If commercial cyberware became available, what organ/limb would you be willing to replace by a synthetic counterpart first?

#Cyberpunk

@mttaggart Counter-point: Looking for complexity likely will get you to believe conspiracy theories. To be consistent in the face of, huh, reality, these hypotheses need to be complicated, which is easily mistook for complexity.

Ironically, your simple call to embrace complexity defeats itself. I don't have an equally simple call to replace it with but I have a set guiding principles in order not to fall in the pitfall you described:
- Always be curious, especially of information going against your established opinions.
- Establish how much the information is based off of facts, rather than values. Differing on values is ok, differing on facts is not. This step is tricky because people with no scruples will not hesitate to use the language of facts to disguise propaganda.
- Admit that not knowing everything about something is ok. But there's still a threshold of knowledge needed to get a somewhat accurate picture.
- Always think about the people first. Systems are made out of people, so their well-being is paramount.

There are probably more, all of these were established after the fact, I didn't follow a specific philosophy.

Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates! Our travel plans were canceled at the last minute so we put the gifts beneath Sideshow Bob the Fern as a makeshift Christmas tree.

Quoting this post anonymously because I don’t want to be the one to burst their newly reformed bubble. However I believe the honeymoon’s almost over with Threads entering the space, regardless of their intentions. They’re just too massive of a player not to shift the power dynamics in their favor.

People have long been angry at Gargron for sucking most of the Fediverse attention towards Mastodon through no particular fault of their own, and I believe it’s about to change, and not necessarily for the better.

For fringe projects like #Friendica, it won’t change much though, we never were prominent in the space and Threads’ arrival will not change that. @heluecht ’s willing, we’ll start supporting the new API quirks Threads will inevitably put forth and leave the decision to interact with Threads or not to Friendica administrators and individual users.
