   Other days, Singapore Chinese exceptionalism just pisses me off so much I want absolutely nothing to do with it. It pissed me off when I was there, and it annoys me even more from a distance once I’m detached from it.

   In that society, there was absolutely no room for a queer autistic person. Never was, never will be. (People will swear up and down that it’s changing but it’s still deeply steeped in ableism) No amount of my privilege could have shielded me from it.

   Is this place much better? I won’t go as far as to claim it. But I’m thankful to have space to just.. exist. That feels fraught right now, but for what it’s worth I also feel I have the capacity and ability to define the life I want, here.

   @evan @Maj@pixelfed.social Yes, but 1. do people really have to do their own math to get that? it's nowhere in the UI... and 2. it wasn't showing up in search before but now see it.

   Is this what folks are doing? Create a pixelfed account and then follow yourself here and bost your own photo posts? Or am I missing a smarter way?

   If you thought the publishing industry trying to take down the Internet Archive was bad, and now you're watching Elon Musk attacking Wikipedia:

   Billionaires are why we can't have anything nice.

   Even when we do it ourselves, we can't have it. If it helps us learn, understand, think, reason, or argue, they don't want that for us.

   They will kill it.

   It'd be so terribly unfortunate if the first year of Trump's second presidential term was marked by the implosion of the biggest tech industry bubble since cryptocurrencies leading to a stock mrket crash, the collapse of the commercial property market leading to a bank run, Musk-led deregulation of cryptocurrencies leading only to rampant fraud a la Sam Bankman-Fried, and simultaneous trade wars with Europe AND China destabilizing the US dollar, wouldn't it.

   Is this too much to ask for, 2025?

   Melon Husk has made *so* many illogical leaps here. The most obvious one being that simulated computer game characters will one day be capable of experiencing themselves subjectively. Because otherwise there's nowhere else we could be, but "base reality", as he puts it.

   Is computer science going to achieve that? It seems unlikely, mainly because there are good reasons to think it might be philosophically impossible. Let's unpack this a bit.
