Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

I mean... Really, isn't the failure of most products because of all the people not using it? :P

Razzorfist made a fantastic point that any game service with DRM is just a rental service. The online store that's actually a store is GOG, since the games are DRM-Free and you can download your own copies of all the games you buy.

The other thing is that ChatGPT can fail the turing test pretty bad, so you can structure an essay question in such a way that ChatGPT won't provide and answer that'll give a passing grade answer.

Yeah, nheko and fluffy chat also both work with Matrix Conduit, which is a Matrix server that doesn't support every feature yet, but does run as a homeserver on really light hardware.

I've got it running alongside ejabbered and lotide on an Intel Atom D2550 -- hardware that is not very powerful.

Some of the schools in the article that haven't produced a single literate student cost over $56,000 per student per year!

"This small scandal in a single charter school proves the charter school doesn't work."

Meanwhile, in public schools: https://dailycaller.com/2023/02/14/math-reading-chicago-schools-report/

"you live in one of the highest carbon use locations in earth so you need to live in the pod and eat the boogs"

Oh. So you'll ban migration from low carbon use countries to help reduce our population the, right?

"What? We can't possibly do that! Our economy would shrink!!!"

(oh cool, you're on the fediverse! Love your videos, man)

I Kant believe this story

Crypto exchange Binance closed Bitcoin withdrawals on May 7 due to an alleged overflow of transactions on the Bitcoin network.

1. Store of value
2. Medium of exchange
3. Method of account

Amen.

Lately, certain people want a monopoly on facts, and that's not possible. Reality is the final arbiter of truth, not a politician or a website operator.

The goal should be to suss out what the truth is with humility rather than trying to pretend anyone is omniscient.

lol "We paid to have this happen because we wanted you to pay attention to us, but it's disinformation because when we want you to stop paying attention to it you didn't"

Replacing energy use with nothing certainly implies that someone was going without. Maybe because businesses aren't producing products, or maybe because people are having to choose between food and heat and choosing food (or maybe less of both).

Worst case scenario on the production front, manufacturing that was done using nuclear power in Germany is now being done in China with coal and shipped around the world in boats powered by Bunker fuel.

why even live?

Hmmm... So you're saying I don't need to wait over 9000 years for the damn localizer to finish translating Hell Mode or 100 million year button?

Sold.

The worst of mankind are our "everything is fine" alarm. If you can't hear them anymore, that's when you need to get scared because we're next.

Hooking up a Nintendo Wii to the internet is like walking around a shopping mall that's about to be shut down. Just a bunch of storefronts that are locked up. 😢

I think the pandemic response opened a lot of parents eyes.
