Who and what do you want to be? This is a matter of agency.
If I presented several potential futures for you, one where you made artwork, one where you solved scientific problems, one where you helped the less fortunate, and one where you leaned on a stimulation lever until you could do nothing else, which would you choose?
Agency is a thing that is grown and cultivated, but it is not possible in a system which is set up for failure. Who do we blame for the death of the rat against the lever?

The crucial relationship that hypercapitalists miss is that economies are not built on money itself, but on the very rats that they are killing.
The logical conclusion of their process is a few pampered rich guys (guys, not people, not children...guys.) plus a few virtual robots and physical robots, and nothing else. The rest is disposed of.

So, I am not interested in IQ scores. I am not interested in "genius". I am interested in helping people be able to be their best selves. We can't do that without giving people an environment where that's possible.
That's what matters to me. That's what gives me life.

There are people on that list of signatories that could match total current funding of fediverse projects w/o effecting their bank account in a noticeable way.

This begs the question:
What do they find so frustrating about the fediverse (Which would be far cheaper to fund and easier to influence), that they would forgo putting their efforts in the ActivityPub direction.
Is it simply that Bluesky is 10 times bigger and growing faster? An important factor, I have to admit.

Save an image (full direct copy) of your disk. (This may take a while.) That way you have some time later to work on the problem, perhaps with a recovery expert, without writing over "deleted" files that may still be sitting there like ghosts.

Has the virus moved into novel mutation territory? Or is it just that behavior is more lax?

We're sorry. We only want to talk about ActivityPub without context.

I would be fine with ads to support a platform. (Also fine with a monthly fee, so long as there is reasonable free access for those who can't.)
But only if the ads are vetted somehow. Most of what I see in most places is absolute junk, and some of it is toxic.

65 years ago, in a town that smells of rotten eggs & has no greenery of any kind, a premature baby boy was born to a teenage mother w/ recently broken bones, married to a sociopath who worked at a navy base 100's of miles from any water.That baby was me.
