One of the local chapters of one of the big protest groups right now decided to move their email list to substack. I actually offered to, for free, set up some sort of alternative for them that gets them what they need.
Instead of taking me up on it or even responding at all, one of the last things they post before we're having to sign up with substack to get updates is that lots of progressives use substack.
So yeah, I left.

More to the point I believe one was already there, like one of our most secret of secret places where the really serious stuff goes down when shit hits the fan everywhere.

AI results are statistical. The value of the clock can change what you get out of it as an answer.
I believe it also tracks context between sessions and probably evaluates your repeated question as a negative evaluation of its previous response, so it's altered weights to achieve a different outcome. It's goal is to simply get you to accept its response and stop asking. That's the "right" answer from its perspective.

That's fine really. You're not trying to hide the fact that you sent email from proton or anything. You're not using this key for anything else. It really does nothing more than provide E2EE for this email. So for compatibility you actually do rather want that to be published in the standard openpgp way so that it's compatible with other email clients and such.
I guess it would be nice if they gave me an opt out. This is just an alt to gmail though. No CIA shit.

If you just don't want to see it then that's what mute is for. It's possible to provide that feature without it being public and it apparently does that in bluesky.
Mastodon does the very same thing. Mute is just for you. Block also informs the user and won't let them see what you post. This is at least partially public because servers have to know to do this for you. If you are on an openly federating server then you are probably exposed here.
Were you properly informed?

I mean...
It's not.
What you post to your PDS is public. The updates to it go to the "firehose", which is this public stream of updates. App views then take that information and filter it and crap. There's some other stuff going on here but this is pretty much it.
So your block list is a request to these views to not show your public posts to certain people.
If you are expecting more than that you are quite mistaken.

Instead of deciding that money is useless or evil you might consider alternative methods of wealth distribution that aren't purely exploitative.
It's not like "money is the root of all evil" is an uncommon belief in our society. If you are going to reconsider all assumptions you might put that one on the list also. Maybe it's actually sacred.

Yeah, like a couple thousand with very short, hard lives where nobody could really hope for anything more than simple survival while they watch everyone they love suffer horrible deaths.

Got me emotionally bound to her son and then started teaching him to bully me too.

I've found that bullies can be pretty manipulative. They can trap you into responding and then looking, or perhaps even being the bad guy and people come to their defense. Like to live rent free in your mind.
Often the best option is to just let them rot in their own disease. All responses to them should be focused on that goal--to render them inert enough that you can just walk away and leave them to rot, preferably in a very conscious way. Anyone that stays can stay.

I was curious. "The classical description of the physical characteristic of tumtum says they have a membrane of skin hiding female or male genitals."

There's debate over whether such a person is legally required to have transition surgery into something else. They're not allowed to be fathers until they do, whether it is physically possible or not.
Interesting read. Judaism should say sorry to tumtums.

Not sure you should be trying not to scare them. I wouldn't be fear mongery, but this is their world. They need to know what those fast bits are costing them. They'll probably chose the fast bits anyway, but they deserve to know the cost before hand if possible.

You could design a certification program around this using verifiable credentials (https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model-2.0/) that would allow you to give them something you've signed and contains stuff like maybe a link to an interview video or something that they can display as an emote or something--probably best if the video is embedded in the cert in case you get shut down and there's no place to put it.

Idea popped into my head: You have an app on your phone. The wifi and cell signals go dead and you're in the middle of a protest. You do that, you look around and, "Dude, your phone working?"

They are actually just radios so you can send any sort of signal, but they are built for bluetooth so that's sort of their "native". Some also do regular wifi and then you just have to know like the id or something.

Any fly tying people on here? I used to a long while back and looking to start up again.

I wish. Little bits here and there but I just can't make myself actually eat.

I haven't eaten in like a week and a half.

There's a video somewhere of the jackhole they dragged out of the manosphere vlog space to run some large part of the military (not Hegseth) or something saying all that is important is power. And then he just keeps saying power with his fist.
I hope someone can find. I'd love to add to my collection. I haven't been able to because I forgot his name (I don't actually care).

They also see us, the US citizenry, the same way. "The parasite class."
If you need any sort of anything from the government, beyond absolutely free infrastructure you don't have to even pay taxes on (while you also parade around terms like TAANSNAFL or whatever), they loath you. Even if it's your fucking money on loan!!!
So don't feel bad, Europe. They hate us also. This is all about the needs of like 10 people and not all are American.

Trump needs a "full throated" apology from Main's governor for him to stop his investigations.
So we've gotten to the point where the President of the United States has told a female governor that she has to suck his dick or he'll weaponize the federal government against her and her people.
"Ooooh say can you seee....." 🇺🇸

"There were witty signs and really nice people."
I don't want to like...discourage anyone. I think that it's a wonderful thing. "Witty signs and really nice people."
I just wish it didn't feel so impotent.
I don't even know what we want to have happen to be honest. What solves this? What action can be taken?
I'm lost.

Be careful not to swamp services just piling on to popular data sources.

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.

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.

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.

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

Most Americans think they are centrist or maybe even a little left when in fact they're really far to the right.

I like the little shot of dopamine dragging a ticket into "done" does.
"Another one bites the dust... HEEEYEYEYEY"
Aww...a bunch of other stuff broke? Make a ticket!

It's a little known fact that if you build your 3d printer with Linux it will print actually live penguins.

I'm not sure why this and the Evil Bit never took off. Seems way easier than this stupid arms race we're in with malicious software developers.
