we've reached the "dont complain about AI because its hyperbolic and only drives people apart, morality isnt a binary!" part of the curve.

imagine resisting anything with even like 5% strength, imagine! if you are a supposedly a critic of this technology, however nuanced, it's on you to make cases and explain how we are going to use something for its benefits without succumbing to it's costs. and right now the cost is total alienation and dispossession in a fascist surveillance dystopia

new app i didnt hear about before, probably because its only alpha/beta level of features https://tryquiet.org/

p2p so no self-hosting required theoretically and no making different accounts on each new rocketchat server, "over tor" so something something privacy but who knows, slack-style experience with grouped channels per "server".

interested to see where this goes in the next years, wish it was ready today to leave discord

ICE agents getting absolutely swarmed and harassed on the street in Minneapolis until they flee!

@lain func_car is real, i knew it

@greytheearthling to be honest that sounds kinda nightmarish and very manual config-y. i would rather have a system that has portable user data/key based identity. though that would be an incredible refactor for the fediverse and maybe is actually impossible to do now that things are underway

too drunk (1 beers) for this train ride home 🤮

@HauntedOwlbear how do you find these sites hahaha! like i only knew a few programming ones where its real people blogging. i guess you gotta look through all the posts on review sites and find ones that seem like actual info and then remember to check them later when you need something

how do you go about finding general information now that helpful websites are filed with human and ai generated garbage?

i'm trying to find out if these cheap sunglasses i got can protect against UV or anything else sun+eye harmful even though they don't seem to be polarized. how do you search for this without getting 1000 websites that are just lists of other bits of general information?

like yeah i can read science wiki pages and sorta guess myself, but often the answers are both scientific and practical. like "yes but sunscreen on skin is way more important than eye safety"

lets fucking gooooo

spite driven development (attempted to use inkscape for 5 seconds)

fuck.. there was an article going around about the demise of indymedia, people talking about it relating to the threads+fediverse situation. can't find the damn link anywhere, can't remember enough info to find it.

:pet_earth: help me other users?

EDIT: found it lol

have to say after reading i don't really get it, its a lot of the same democracy / libertarian communist takes that i feel like i got away from some years ago. though im amenable to cool media projects in general, i think a good form is something more like unicorn riot than it is a virtual news paper.

@hakan_geijer do you have links about corsi-rosenthal boxes or other diy covid air filters? obviously i can make one by following short videos but i wouldn't know any common pitfalls and would like to read up on the science a bit

@mart0 @hakan_geijer thank you!

german apotheke bullshit!!! gate keeping assholes always try to give you eucalyptus oil instead of real drugs and then act indignant if you tell them no!!

cannot believe im considering going to a third place in one day just to get over the counter cold meds

@futurebird @FenTiger
well ive got good news and bad news

the bad news is i don't even remember where I ordered this from 2 years ago and that they were already a limited run back then

its my first time opening up a 'chat with a representative' interface on a site since the LLM apocalypse... lets see what the future holds

its funny that doing dev on linux still requires both curl into a root shell (hilariouly precarious security), but also manually copying pgp signatures and doing checksums (manually secured at a high level)

@anarchopunk_girl just like screaming, like its just a bunch of very angry screaming? and like blood red
