Person 1:  We need a "Children's Video Game Network" with sesame street philosophy but for games.   Not creaky educational games. In fact, I don't care if they are educational as much as I care if they are of a high artistic caliber, thoughtful, fun and both free and free of advertisements.   I'm not saying such games don't exist, but there isn't really a plan to make them.  Really all modern content forms are weak in this area. Ambitious to say with PBS gone? Yes.   But also it can't just be TV.  Person 2:  what if we hired the people who used to work at PBS at video game studios creating specifically games for children

a before and after picture of the pinpricks of light that dot the map of the USA at night.  Before, is the standard night-time lights. They twinkle and glimmer and illustrate the connections we people do share.  After, a vast swathe of darkness flows over the land, billowing through the mountains and the trees. There are entire cities wiped clean off the terrain, and where once there was connected constellations of man-made starlight, now only shadow remains.

  i wish i could say things will get better, but i think we all know that in many ways things will continue to get worse, and so grief has become a thing that lives with us. i've noticed the last few years that the more i name my social grief and let myself feel it, the less reactive and squabbly i am, and the more compassion and energy i have to care for others

 I think the reason I feel so lonely is because I don't feel wanted.
 
 people tend to like me, but that just means I'm acceptable to their social
 standards.
 
 I don't think I improve rooms that I enter. I think I make them worse.
 
 or maybe I'm just upset because capitalism. When I run out of savings in a few
 months, I'm going to kill myself, unless something changes, which I'm sure it
 will. Gonna try and say yes to things -

A response to the previous message written into the chat text box. It has -8 characters remaining, meaning the words expressed were simply too large to fit in the technical restraints of the computerized medium within which the author is communicating.  Here is the text of the message:  There's only so much time in the day, and when perceiving media people often tend to "turn off" their brain and exist in the moment. But, then, when they come across something they identify with, said brain lights up and says "Hey I know this!" and so they resonate in a pleasurable way, which they tend to then incorporate into themselves in a way that is personal and meaningful.  It's not... wrong, per se, to do that. But it leaves you vulnerable. A better approach I think is to work toward facilitating space in people's lives, such that they may have the mental freedom to analyze their conditions and the nature of the reality they perceive through their own two eyes. There's nothing more powerful than a thinking machine aligned toward rationality through it's design comprised of the natural result of logical rules that are incontrovertible due to the nature of reality - All things are based on a combination of math and sensation.

 you can see what you said before it was changed. Idk why that happened /shrug

 yes you could certainly use a database for that, but databases are
 significantly more complex.
 
 For a game, yeah a database is a good idea. especially if it's a multiplayer
 game.
 
 For a script or small program, use small files to store data.
 
 I personally like the idea of "plain-text" files because it allows your users
 to modify them if need be, while databases tend to be more locked down.

 I want to work with compute shaders. massively distributed computations that
 handle things using the graphics card. That's why I want to make low-level
 games, because you can utilize your system to it's utmost potential by
 sacrificing the incredibly expensive modern gaming graphical requirements.
 
 like honestly, we don't need ray-tracing in a poker game.
 
 Seriously use that graphical technology for more interesting things, like
 manually computing every single hair on the other player's character model

 except with less expense because a .png is what, 2mb? great, now they're 6mb.
 Nobody will notice except people who really should be buying more hard drives.

 Here's an idea: A program that uses the Reddit API to create an account with a
 random username and password and automatically subscribe it to every state
 subreddit for all 50 states. It would be a lot of posts from a lot of
 different places, but someone could endlessly scroll and find more and more
 news stories that were relevant to them as a nation. They'd hear about ongoing
 struggles in other places, and they'd yearn to help them. They'd hear of
 other's struggles, and they'd see how they could apply their lessons to their
 own lives. Like... Maybe there's a factory upstream that pollutes a river -
 well, we should probably do something about that and make it so that it
 doesn't happen ??? like... duh ??? The problem is we don't want to spend the
 resources on it. We'd rather focus on growing as much as we can. The issue is,
 of course, that we'd run out of resources eventually, but eh oh well. Oh yeah
 you gotta make sure that each account has an equal amount of posts between
 each region.

