Can you elaborate on what “subpoenable information” means. Like I have a vague idea but im not super clear if thats like a legal term with special considerations or whatever. Elaboration would be helpful.

Alcohol, I just dont like the taste

I smoke weed occasionally but even that I have been trying to cut out cus I abused it for years

Not being able to talk about capitalism in a tech community is like having a fishing community and not being able to talk about how the waters got shit in it.

I could probably say the same about AI and crypto and mega yachts sure

But healthcare, housing, education, childcare, sustainable green energy, sustainable food production… All of them seem way more important than sending more junk into orbit.

Seriously how are space launches a priority right now when we are facing global ecological collapse

They are connected but in practice there is definitely a big separation between lemmy and mastodon… you see mastodon posts on mastodon, lemmy posts on lemmy. yes its possible to view lemmy posts on mastodon but its fucking garbage integration, i have never seen a lemmy posts boosted on mastodon it just doesn’t happen… if I see a mastodon post here its in the form of a screen shot… the communities are effectively separate

Mastodon is pretty great for queer people. Better than lemmy I would say (and obviously better than the mainstream apps) …

Thats a technical issue that likely can be solved. I doubt some feedback loop of training data will be the downfall of AI… The way to stop it is to refuse to use it( lets be real the regulators arnt gana do shit)

I’m domicile and I will not be harassed

Thank you, I have been saying the same thing about the books for a while now. They are incredibly misogynistic and the characters are pretty badly written. And yet I still keep seeing them recommended. They remind me of the old scifi novels like Niven and shit where its just a few cool scifi concepts and then a heaping load of sexism.

I listened to them on audiobook, most books I read more than once, don’t plan on going back to them though. A good series I recently listened to was the wayfarers by becky chambers, very good characters.

Binged it in one night, I enjoyed it a lot.

I am also always immensely confused how gamers don’t see valve taking 30% of pc sales and not recognize that as greedy shit bag behavior.

We all know when google or apple does it on their app store its bad, or when spotify pays artists pennies its bad, or when actors are striking because of its shady residuals payout from streaming its bad. But when king gaben does it, its fine perfectly ok. Even though game devs are some of the most overworked and underpaid workers in tech. And then people wonder why games suck lately.

Of course not. You are thinking about it all wrong, they don’t have a consistent ideology that can be interrogated. Consistency means nothing to them, it’s pointless to try and find contradictory beliefs. They are looking to oppress and terrorize the groups of people they deem lower, that is their goal. Being consistent is a hindrance towards that end and more than that, the don’t believe they need to be consistent. To them, they are deserving of ultimate power, being inconsistent is how they display and enact that power.

:3

Except the people who are actually popular on mastodon are shit posting the windows xp USB connection sounds and meowing at each other like feral cats. not the founder of adobe

Literally I have no idea what you are talking about…

ya wanna know what my feed has been all day over on mastodon…

gay people tooting “:3” and just that, hundreds of them… ddos the fedi with “:3”…

you see what you follow, follow cooler people. It’s not mastodon it’s a you problem. Should follow more gay and trans and neurodivrergent furries. It’s a party over there every day I love it

I would say that you’re right guns make people feel safe.

I just wanted to say that guns absolutely do not make me feel safe, knowing one is nearby or seeing one makes me incredibly anxious. Holding one even more so. I don’t understand how people can feel safe around them, to me it’s like having a ticking time bomb in the room but the timer was set by a rng.

i pick up my phone and call em…

looks around at the fediverse uh we kinda already are…

the main reason i have avoided vr is it feels uncomfortable as fuck to have a brick on my face imo…

tho i saw some recently on a utube video that used micro oleds and were more like goggles than a brick. looked a lot lighter and more comfortable. still not really tempted to buy one tho
