"there's no reason for me to do that with you - you are not comprised of

google and their ads created the market for SEO optimized garbage which clogs
up the arteries of the internet. They and their business model are culpable in
the murder of the digital commons.

if people want to do their capitalist thing then sure, go for it.

homework is fine if they give you free time to do it. But most of the time they
expect children to go to school for 8 hours a day and then go home to more work.
No thank you.
When I was homeschooled, I had about 1-3 hours of schoolwork every day. After
that, I would read, play, explore, and spend time under the sun.

yeah, I mean, I agree, but try convincing them of that.
I believe that there must be no non-consentual application of power, in the
general sense.
I also believe that one person's rights end where another's begin.
Because of those two axioms, it is impossible to contest people who consent to
being enslaved. Who am I to take their chains from them, if they grip them to
their chests so dearly?
But I will not tolerate them clasping new ones around the necks of our future
children. I will not allow them to desecrate our home. They are welcome to join
us, when "us" finally gets our shit together. But they can hold no dominion
over us, nor anyone else - that is the crucial core of my belief.

because funding tends to be controlled by the "business major" types, and all

means they're unlikely to invest in me or utilize my ideas.
unless of course it's crowd-funded, which makes me feel bad because it's taking
money from the people I'm trying to empower.
thus, power accretes in the hands of the wealthy, as the poor are too sick with

that was hundreds of years ago, though. Plenty of time for it since to twist

my understanding of the police force in america is that it's like, 15% racist
misogynistic assholes who pull people over for stupid reasons and try to start

problem is, if their community is racist assholes then they tend to align as
such.
the remaining 10% are idealists who have the power to sway their comrades in a
way that the 15% racist assholes don't. I speak to them.

the fascist's plan requires them to lose. Their whole business model is to dupe
a succession of rubes and get rich in the process. Trump being elected the
first time was a surprise, which is why they couldn't manage to get much done.
The infrastructure needed to legitimize fascism was resisted at every turn by
the lawyers and government workers who were in place.
however, due to a recent supreme court ruling, they no longer need to worry
about people resisting their rule through the powers granted to them by their
stations. All they have to do is ask if they're loyal, and if not, they can be
replaced.
In 2016 they just wanted to get rich. Recently they had a shot, thank god that
Biden is a savvy politician and knew how to tank their attention and focus
their attacks on weaknesses that Kamala did not possess, like his age and
mental lucidity.
They are going to lose, they know it, and they're going to be pissed, so... be
ready for that.
on the bright side, they will lose each time

it gives a false sense of security for one thing, and it prevents you from
adding onto it to explain more.
I'd much rather post a clarification, apology, or updated statement attached to
the main post than allow others to dictate the conversation.

On Reddit, you talk about ideas to faceless users whose names are almost
entirely irrelevant.
on Twitter and Mastodon, you speak to people and "sound your barbaric yawp"
into the void.
on forums, you have a continual conversation that ebbs and flows and
occasionally returns to the main point, but often will spiral out to random
places that the responders decided were worth exploring.
instagram and facebook and the like are designed to share your real life - your
experiences and your masks.
tumblr and cohost are designed to blog about topics and interests, abstracting
the "communal" aspect away and essentializing connections to the tenuous ties
between people who enjoy similar pieces of pop media.
reddit's style encourages discussion.
twitter's style encourages expression.
forums encourage conversation.
instagram encourages perfection.
tumblr encourages culture.
I'm from Reddit, so please feel free to tell me how and why I'm wrong.
Here on Mastodon if more than 10 people reply, it'll be impossible.

I think forums would be great if you could collapse replies to particular
comments, sorta like how you can on Reddit.
I think this would encourage discussion and conversation the same way that
forums do, while making it easier to get up to speed on topics.
Far too often I've looked at a forum and thought "oh hey I'd love to reply to
this 40 page long thread, but I don't want to read 40 pages because I want to
speak rather than read"
... I don't think that's unreasonable, which I guess is why I gravitated toward
Reddit where people are encouraged to speak... downside is, repeated
conversations, like you said. There's no perfect solution for everyone =P

you know how SSH password login is deprecated because the password needs to be
transmitted in cleartext or whatever?
what if we just... required two passwords?
the first initiates the conversation, and sets up an encrypted line. It doesn't
matter if anyone sees the first password because they'll get a new set of
encrypted keys, meaning each session automatically is encrypted in a different,
randomized way.
the second password is the one that actually authenticates you.

alternatively, when you initiate an SSH session it sends you a randomized
public key whose private key is the password that you need to login. By
decrypting the string of text it sent you and sending it back (plus the
password at the end or whatever) you can ensure secure authentication without
bothering with the passwordless keys which are wayyyyyy more trouble than
they're worth and lack the "something you know" authentication method.

it might be, I don't know much about it (hence why I'm asking questions) but I
have heard that ssh keys are more secure than password authentication and it
never made sense to me. If availability is important for security purposes,
then wouldn't SSH keys (which are much more difficult to carry around than a
password) be less suitable?

true, but much the same way people will rebel against inconvenience by writing
passwords on sticky notes, so too might they put SSH keys onto the nearest
flash drive without validating that it hasn't been compromised. There's
tradeoffs everywhere I guess.

if you give everyone science-fiction tech, they're going to just make a bunch
of guns and nuclear weapons and destroy each other.
worse, they might grow to fill their cosmic shoes and destroy others nearby who
didn't make weapons.
it takes a while for the Federation to get anywhere. Plus they're stretched
pretty thin. If they gave everyone the same technology as they had, they'd
quickly find themselves in the company of despots and warlords who were
empowered to subjugate and control. Not ideal.
Personally I think they should announce their arrival and offer citizenship to
anyone who asked to be uplifted, while barring them from ever returning home
and breaking the prime directive. I think that would be a decent middle
ground...

"Alright I'm not great with syntax so I'm going to write it in pseudocode
first, and then if you'd like I can show you how I work through implementing
the syntax.
But first - do you want a robust solution, a quick solution, or a rapidly
deployed and cheap solution?"
using this trick you can pretend to be competent in any programming language,
except maybe ancient ones like Fortran or strange ones like lisps or Haskell
if they ask you to use a framework or something tho you're kinda boned because
you need to know which functions to call and how to initialize context and
such. When using a framework, the boilerplate is the code, which is why
frameworks suck

yep that's like... my whole strat
it totally works outside of the internet, because everyone online is
politically invested -.-
most everyone IRL is morally invested tho so they tend to follow what I'm
saying and if they can't find any issues, then they'll believe your conclusions.
I've also found that speaking what you believe is more efficient than
highlighting contradictions in what they believe.