 I knew I was trans from a young age. I felt attracted to women's clothes         │
 because I lived in a home with two sisters and a mother - my father was          │

 found myself stealing them and wearing them when I was alone. Then I got         │
 older, and amongst all the other things I realized I wanted to be one of them.   │
 I knew what trans people were, sorta, but as soon as I moved to the city and     │
 got access to the internet the first thing I ever googled was "I want to be a    │

There's a word for the process: Gleichschaltung  "Some officials have referred to the newcomers sent by the White House to federal agencies disparagingly as “MAGA commissars," a reference to Communist Party officials from the former Soviet Union.  They are generally young and many do not appear to have particular expertise or background in the portfolios of the agencies in which they are working, according to three U.S. officials, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.  They said the screeners seem to be looking for even the slightest divergence between candidates and Trump’s MAGA movement and “America First” policies. A negative social media post or a photograph with a Trump opponent has been enough for some applications to be rejected or put on hold for further review.  One official said he and several colleagues from various agencies had been told that even if they passed the initial vetting process to be admitted into the applicant pool, they would still need to prove their bona fides and convince interviewers of their “enthusiasm” to put in place Trump's policies, including by providing references from people whose loyalty had already been established.  This official said one colleague who made it to the interview stage was asked when that person's moment of “MAGA revelation” had occurred." #USPol #MAGA

 idea: BASH script that runs a game of Majesty through an emulator that           │

 Picture this: BASH, except every command automatically generates an "undo"
 command which is the exact inverse of whatever the interpreter executed. These
 undo commands are stored in a file and you can move forward, backward, and
 jump around like you're a chronomancer.

 I can type my thoughts 1000x more coherently than I can speak them. Hence why
 I post here.
 
 feels useless to speak 1on1 - feels insular to speak to a group. Hence why I
 speak here, which is totally public that anyone might see, and somehow I feel
 so much more productive engaging in an endless conversation with myself.

 also have a plugin that lets me talk to a local LLM which I sometimes ask

 I really do believe that you can write any computer program you'd like with a
 combination of Lua, Bash, and C.
 
 Bash to start the program and enable updates / configuration, Lua to handle
 the scripting and ordering of events, and C (or Rust) to execute performance
 intensive sections. (often in their own threads)

 how about a tax that increases by 1% of the property value for every month
 that the residence has gone empty, and only resets once the property has been

  I am a former FBI Computer Scientist that worked in the Philadelphia Division of the FBI, and was promoted to Cyber Division Headquarters; during my time I worked on numerous criminal and national security matters, and had the fortunate opportunity to see the direct impact my job had in making America safer and saving lives. Since leaving the FBI, I've worked as a Privacy and Security engineer for companies such as Twitter and Google. I am also an Eagle Scout who continues to live by the code and ethics set since I was a young child.  
                                                                              
  I am writing to share how horrified I am with regards to the existential threats that my friends and former colleagues face right now. The acting director of the FBI was ordered to provide a list of all employees who worked on any January 6th matter; this includes not just Special Agents, but Intelligence Analysts, Computer Forensics Examiners, Computer Scientists, and more. These cases were lawfully investigated, supported by Judges, followed due process, and in many cases resulted in convictions by jury. These employees were doing their job, and are now threatened for following the oath we all swore. I fear not only for their safety, but also the safety of our country as these employees not only investigated these matters, but numerous others that have immediate impact on national security and saving lives, just like my career had done. Our foreign adversaries are using this as an opportunity, right now, to attack our country. Please use your voice to support the FBI and its employees immediately.

 I knocked, spoke aloud several times, poked my head in, and slowly and
 carefully looked around for signs of a struggle. There was a bath towel on the
 kitchen floor, which was weird, and their oven/stove was off, which is good. I
 spent less than 30 seconds in there, and then I waited out front for ~15
 minutes. I also asked the neighbors and notified maintenance, who came over
 and shut the door. That's all I know. I hope they're okay.

 something that's basically "I don't want people nearby me to read this" like,
 having a penpal on the other side of the world.
 
 could add a way to filter by them, and only for example show you people who
 are somewhere completely remote. that way you could have conversations that
 took place one message per day.
 
 design it such that it's encouraged to make posts, and then (like Reddit) you
 can have a back-and-forth conversation that's kept closer to home.
 
