized expert knowledge obtained from scraping all academically relevant documents.

If any of that was actually true, yeah. But it’s not, it can’t be, and it won’t be.

As with all world-changing technology, “the general public” will never truly obtain its power, not until it has been well squeezed by the elites for gains. Not only that, “the general public” obtaining this power would be devastating on the simple physical principle that this kind of technology depends on ruining the ecology. And this whole “synthethized expert knowledge”… man, that’s three words that mean absolutely nothing when chained together because it’s all illusion: it’s not actual knowledge, it’s not expert, and it’s not even synthetized, at best it’s emulated. It’s all a tangle of lies and make-believes sold on bulk with zero accountability.

But sure, nice dream. I want a Lamborghini, too.

If you work for a company, you’re a representative of that company.

I’m not. Corporate is paying for my work (and barely, at that, given current rates), not for my ethics or for my ethical standing before other people who might not work at the company. If you believe otherwise, you might have been brainwashed by corporate-paid education.

So, lemme get this straight: Wikipedia is being censored (worldwide, might I add) because a party complains that they are reported of as being accused of a thing, or because of the thing itself?

Well, given the kind of company, it’s not like you’d obtain a consent if you asked. They’re too busy getting that Israeli money.

Looks fun and pretty.

A shame…

This puts a whole new spin on “running out of IPv4”.

Establishing an continuing a precedent is important.

Maybe this is why Evil Overlords have cats? So that even if the hero manages to best the human, they won’t be able to get to the Abort Nukes button before T - 00:00 because the cat is hunched on top.

Now that you mention indie games, I think it’s important to distinguish intents and showcase how publishers are shooting themselves in the foot.

Someone who pirated an indie game (why tho?) and liked it, is more likely to pay for it because indie publishers also provide better medium to pay for the actual software, or contribute to the actual developer, with fewer middlemen and rent-seekers. If someone pirated an AAA game and liked it and wanted to buy it, their options are still limited due to one of the main reasons of having pirated the game in the first place. At prices of, like, US$ 60 lol, hey’d have to wait until a Steam supersale or smth…

They could steal your personal data without you knowing.

Hah! Like the “legal” services are much better than that!

So the cat distribution system also works when the cat then goes off… interesing!

Technically the media conglomerates should be the ones to be sued: they provide material to be pirated in the first place!

She’s well seated on the barstool and not on the counter. I’ll allow it! o3o
