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 wish I could find it, but a few years back I was having an argument with some lefties who thought you could just spend debt forever without consequences, and I warned about this exact scenario. Eventually all those shiny government programs will go away and instead we'll be paying all our money to bankers in New York and Beijing.

DeSantis isn't wrong, mind you.

There is no problem with debt in America. Never!

One problem with using the numbers is its all just models

The Democrats are so scared of the guy that they're destroying their party and the nation to spite him. Projection methinks.

Goddamnit that was the pepper shaker wtf dude

All babies are forever freedomtoons Ben Shapiro baby. "Googoogaga folks"

Same lol

Sounds like you're saying you want your bank account frozen.

No lie detected

I wonder if he talks to her like she talks to the other people who disagree with him?

Just imagine, they made this good decision despite not having a CEO or a CFO!

I have been saying for a while that chatgpt is a "verisimilitude engine" which has no interest in producing output that is true, only interest in producing output which appears to be true. In some cases, a correct answer is the most true looking answer that it can come up with. On the other hand, often an incorrect answer is the most true looking answer that it can come up with.

A lot of people that claim that it will replace software developers haven't been in the situation where it gives you provably wrong information, so you correct it, so it gives you provably wrong information, so you correct it, so it gives you provably wrong information, so you correct it. I also had a fun situation where I asked it to create a review of Beowulf in the style of beowulf, and it created something that was rhyming which Beowulf does not. I pointed out that Beowulf does not rhyme, and it said that's right Beowulf does not rhyme, so I said create a review of Beowulf in the style of Beowulf that does not run, and it produced a review of beowulf, that rhymed.

It's incredibly frustrating that so many people were screaming from the rooftops about the danger the world's governments are in, but people who want unlimited free stuff were like "Naw, it'll be fiiiine" ignoring many historical precedents of the fall of empires and their conversion into backwaters

A great post from one of the guys who ran one of the freest instances on lemmy for about a year. He talks about the oppressive problems of activitypub.

He honestly makes some really good points. Everywhere you go there's an implicit and sometimes explicit threat: "you better do what we want or we're shutting the world down for you and you'll be all alone".

He makes some good points about those limitations and then talks about @alex and his view that nostr is the path for the future.

I've got nostr on my phone, I run a nostr relay, but the thing for me it isn't comfy like my soapbox/rebased instance. I'm hoping with the recent news that Alex will be doing more work with nostr (though that was such a badly written article it might even just be fake, I dunno) that he'll integrate nostr into soapbox so we'll that its just another part of the fediverse on my comfy instance rather than a whole other app I cant expect to even use from anywhere I'm not an admin user.

I'm sure they'd like to say "Voltswagen", but its just "Very Woke"

Hard to argue that point.

I saw the story and I wonder how the DNA managed to be preserved all this time? Typically after 1000 years 75% of genetic code is degraded, and that seems like you shouldn't wake up after that. I know some unicellular life doesn't grow new cells unless it reproduces so could probably live without DNA for some time, but I don't think nematodes are single celled organisms.

"Did I at least die like a man?"

"No."

Social pressure to conform is always painted as the ultimate evil, but sometimes you should conform because what you're trying to be a non-conformist is stupid and bad.