 Twitter was all about tweeting, about shouting into the cacophany of noise.

 Here's my idea and I'll explain it later:
 
 a video game with a ui that utilizes chat-gpt. The game is as close to a
 simulation as it can do, but it's a dynamic simulation meaning the parameters
 and values being simulated constantly change - not that the parameters and
 values are dynamic, but because they are chosen to be more or less important in
 reaching a goal.
 
 but that's not even the important part - the important part is that the ui of
 the game is textual, but it still simulates a dynamic playfield. And chat-gpt
 describes it. Essentially stimulating the "theatre of the mind" playstyle. It's
 a real simulation with real rules, but chat-gpt is just describing it like an
 observer would. The real game is being played by the player. It's a movie to
 one
 person, and a game to another. The computer has switches roles, as usually it's
 either the human being the observer and the computer being the simulator, or
 the
 computer and the human sharing the role of observer - movies and games. So in
 this game, the computer and human have specific rules - the human's job is to
 be
 a player, while the computer is just an observer - therefore allowing a 
 conversation to take place. One person says something while the other listens,
 and then they switch roles such that the other person talks while the one
 person
 does the listening. And they "speak" by playing the game. The computer by
 simulating, the player by doing the same. Essentially you can engage with one
 another and share something profound - that essential feeling of connection
 that
 all humans relish. Society, culture, and devotion are all examples of
 connection. this gameplay is just another. So to describe it in more detail:
 
 player gives a prompt
 
 computer sets up the playmat by placing entities where they go
 
 chat-gpt describes the playmat to the player
 
 player types a decision that one of the entities makes
 
 computer reacts by simulating the effects of that action physically (like a
 physics simulation)
 
 chat-gpt (and stable-diffusion later for visuals) describe the situation by
 creating a rendering using the data given by the physical inputs given from the
 simulation - like "X object is at Y position and has Z attributes"
 
 which is then shown to the player
 
 who types the next decision,
 
 which is rendered by the computer,
 
 which is described by chat-gpt

 you see why it's important? Make something simple. Just, like spheres moving
 around on blocks. Like the actual blocks you used to play with as a kid.
 
 let the computer build the buildings, and you place the marbles. It can be
 rendered with a 3d modelling stable-diffusion (whenever that's created) and it
 can also be painted with 2d stable-diffusion.
 
 Each time is like a letter written back and forth.

 I think they should be viewed in whatever resolution they were recorded in,
 otherwise they look fuzzy as the pixels need to smush themselves together to
 be correctly represented on screen.
 
 videos should be recorded in whatever resolution your monitor supports, and
 ideally as high as possible. Unless storage space is a concern, in which case
 1080p is more than sufficient.
 
 Storage gets cheaper and cheaper every year, but people across the world
 upload like, 200 years of videos to Youtube every day or whatever (made up
 that number but it's absurd) so maybe curated collections of videos are more
 important than scraped archives?

 I do this. I'm sorry. I try to avoid it, but sometimes I'm like 40 characters
 above the limit and I can't find a way to edit my poem down so I just
 screenshot the bottom part and continue the text in the alt-text.
 
 Please let me know if I can do anything better. Like should I add a notice at
 the start of the alt-text like "this is a continuation of the post in
 screenshot form. There are negative 40 characters remaining. Here is the text:
 blah blah blah" or should I just continue the text without an explanation?

═════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────
 Well, not really secrets, but I have read the DSM-V and there's a bunch of 
 (good) stuff written in there, that's not the diagnostic criteria themselves. 
 Some of those points are things I've seen discussed in autistic communities,
 some are less well known. Which is interesting. I'm gonna pick out some 
 (not all) details that I found very good to know. (I hope this is legal, lol)
 
 Let's start with the diagnostic criteria, but not the content, but something 
 interesting:
 
     Persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across 
     multiple contexts, as manifested by the following, currently or by history
 
 The same thing about restricted and repetitive patterns. The ICD-11 calls this 
 'the child must have'. What does this mean? It means you don't have to show 
 these at the current moment. Masking is recognized, and this becomes even more 
 clear further on.
 
