It could’ve been a random list of accounts with similar passwords

Yes, the companies that kowtow to the pedophile with the finger over the red button are upset about child protection.

Not if the Twits migrate in large enough numbers. They have already forced the hand of the mastodon devs tom implement twitter-like features. It’s only going to get worse.

3rd hint: their passwords are…

There is a difference between arguing and brigading. Whether it’s done by humans or bots doesn’t make much of a difference. If the narrative being spread is one dimensional, that’s toxic.

Dogpiling someone for having an AI avatar is going a little far.

Hot kinky forgejo has a new competitor!

Yes yes, not marketing at all. “It’s so powerful, only those worthy enough can wield it.” Make it so exclusive it seems illicit to acquire, that people will pay anything to join the club.

Is the fediverse just as toxic as twitter?

Why not monero?

I am that niche! Me, all alone 🦄

Another Orban term and he would’ve made it impossible to criticise the government safely. Watching documentaries about Russia, people there are afraid to criticise their supreme leaders and their friends. They will say stuff like “I won’t say anything that will bring me in trouble”.

The next election is going to be critical.

Hello @eff@mastodon.social 👋

The same reaction whenever I look at haskell. A “pure” language with an escape hatch that has a fancy name. Once you open the escape hatch, you can write entirely impure code in Haskell and never see a pure function in your life. So much for “pure”.

Copyright is a mistake. It shouldn’t exist.

Then a lot of proprietary code cannot be copyrighted 🤷 Honestly, if AI destroys copyright, it’s the best thing it can do.

And we have already seen how it can be uses against proprietary software: write specs, implement code that fulfills specs, 🎉, closed source is now opensource . Amazing.

There seems to be a correlation between doing productive things for fun and higher intelligence and education

Correlation does not mean causation. Many people do productive things because they can. And being productive is also very dependent on definition.

If you’re uneducated, unlucky enough to grow in a household where ideas aren’t valued and failure is mocked or success belittled, and of course poor, chances are great you will not do much in life. However, if you’re poor, surrounded by motivated individuals who thrive to be successful and push you to be educated, and they do what they van to get you into school, there’s a good chance you will succeed.

The biggest problems are lack of access to good education and opportunity. “High intelligence” is just an excuse to confuse success with intelligence and hard work. That’s not how our society works.

UBI would change opensource forever

I thought veracrypt was dead. Surprised to hear about it again.

They are: age gate. It’s their only response to everything. Raising kids right and parenting ain’t ever an option
