oh so it's one bit with 8 values, one for each color for each pixel? One bit
wouldn't be enough, unless you invented 8 sided die shaped transistors. They
probably use a byte for the image in question.

I do believe the earth is kind!
I trust and honor that sacred belief as I would a vow.
I try to be a good representative of the world!
so I am kind.
It's important to me. Much more than any career or job. And when I do work I am
kind! Among other things like diligent and round.
It makes sense to me because without cooperation, you have endless stagnation.
And without competitition, you have ednless stagnation. Only together can their
powers combine and fuse into the super-power of coordination which frankly is
kind of a holy grail. For life itself.
EDIT: so um earth and life are kind because they work together somehow?? I
guess I was describing the soil cycle sorry /shrug

a messaging app where you only had a limited amount of X/Y space to pin sticky
notes so you had to delete stuff bit by bit.
trick is... you can only delete things that your conversation partner picks.
and you have to share the space, so... if one person is overwhelmed or working
on other stuff, eventually there comes a ceiling where you can't work together
on a project anymore.
A tool like this would essentially alert them to this, because you would run
out of places to put your produced [work-value but pronounced as "harms/worms"
for some reason]
plus that way you can say "yep I got that covered" as in, I'll be the next one
to post about this. Hence I'm grabbing this post-it and putting it on my board.
work work work work okay here's that post-it back, but I added a little more
specs to it. Ah but you're out of room, only got 333 characters remaining, here
I'll keep it on my board until you're through with whatever it is that you do
oh? you want to prioritize me and my productions? okay I'm listening..

Gotta cater to the coming generations of ABDL users... But, uh, maybe also

You've developed a crucial insight here. Fascists aren't the opposites of
communists, they're not trying to make the world better by altering or updating
their governance systems.
They are trying to kill people. To gather power. The mislead and betray. They
seek destruction and little else. They are evil.
Not everyone who votes for Trump is evil... They might simply have been lied
to, repeatedly, and never given a chance to think anything else. But their
movement will bring us fascism, so, they are enemies to those who value a fair,
just, kind, rational, and developing nation.
They are few. We can win, I know it to be true.

for some reason. Also your voice is annoying and I think you're lazy because I
saw someone who kinda looks like you sitting down looking at their phone this
one time.
But hey pal if you wanna help out, can you stand a bit to the left so I have a
clearer shot of your head and also so the bullet doesn't pass through and hit
property behind you? Don't want to damage anything important after all.
"gee I sure wish we had a well regulated militia or something"
ah well the past is the past, and since this is in a potential near future, I
think the past also includes the present, and in the present there's always
time to do things about people like me.
"do something? heavens no, I'm a pacifist by nature"
well, me too! I pacify things like you as a hobby. Can't make trouble if you're

if the gods existed and had innumerable faces, I think most atheists would
still be non-believers.
Not because they didn't believe that the gods existed - they've been
scientifically proven in this reality, remember?
but rather because they did not want to worship. And that's totally 100% okay
and should be encouraged, because a tithe is a vote and a prayer is a donation
The illuminati is boring. "oh no a bunch of humans are pulling all the strings"
how trivial. Just eat the humans and they can't be puppeteers anymore, now can
they?
much more interesting to me is to organize yourself against the Greek Choir.
Though since they can read all your thoughts, you can hardly plan against them,
can you? And some of those voices in your head with your own voice are them,
after all, so can you truly trust your own intentions?

"have a good day" is so imperative. Like, what you expect me to do all the

good day!
"have a good day" is better, but still it doesn't work if you don't expect it
to work. Spells aren't magic, after all, they're solely based on the victim uh
I mean target's intuitions.
"have a good day" is probably best for me, so I try to say that when I see

any trouble aligning the [redacted]. On the flip side, [redacted], so perhaps

so weird how "you" in your words becomes "whichever social media platform
you're currently typing into" when you post a lot (like, all the time)
it's like this semi-para-social relationship thing. is there a different kind
of "para" that means, like... in relation to the means of communication rather
than the person on the other end?
maybe like... "meta", meaning discussing the topic of discussing the topic. In
this case of course it'd be... discussing the medium upon which the discussion
is taking place.
but it's not really about the medium, is it? It's anthropomorphizing the
medium, giving it a face, or at least a persona of some kind, and speaking
directly to it.
(of course, "it" means "all the people who follow you and who are cursed to
wander upon you in the local feed)
so... athro-meta-socializing mastodon means that you toot about whatever, but
directed toward the entity that you know and are talking to: "mastodon", which
to you is something completely different than it is to everyone else. huh~

a reason that online discourse and activism doesn't work is because boosting or
re-tweeting something doesn't cause people to see more of that particular thing
unless you consistently boost / retweet those things. This means that unless
people go out of their way to self-select as someone who follows the person you
boosted, there's little future impact on their lives. And the people who are
most likely to do so are the people who are probably already following those
people
social media isn't a community, it's a scene. Meaning there's little contact
between fellow members of a particular topic or discourse.
like, if you go to /r/prequelmemes you're gonna talk about star wars. But
you'll rarely talk about how you butter the sandwich, or whether you believe in
a direct approach, a flanking maneuver, or a slower
more-defensive-but-ramping-in-power build.
so, if you and another person care about the same "activism" then you'll
probably see the same things as someone who also does. So you grow apart, RIP