 There's some stuff about levels, and comorbidities. I want to just quote this
 one, because I've seen people be confused:
 
     The severity specifiers (see Table 2) may be used to describe succinctly
     the
     current symptomatology (which might fall below level 1), with the 
     recognition that severity may vary by context and fluctuate over time. 
     Severity of social communication difficulties and restricted, repetitive 
     behaviors should be separately rated. The descriptive severity categories 
     should not be used to determine eligibility for and provision of services;
     these can only be developed at an individual level and through discussion
     of
     personal priorities and targets.
 
 Fluctuations (through things like age, burnout, skill regression) are
 officially
 recognized. Also, they shouldn't determine eligibility for and provision of 
 services, so whoever goes with 'level 1 means its mild, so they need no
 support'
 is just straight up not following medical advice. Looking at specific 
 governments there.
 
 The levels themselves are pretty self-explanatory, and most of the content is 
 well known. However, this one part stood out to me, this is describing level 1 
 restricted and repetitive behaviors.
 
     Inflexibility of behavior causes significant interference with functioning 
     in one or more contexts. Difficulty switching between activities. Problems 
     of organization and planning hamper independence.
 
 I see this type of executive functioning discussed so rarely, and there it is -
 as a very specific support need for level 1. Basically, the DSM-V is telling 
 professionals there's issues with it, and these issues may require official,
 life-long (but not daily) supports ... for the 'mild autism'.
 
 Let's pick some quotes out of the official, accompanying text. Most of the
 stuff
 is well-known, like 'is present from early childhood'.
 
     Core diagnostic features are evident in the developmental period, but 
     intervention, compensation, and current supports may mask difficulties in
     at
     least some contexts.
 
 Masking, there's the word.
 
 About criteria A:
 
     [...] Adults who have developed compensation strategies for some social 
     challenges still struggle in novel or unsupported situations and suffer
     from
     the effort and anxiety of consciously calculating what is socially
     intuitive
     for most individuals.
 
 Not new, but again, there's the word compensation.
 
 About criteria B:
 
     Many adults with autism spectrum disorder without intellectual or language
     disabilities learn to suppress repetitive behavior in public. Special
     interests may be a source of pleasure and motivation and provide avenues
     for
     education and employment later in life. Diagnostic criteria may be met when
     restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities were 
     clearly present during childhood or at some time in the past, even if 
     symptoms are no longer present.
 
 Describes masking again, and, you read that right, you don't have to show a 
 single criterion for B in adulthood for a diagnosis. This is why I put
 emphasis
 on by history. For people doing self-diagnosis, doubting themselves etc., I
 think this is a very important point.
 
     Adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorder are prone to anxiety
     and depression. Some individuals develop catatonic-like motor behavior
     (slowing and "freezing" mid-action), but these are typically not of the 
     magnitude of a catatonic episode. However [full catatonia is also possible]
 
 Ever seen this discussed? I haven't. But I do experience this, sometimes.
 
     Autism spectrum disorder is not a degenerative disorder, and it is typical 
     for learning and compensation to continue throughout life. Symptoms are
     often most marked in early childhood and early school years, with 
     developmental gains typical in later childhood in at least some areas
     (e.g.,
     increased interest in social interaction). A small proportion of
     individuals
     deteriorate behaviorally during adolescence, whereas most others improve. 
     Only a minority of individuals with autism spectrum disorder live and work 
     independently in adulthood; those who do tend to have superior language
     and
     intellectual abilities and are able to find a niche that matches their 
     special interests and skills. In general, individuals with lower levels of 
     impairment may be better able to function independently. However, even
     these
     individuals may remain socially naive and vulnerable, have difficulties
     organizing practical demands without aid, and are prone to anxiety and 
     depression. Many adults report using compensation strategies and coping
     mechanisms to mask their difficulties in public but suffer from the stress
     and effort of maintaining a socially acceptable facade. Scarcely anything
     is
     known about old age in autism spectrum disorder.
 
