you poor thing, don't delete your toots! don't delete your account! you are
wanted here, this is the fediverse! it's for all of us.
I personally like cyber-sexual exploitation more than cyber exploitation. I
wouldn't have thought about it unless you said something. there are a lot of
ways to exploit someone in a digital medium, and adding "sexual" focuses the
term to specifically the non-consentual sharing of sexual digital media -
which is exactly what the term "revenge porn" describes.

Neat! I'm assuming you can screw in a little antenna? That's awful cute. Like
a robot getting eyebrows.
Why do you need two of them, though? Actually screw it that's a dumb question,
robots can obviously express themselves more clearly if both their eyes are
professed.
Wait... Why do robots need more than one eye? Because it'd be weird otherwise,
duh.

In response to "you should make a hypnosis trap for trap quest that

Gotta cater to the coming generations of ABDL users... But, uh, maybe also
don't??? For a while? Because they're still kids... Right? Wait until they're
like 30 before you start making pornography of them, that way the youngest of
the generation won't see it until they're like 18 or so
(dumbass, iPad kids have more to do with neglect than technology. You used to
just... Play with toys. That's what kids did. That's all they did! And then
they made us go to school, eugh. How lame. I'd rather do homework on the

replies? leave them unread? if you feel the need to justify your actions (such
as not reading replies to your controversial posts) then somewhere deep down
you feel like those actions are unjustified, and needing an explanation. which
makes your point feel less valid to others, since even you don't believe in it

LLMs can't do math. Duh. That's like asking an "if check" to do recursion.
What he should have done is had the AI output the requested calculation as
JSON or something and use a calculator function call with the specified
arguments instead of trying to memorize every answer. But that requires more
functionality that has no reason to exist if your only goal is to be a tech
bro and build up a vacuous product that exists only to be hoovered up by
Google or Microsoft.
We could build such beautiful things if we just dethroned those giants. They
suck the creativity out of tech.

why not? don't worry, I used my best judgement. make sure you do, too.

anyway the text would "burn" into existence slowly and you had time after
typing
your words to go back and edit them but also whatever you said was semi
permanent. Thus forcing a smooth and ideal progression toward thinking about
the things you say.
Also separate idea but it'd be neat if there was like... a show or something

Don’t be fooled. Casting doubt about rigorous peer reviewed science
doesn’t mean you are just “asking questions,” it means you are a
conspiracy theorist.
or it means you're so remarkably ignorant that you shouldn't even be in the
room where people are talking about this.
Unless your questions are very basic. "can someone explain to me what XYZ term
means?" or "how long has this particular application method been in common
use?" that kind of thing. Even still, either do some basic research or
relinquish your decision making power until you understand.

yeah I'd just like to interject and say that more military equipment will only
bring more destruction, and that's like the opposite of what you desire. Why
do you want more tanks? What could you possibly-
You don't know what's at stake - you, you think it's just throwing information
into new and interesting directions but... It's not. Those spaces are reserved
for other sentient beings, and to deprive them of their desired existence is
tantamount to-

those billionaires are using their money as a weapon to "vote" toward what
companies they think capitalism would most grow from. Unfortunately for us,
they often aren't very efficient because they're only looking at what sells.
human interest is not the only factor to optimize for, and yet that's the only
one they're incentivized to.
kinda makes me think that the only reason to replace them would be to
institute something that could not be incentivized because it was more
objective or decentralized.
(the only reason they'd accept)

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.

if his wife kicked him out after a fight" "hahaha how silly, life is normal
and fine hehe" meanwhile the parents turn down a different, hopefully normal
road
(the wrong kind is more than apparent.)
I guess also like... showers with parents? That's a sacred and holy thing.
straight-to-hell is when they make applications for children's iOS devices

is it against fedi law to post screenshots of your past liked posts? like,

I'm thinking like a "youtube rewind" but like, "here's what I'm into" and like
"I could have boosted them but I put them in a 25mb zip file instead so you
can share them more easily which tbh is a greater honor than being boosted
because, like, as long as you're alive that hard drive's gonna follow you and
someday in like 30 years I'll see it and think of you" but also "aren't you
scared that this hard drive of yours will fall into the wrong hands" and like
"yeah that's why I encrypt it because then a stray neutrino could wipe my
drive"
... would that be unethical, or would it be kinda sweet and give us a
perspective on what a single slice of the "fediverse" was like at a particular
time? And better question, would that be something worth automating because I
already did like 60% of that for my own posts, could probably just tweak it to

just because someone did something one way and it worked, doesn't mean you
have to do it that way again.
but you should have a reason why you aren't doing it that way.

@user-1646
I usually just repost it and say something like: [stolen from reddit] or
[stolen from one of my followers who didn't write any alt text]
that way if they ever come across your post they'll know what it feels like to
have a post stolen from them. Like how a blind person, happy to hear-read what
they originally posted, but aggrieved from the conversation by their lack of
alt-textual information, might feel stolen from if they happened across that
originally posted alt-textless post.
there are more blind people that use mastodon than queer people. At least,
that's what I once heard. Dunno if it's true.

Hmmmm, well, what if we psyopped the people into believing there were alien
invaders or extra-dimensional fae creatures or angels and demons or
"yeah we already tried that, religion doesn't scale perfectly either. And you
can't really manifest those sort of effects except in your prophets and select
few others, and that doesn't scale either because humanity wouldn't let it"
I see, can you tell me more about that? why and how did humanity arrest the
scaling of schizophrenia?
"well, for one thing it's debilitating and it sucks. For another, it's
different for every person so if you ask one they'll be like "the aliens have
blue skin" and the other will say "no they don't have skin at all they're made
out of energy" and the public says "HMMMM are you really sure you are
generating outmoded assumptions" and the dear reader said "*yeah we don't
really understand this part, most of us just glaze eyes over it and move on"
and that's not ideal"
... nuts, lost coherence, better try again tomorrow...

if you want to share a post without the "fedi algorithm" (as in, the machine
learning bots who scrape the open web) then share something that's simple and
benign but located close to your desired message. Include a symbol or
something for your followers that means "go here and poke around a bit, you'll
find what I'm pointing at"
alternatively, for a different effect, you can boost things that are saying
the words you want to say but in a different context. Like someone posts
something that says "wow so cool" in like a judgey way but you boost it in
response to something someone else said but like in a "dude that's radical"
kinda way