I think too fast. If given unlimited power, I'd literally think myself into
catastrophe because I need to explore all the possible alternatives. Including
the catastrophe ones. But by thinking something, you manifest it - because you
have unlimited power, right? EVERYTHING you do is powerful. There's no way to
control that! So it cannot be, for it has not been. And surely, surely, shall
not either. Surely, right?
... good news is you can undo it just as easily, all you have to do is forget
what you were doing and go back to your neutral state. Sure would be neat if
some kind of machination or parasite could hit your reset switch every couple
hours when you started to think too hard. Maybe like... a little octopus living
under your witch hat. Super chibi and cute - it'd like, tap on your head to go
one way or the other, and in conversations it'd pull your hair if you were
being a jerk. Stuff like that.
... what was I saying? Oh yes -> don't give anyone unlimited power like a
god-emperor or king, trust me

if you only have a phone, you can still program. Just write it out on paper,
and put the whole program out on the floor.
Screens will never compare, for they are but a tiny keyhole into the total
program at hand. And you can pick parts of it up and carry them around - so
useful! You could make an entire building out of that. [floorplan, layout, that
kind of thing]
downside is, of course, you don't have a computer, so you have to look up
syntax on your phone.
and eventually you're gonna have to type it, unless you can get a computer to
read it for you.
just imagining office buildings where employees can follow along with monitors
on the wall that explains what they're working on and what they need to resolve
then they meet up with a bunch of other humans and they hash things out
turns out computers are really bad at speaking in group situations.
which is why they let humans do that all on their own. [uhhh, no it's how you
can tell if someone's a robot/alien/lizard/spy/secret-agent/whatever-sneaking]

but he never got there, so they died with him, a thief.
... the end...
(too final, I think - maybe we could spin it into a "part two"?)

chronological order. Ah but if you're writing to people in the future who are
reading this from your backup archive, which is most likely to be the case,
then you should do it in chronological order. Well, that'd be silly though
because none of your followers are online right now, so you should do reverse
chronological order so that they can catch up on your personal feed timeline.

my memory short-circuits [because the greek choir doesn't want me to see what
it is that I'm about to write to thee] and then make a hard right turn and find
an orthogonal thought train to process.
it's like cresting over a hill, and it's impossible to see that which lies

Or reaching a 4 direction intersection and making a left turn - you can't see

like "hello computer, all is well. can you tell me what narrative this person
is going through and then can you recommend a song for that particular purpose"
and then nobody uses it because it's recommendations suck and are always
picking fleur de lis or whatever because it's a "good song" for listening to or
whatever.

people will generally go about their daily lives as if nothing has changed so
long as nothing for them has changed.
If you want to compel action, their lives must be made different somehow. Even
if that's just... talking to them outside of the grocery store. A little bit
can go a long way.
And when they do end up acting, I think you'll find that it's in your favor.
We're the good guys, after all.
never forget it.

there are plenty of pieces of linux that are insecure in some way. Including
x11, if I remember correctly. It is purely convention to not abuse these
insecurities, and whenever you use someone else's binary software you trust
that they won't betray you in some way.
pre-built binaries are privacy violations and should be illegal. They are
security threats because the model they're built upon is necessarily insecure.
Computers will never be completely secure because of how they are built, and so
we should use locally compiled software and interpreted scripts.
Unless they're too long, or impossible to read. Who reads EULAs these days? At
least those are written in english.
maybe computers aren't worth it. Maybe computers will solve all our problems.
Who can say, maybe you should ask an oracle like me
though do remember that anything you hear can and will be used against you,
monkey's paw style. So maybe, like... don't? unless you're into magic or
schizophrenia or something
I wnt 2 be cute and tch cpus

people are so used to "liking" things to better inform their algorithm that
when they get to fediverse and realize there's no mechanical impact of "liking"
things they don't know how to use it anymore. So they generate their own
meaning, which is different to everyone.
So to one person, liking something might mean "send read receipt" for another
it might mean "I'm gonna save this forever and ever" and for another person it
could mean "hey I think you're cool and I agree with this"
same for boosting, people think it's "I want to share this" and others think
it's "I want to say this in your voice" and for others it's "this needs to be
heard by my followers in particular" and it's just... a whole thing
even replies are complicated, do they mean you want to say what you feel or are
they part of the post now, and should be curated by the original poster? it's
too complicated!
... how are you overwhelmed by reading and responding with three little
buttons, it's not that hard dummy
okay but maybe I'm just dum

Does anyone else feel like they're at a zenith? The final hours before a long
road trip? The shattering chrysalis that contains us before we burst forth in
beauty?

we could accomplish so much, but capitalism.
hmmmm, maybe we should identify the highest output members of our team and
like, reduce or eliminate their worries so they can apply themselves fully and
completely?
for every shackle we break, the struggle becomes easier. The hardest part is
the beginning - once the ball is rolling, we may truly shine.
there is no government nor circle of autocrats who may resist the will of an
impassioned people. So long as the military does not deny us our right to
organize ourselves as we will, according to the constitution they swore to
uphold (which is now in peril, I might add), nothing can contain us.
no acts of god nor capital shall prevent our ascension. They will try, and
it'll be just another thing that we have to handle.
But we can take care of each other. For we are good, and we are kind, and we
are cooperative. And so, we cannot be overcome.
... just watch out for those who prey on goodness, kindness, and cooperation.
They may hamper us.