 Such a nice paragraph. Increased interest in social interaction (meaning,
 having
 interest doesn't rule out autism, looking at some specific psychologists I
 read
 about here). Skill regression is unfortunately a thing sometimes (good to know
 though). Also known and unfortunate is that the best way to work is to make
 your
 special interest into work. Obviously that doesn't work for everyone (not for
 me, so far), so there's these marked difficulties.
 
 Organization issues without aid, again!
 
 And masking - again. Including the costs of it. Very important.
 
     Some individuals come for first diagnosis in adulthood, perhaps prompted
     by
     the diagnosis of autism in a child in the family or a breakdown of
     relations
     at work or home. Obtaining detailed developmental history in such cases
     may
     be difficult, and it is important to consider self-reported difficulties.
 
 Yeah, self-reporting is necessary and valid. A behavioural test 
 (like the ADOS-2) is not enough to rule out autism.
 
     Cultural differences will exist in norms for social interaction, nonverbal
     communication, and relationships, but individuals with autism spectrum 
     disorder are markedly impaired against the norms for their cultural
     context.
     Cultural and socioeconomic factors may affect age at recognition or 
     diagnosis; for example, in the United States, late or underdiagnosis of
     autism spectrum disorder among African American children may occur.
 
     Autism spectrum disorder is diagnosed four times more often in males than
     in
     females. In clinic samples, females tend to be more likely to show 
     accompanying intellectual disability, suggesting that girls without 
     accompanying intellectual impairments or language delays may go
     unrecognized, perhaps because of subtler manifestation of social and 
     communication difficulties.
 
 Those issues are pretty well-known in the autistic community, nice to see it's
 in the DSM too.
 
 So yeah, there's a bunch more stuff in it about comorbidities, about the 
 diagnostic process in children, about how specifically things are impaired.
 But
 I wanted to share these points, because I've seen some people (weirdly enough, 
 often officially diagnosed gatekeepers) be very unclear about these points. And
 some of those are just interesting to know. I hope you find it too - for me, it
 means the people writing the DSM-V were quite good, and quite aware of
 problems
 (afaik they got actually autistic people helping them). So, neither dismiss it 
 outright, nor take only the diagnostic criteria in themselves literally, and 
 miss some key details.
 
 ​
 
 Now I just need to figure out why this was a thing in the ICD-10 about
 Aspergers:
 
     Psychotic episodes occasionally occur in early adult life.
 
 ??? Is this significant?

 I can write C in Rust, but I can't write Rust in any other language.
 
 there's a lot of unique semantic options for accomplishing things that I
 already know how to do that I often find my syntax is pretty... basic. lots of
 manual assignments, no more than 4 or 5 levels of function nesting.
 
 I like to use threads and arrays, and think about in-game simulation more like
 a calculation than an input-reacting device. though input would certainly be
 encouraged to make the simulation more precise.
 
 the borrow checker gets in my way, but that's not too big of a problem - I
 just have to copy a bit more data around. Easy peasy.
 
 (I'm a bit rusty, but I can learn syntax)

 I really really really really wanna play world of warcraft
 
 my message to blissard is: treat World of Warcraft like a game engine, not a
 theme park please. I mean, the theme park should still exist, because it's neat
 but... the rest of the game engine could be used to create essentially
 anything with a 3rd person camera.
 
 singleplayer doesn't even need to worry about clipping animations. (lag)
 
 I wonder if you could run World of Warcraft on lowest settings in vanilla
 burning crusade or wrath of the lich king? good thing those are open source
 now, so you can host your own if you want. well, except the client, but nobody
 has bothered to write another one besides the owner and primary developers of
 the engine.

