"what percentage of your setup is cabling"

"like, by weight, by volume, or by attention?"

3. ppl already brought webrings back; now where is the ethical, egalitarian, consent-based advertisement cooperative, which explicitly *asks* users what sort of commercial communications would be *helpful for them* to see, transparently distributes ad revenue to website authors, and resists being subverted by necrocapital? i dunno. that'd be work

@Kroc @kkarhan

1. sv/vc/yc/etc is a black hole for human *meaning*. imo we don't need to just build alternatives; we need to be *actively discouraging* people from remaining in abuse-based online spaces, in a way they can't filter out

2. $1000 of resource at 10% efficiency of utilization, is same thing as $10 at 100% efficiency. we need to be building successful online businesses proudly based on classic web principles, and using that to countermand bloated, user-hostile megaplatforms

@prettygood well, you've fashioned yourself a chunk of exocortex that can emit 1st person language, then you've emitted language designating it as separate from your self. ain't it exactly that

i don't know much about plurality - iiuc last century it was considered trauma-induced, turn of the century kids did tulpamancy, today it's probably big tech thinking it's a way to make more workers without fuckin'. but the markov approach sounds like a good way of making more marbles. scaling up, not in

whether it's "we" or "1984" or "brave new world", one of those booksy books about the horrors of replacing the ineffable sOmEtHiNg of "human nature" with the cold "rationality" of their contemporary modernist politics ...

it seems the deeper we go into the torment nexus, the happier everyone is

i mean, no surprise there, "happiness" is a quale invented by mcdonalds' ad men

but what the fuck were the authors smoking. have they just been reverse-psyched by the idelogies of their time?

@prettygood @wnd

to me the point of philosophy is to make elaborate jokes

what if the "enlightenment" pre-modern traditions aspired to is just the post-18th century state of mind; same one freud deconstructed - supposedly for debugging people who had become terminally self-reflective; probably just as much as rationalistic exegesis of unconsciously christian normative essentialism of the psyche

this touches on many disciplines but only through philosophy can one touch them all irreverently

@prettygood @wnd

i've asked this question myself lately, like wtf philosophy even is, and the part that's been most useful to me has been the epistemics. thankfully ideologists don't reach into that one by definition.

like how do you truly know when something is bullshit? conversely, how do you recognize when you're unable to recognize something? there's some underlying principle to these entirely subjective things - cognitive neuroscience could only study that kind of thing in the 3rd person

#http response codes if the #iana engineer was trying to get the #cat off the #keyboard while designing the protocol.

doubles as #blink codes if you've found yourself in a responding to http requests while under duress type of situation:

HTTP 0 - no reaction.
HTTP 0.5 - reaction, no information.
HTTP 1 - don't do that.
HTTP 2 - acknowledged.
HTTP 3 - see other.
HTTP 4 - inconceivable.
HTTP 5 - sEnPaI~~~

#handychart

even got some cool art out of the deal - took the piece of cloth that i used to absorb the bulk of the paint and printed some textures onto some small objects

thankfully the can was near empty. with the kind of ventilation people live with round here, a full one would've probably stank up the whole building for days

whewww am i dumb or yes 🤦

just finished wrestling a spray can that unexpectedly started spewing silver paint all over the place. hadn't seen that failure mode before - probably built up pressure from sitting near the aircon. warning's there for a reason #fafo

emotional regulation success: i only felt like a total failure for about a minute before i got the situation under control and confined the paint damage to the bathroom, where a generous serving of #acetone should fix shit right up 🩶

this shit aint nothing to me, man. taking a cozy nap among the toxic fumes? whaddayaknow, i aint seen a non-toxic environment in my life. doesn't mean i got moral high ground or anything.

besides the accidental art, apparently there's also the accidental huffing paint thinner. very 90s. at least nothing exploded.

this will continue either until morale improves or enough fresh air enters the room through the tiny fucking window for my asleep/awake balance to shift to either extreme.

i can see what people must like about that breathable bronze, though. some negative emotional material is bubbling up but i am overall indifferent to it.

@kaia holy fuck it's our national sport! 🤯 🇧🇬 🤯 🇧🇬 🤯 🇧🇬

@shibao not until you've inhaled the requisite quantity of lead fumes!

@kaia @kaiaskinoklub @mangeurdenuage each is like 3 mins

@kaia imagine this but actually accomplishing something meaningful

@lanodan @kaia maybe someone could make us a shell acc on a cubesat if we asked nicely 🤔 "fedi plays satellite"
