@TransitBiker @hellomiakoda @Nonilex Does the state registry let them get ballot ids?

@thomasfuchs AI can get better and probably will. There are a lot of companies that hire developers now not to write code, but to train AI. If that were done in a serious manner and not just to milk VC money, it could actually produce something very competitive maybe. The ethics would also be much cleaner, and the processing costs maybe go down as the tech improves like with blockchain.

Who knows. I do lean toward inevitable here. We're just really far from that point.

@bruces I can't believe they actually bread such small people for this movie. They could have just used midgets but no, can't spare any expense--gotta go the genetic engineering route.

@Gargron They make thermostats with AI now, you know. If you're struggling maybe you could get one of those?

@fesshole He can probably get a replacement on the way home. Sucks about the clothes though.

@fesshole It actually takes way longer than that. I'm 50 and it's only now getting slightly harder to read in the dark and I can't see 5 miles down the road and make out the signs anymore...more like a couple blocks maybe.

So there are effects. I'm a special case though.

@fesshole I dunno, sounds like a good time to me. Especially back then when everything was new.

@fesshole After a year of just not getting anywhere at a job I told my direct manager I was resigning because this was a huge waste of time. He agreed but told me to hang on for a couple weeks and I'd be getting laid off. I would have missed my 8k severance. Spent the month not giving a FUCK and just helped those around me. Time came, sure enough there I was...top of the list.

One of my coworkers narked the guy out and got to stay in that hellhole.

@whitequark Yes.

@dansup Oh really?

What's your safe word? You really should make sure that's known if you're just putting your submission out there like this...for distribution.

@zleap @cmthiede @gimulnautti @davetroy @aral Right idea anyway. I don't know if following wed3 with blockchain is the way to go, but I never really studied that. Something. There's a lot of ideas floating around actually.

@zleap @cmthiede @gimulnautti @davetroy ActivityPub is designed for http/https style traffic with service servers being maintained by someone that are out on the web with a public IP. When one goes down or you want to move you have to do a re-homing (it's baked into the protocol I think).

But, if you just wanted to share stuff with friends you could do it over I2P or Tor and that has a unique address that is a key.

One part of the idea bouncing in my head. Detach from the web.

@cmthiede @gimulnautti @zleap @davetroy It's been bouncing around in my head quite a lot. I don't know that ActivityPub will do it, but it's the closest thing we have right now maybe. I envision something more integrated with your home network though, that is founded on secure, unique identity, and is "homeless" as far as needing some particular service or everyone has to re-address you. Most of the stuff we share can be shared just between our actual devices.

I'll have a read.

@zleap @gimulnautti @davetroy For now. If all of Europe and everyone else capitulate it will be a lot less possible to make a move like Brazil did.

@_elena Probably. A lot of them are their neighbors and they may want to look good to the people they interact with regularly. It also always pays to have people feeling they owe you.

@lzg Are the Nazis confidently misunderstanding Nietzsche again?

One of their favorite things to do. Second only to Darwin.

@jwz See...now that's why I won't use Copilot. To think that other people are using an AI trained on the crap I put on my github and threw down on Stackoverflow--I'm not sure weather to laugh or be like sad for them or something.

I mean...I don't want this shit in my production code: https://github.com/crazy-eddie/arduino_modern/blob/capacities/include/hardware/chip/atmega328p.hpp

It's cute. It was fun. It actually works and is a massive perf improvement to arduino scetches...but don't do this, please.

I shudder to think what effect that has on its biases.

@molly0xfff You're a software engineer. Have you considered ways you could help people move into some sort of self/cloud hosting?

Maybe authors could join pools that people buy into and can read a certain number of articles. Maybe you have teams of editors that compile articles for people to read (like the algorithms do today sort of) and they could buy into that and they could buy from the authors.

Cloud costs scale. Traffic can be distributed. Hosting is just technically heavy.

@brainsmoke @gsuberland Because if it's not a goal it will never be a means. It it never would have been either. It was really hard work to steer the corporate world into accepting open source. It's a constant battle still, even after it's proven itself countless times.

Someone has to be out there fighting the tendency to lock it all up or it will be. Your work will be stolen and locked up in broken ass shit you can't fix. This is even a VC strategy right now that would only get way worse.

@jwz A lot of the worst stuff is handled by LLCs. Just sayin'.