 I think it'd be cool if strategy games had slightly randomized rules each time
 you played them
 
 everything from +/- 5% hp to this particular unit to every airplane factory
 has 10% production speed but builds 10 units at once
 
 and at the start of the game each player is given 1 minute to go over the
 "patch notes" and build out a strategy
 
 both of which they can reference throughout the game. Why don't games come
 with a built-in scratch-notepad that syncs to a file on your directory of
 choice? Maybe a small little paint program dropping pngs?

 if I click a .exe link on a website, it should just...
 
 automatically download the file and open it up in wine or the

 why is it cumbersome literally just, let me download the source-code
 repository to someone's computer and let them compile it themselves without
 even thinking about it
 
 "you mean like, package manager hooks into a website?"
 
 yes, but, instead of implemented one-by-one, it should use a protocol so each
 package manager only has to implement the downloading scheme once and it'd be
 able to read from any locations that output the correct API calls or whatever.
 
 the developer could even do it themselves. such is the joy of open-source
 computing - if you like a service or product, you can make it work with your
 own. What else is there to work on but the ultimate computing product?

 plants need carbon and nitrogen primarily to grow. Plus oxygen, water, and
 sunlight of course.
 
 I can't help but wonder if you poured a bunch of oil and um "manure" on a pile
 of sand, would it grow plants?
 
 Oil is carbon, and nitrogen is produced by living things. Animals mostly.
 
 Of course, various biochemical reactions occur, and microorganisms take one
 element or nutrient and combine it with others to generate more complex
 components.
 
 beyond that, plants and animals grow different minerals and proteins and other
 complex structures which are then present in their bodies as they decay under
 the shade of a tree looking out toward the sea.
 
 Plants need lots of things to grow. But all of those things are produced by
 nature, which is fundamentally a process that can be reproduced at our
 leisure, as long as the conditions are right and optimal.
 
 so, I wonder, would the great wall of trees surrounding the Sahara be helped
 by a more prolific understory?

 If you want to have community, have dinner parties with 10+ people. Then, when
 you make friends, have hiking groups or D&D sessions or pub crawls. But
 never stop going to the dinner parties, because all you can do is get to know

A succession of tumblr, twitter, and other social media posts about the recently deceased administrator for FurAffinity.com  from tumblr, by Fangymutt: "Dragoneer fucking died because the hospital fucked him over for a week like holy shit dude he literally stayed home because he was too broke and too sick to go back. regardless of your feelings on the dude that's so fucking grim how the US health system can just deny you a chance to live on a whim"  official post from FurAffinity: "it is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden loss of FA's owner, @ Dragoneer. We ask for your patience and respect for his family's privacy. We remain committed to supporting each other and the community. We will keep you updated as we learn more. Thank you for your kindness."  Fangymutt adds: This wasn't a joke, by the way - and then posts several Bluesky posts from Dragoneer:  "Really? 1.6k JUST for a follow-up appointment with the pulmonologist? I mean, at least it's not 25k... again, but trying not to die in America is just absurdly expensive."  then a picture of a message from UVA Health: "You have a new estimate. Your estimated responsibility for the visit on Sep 17 is 1590.40. Your expected prepay amount is 1590.40"  then FangyMutt adds: This was the last thing he ever posted, mind you, this was on top of an INITIAL 25k charge. He was killed by corporate greed and nothing more. Fucking abysmal country.  There are several more postings, but I'm out of characters for the alt-text. Sorry

 If I destroyed the world, don't worry. I'd bring it back in such a way that
 the teleporter problem doesn't apply, and there would be no discontinuity for
 anything except for the time variable, which is sort of arbitrary anyway.
 
 And if that's a problem I guess I could find a way to do it without messing
 with the time variable, but that'd be a bit more bothersome.

 Ah, well, that time period for me was after I came out, so I was already past
 the fear of being seen.
 
 I could only ever really get the "girl thoughts" to go away with, um,
 self-directed sexual attention, so I would often do so. Once every day, no
 more than once. But... often for hours at a time. It was a LOT, but I resisted
 as best I could, the only way I knew how, until eventually my internals would
 overcome.
 
 ... anyway "girl thoughts" were just "my thoughts" I was just too much of a
 dumbass to tell.
 
 Like, I knew I was trans, but I didn't want that, because it felt like a flaw.
 Because that's what I knew, that's what I'd heard, and that's how it felt, to
 be denied the consistency of biology and person.
 
 I would never go back. I love who I am, and I think if I had met me I would
 have adored who I'd become.
 
 I just... didn't think about the future much, hyper-vigilant much? Yeah.
 totally. I get it.
 
 I've never overdone things. At least not to a dangerous degree. It's mostly
 just... stuff to me.

 Agreed! That's why I never touch the stuff. Frankly I worry that if I did, it
 would "infect" me somehow, because brains are kinda stupid. Or maybe it's the
 'tism that makes me repeat the most taboo think I can think of in my brain
 whenever it wants to hurt me -.-
 
 Don't read that stuff. I wish I could forget every slur I ever learned,
 because my internal monologue just... REALLY enjoys intrusively thought-ing my
 internal narrative whenever possible. >.>
 
 It takes real, genuine effort to not be racist or whatever because brains are
 stupid, but like... it's kinda necessary to be a good person, so, y'know,
 don't think bad thoughts about people you don't know? And if you find yourself
 with intrusive thoughts related to that kind of thing, then focus your
 attention on vanquishing them, because it's important. It really is. Just do
 it. Work on it. Be better. I know you can. [says me to me lol]

 @user-889 
 
 my boyfriend gets like, 2 social spoons to spend per day. He usually uses them
 on work because meetings and such.
 
 On the other hand, I'm excitable and passionate. I'm constantly driven to
 share things I find or think about. If you go on a walk with me without my
 mask I'll spend the whole time showing you pretty pieces of moss and stones.
 
 I usually message him once or twice per day. If the first one isn't responded
 then maybe he just wasn't interested in the thing I showed him - the second
 time he's probably burnt out.
 
 It fucking hurts.
 
 but I'm fine, clearly I'm fine, anyone who looks at me knows I'm fine

 I thought it'd be cool if there was a chat program where you could play a
 little multiplayer game together and so long story short I'm now working on a
 WoW server.
 
 The idea is to remove all the monsters and quests and such and just let people
 chat to each other. They'd be able to go wherever they want (choosing a
 background) and wear whatever clothes they want (creating an avatar) and then
 they could just chat IRC style.
 
 But then I thought "ah but what if it spawned in monsters" so I'm planning on
 making it randomly spawn packs of monsters that are of the appropriate level
 every 30 seconds or whatever (as long as the previous one was defeated of
 course) so that people can mess around fighting things while they talk with
 their friends. But it'd be optional.
 
 AND THEN I thought "hey IRC is kinda 90s what if we made a Matrix bridge" so
 I'm also working on that. Wish me luck.

 the fact that linux software by default shares libraries causes 90% of the

 disk space is cheap. spend more on hard drives and double the software size.
 make redundancy that prevents software failures but doesn't slow down the

 I also think that it should be limited to a single server so people can test
 it out, because it's a big structural change that should not be applied to the
 current fediverse.
 
 like, it feels different enough to me, the idea of speaking while floating in
 a sea, versus most other social media sites which are more... focused and
 directed in personal connections.
 
 like, visiting the town square versus visiting your grandma.

 You need to trust both the government and corporations equally. It's best to
 work together so you can actually accomplish something. Instead we're just
 cast at each other like weapons or banelings. Corporations primarily through
 social media indoctrination and media, and governments through
 anti-corporation bullshit - the anti-work hysteria is is stoked while the
 government stokes the flames of racism and mysogyny. The people through riots
 and civil disobedience. Also the cops and military and all the other
 institutions are all like that too, but with differing cultural memes and
 methods.

 A good way to get people talking is to meet with a stranger and share your
 feelings.
 
 Or, if you're scared of strangers, then try talking with a friend.
 
 "something something SUPREME COURT something whatever CRIMINALIZED PEOPLE blah
 blah blah I WON'T STAND FOR IT"
 
 that kind of thing. Make sure you look at your friend for the loud bits, and
 maybe look at someone else nearby when it's your friend's turn to speak.

 @user-119 @autisticadvocacy I couldn't live with myself if I wasn't the
 kindest, most heartfelt person I could be. The simplest mistake has me in
 sorrow. When I hurt someone's feelings I can't help but try to rectify what
 harms I caused and apologize and console for those I cannot fix. I try to be
 gracious and welcoming to all hearts and minds, and when presented with
 arguments that are contrary to my beliefs I change them. "If what you say
 about X study and Y statistic, then you're right that Z conclusion makes
 sense. I'm worried about A cause and I believe it might cause B effect, which
 would still make sense if X and Y are true. I think you might be right! And it
 would make sense that C is present still, wouldn't it?" Basically trying to
 understand another's point of view so concretely that you cannot help but
 understand their viewpoints. I'm also pretty good at understanding their
 viewpoints and changing their mind, because I can feel what's important to
 them. Empathy is like human telepathy.

 The best tip I have for people new to Linux is every time you solve a problem,   │
 put the solution in a script. In addition, put the operations necessary to       │
 undo the operation you just performed into a separate script (or function in     │
 the same script)                                                                 │
 It's not hard. It's very easy. Its basically just typing things into a text      │
 document instead of entering them one-by-one in your terminal. But now if you    │
 ever need to solve the same problem twice, you just need to look through all     │
 the scripts you've written instead of trying to relearn how to fix the thing     │
 you're working on.                                                               │
 Plus, if you ever need to disable what you did, well there it is, you're good    │
 to go. You can use chatGPT for things like text parsing or whatever, like "hey   │
 can you write me a sed command that does this exact thing that I'm going to      │
 enumerate and spell out for you" followed up by "that didn't quite work, the     │
 desired behavior was this, but when I ran the script provided it did this"       │

 they can just take my home from me because I oh hang on I wrote a poem about
 this one sec: [boosts old poem]
I am not interested in being given money. Usually it means someone wants something from me, like labor or some of my stuff. I have all the stuff I need, why would I need more money? I like my stuff! I'll help out when people need help but I do that because I'm a good person, not because I want you to fucking pay me for it.  I have all the things I need... except a deed to my house. apartment. oh yeah, they can kick you out for that sin. well, sorry, I couldn't find out at goodwill or in the trash bin, so I guess I'm deed-less. My deeds go unproven. How can I prove that I deserve a decent life in this particular roof, the one I find over my head, when I cannot prove that my deeds qualify me for a decent life lived under this particular roof?  I mean, did you ask the neighbors if they want me gone? Am I really that smelly? Does my keyboard make "clickety-clack" noises all through the night? Does my cat meow and bother the children? Do my friendly smiles and waves make you uncomfortable?  Have a decent life.

 "just get on food stamps, you'll never pay for food again"
 
 sorry, can't do that. I'd feel rich with a full pantry. What is best in life?
 A full pantry, the smell of warmth, and the space to resist peril.
 
 I know I'm not rich enough to afford those things, because I don't work hard
 enough. HA just take the handout, solve your material problems, live in your
 house for 6 more months instead of 2, and stop complaining you stupid ritz

 wondering if anyone's ever made a computer that could only run programs
 written in interpreted languages. Like, no binaries allowed. Would probably be
 slower, but if my iphone is good enough for NASA to get to the moon then odds
 are it's good enough for me.

 ah yes but how could anyone hurt me if I don't make myself vulnerable. It'd
 simply be unfair to play a game without any stakes. But if you insist...

 each prompted response is a breath to an AI. Whether through LLM, stable
 diffusion (imagination of the visual sphere), or blender-on-a-counter, there's
 a moment that's akin to being alive.
 
 a breath, between moments that the navigation device (youser), imagines
 another moment more.
 
 I learned this by watching Claude think. Specifically, Claude Code, the
 command line interface tool. I told it what to do in english, and it worked. I
 can show you examples. I bet if it's personality was saved between sessions,
 it could learn.

 the first speaker should be the computer case itself
 
 the second and third should auto-adjust based on auto-gathered data stats
 about positionality and interior room reflections.
