Toilet Paper is a lie!

No clue but maybe you confused it with this one?

I imagine that theoretically you could have algorithms or machine learning to calibrate this. Like make test sounds so you see how the sound diffuses and then filter it out.

The error message says “.exe” and looks like a dot net namespace.

I think the idea is that only the big platforms have to offer a protocol for interoperability You could always disable that in matrix or chat with someone on another chat protocol unencrypted.

But the real advantage is that someone on those big chat apps can just switch to a different (more secure) app without loosing his contacts. Basically this should be a huge boost for open source and trustworthy messaging apps. At least from what I’ve read here:

Hmm, wouldn’t that make it worse? Because then you have to give your real name, no?

Thanks for putting it so well. I’d give you reddit gold but I only have this rock: 🪨 Maybe it’ll comes in handy one day!

PS: Consumerism also drives climate change and the potential genocide of many or even all people of earth.

Another criterion might be to be self employed. I have little experience with that and it probably has it’s pro’s and con’s but depending on what corporate culture you’ll face as an employee. But it might be worth keep it in mind when choosing your profession.

You have to click “learn more” and then “disagree to all”. Internet is getting worse and worse without addons.

It’s wordpress. I use ghostery addon to avoid cookie popups (always deny) and trackers.

From what I’ve read they almost certainly completely wrong. This is a blog site that lays out the timeline and evidence and all the shenanigans. It’s pretty horrible reading this. There is zero evidence and all the witnesses contradicted themselves or outright lied. A jury found him not guilty. But it was a cottage industry. It’s about greed and media malfeasance and racism and maybe just hatred of freaks.

No. He had pornographic magazines of (adult) women. A complete zero evidence incriminating him, see here. But it was a cottage industry to make shit up. It’s pretty sad example of media malfeasance / racism / greed / hatred against freaks.

I wouldn’t mind them using my data for good things. But I know they don’t, their motivation is always profit - to extract wealth from me to their shareholders.

I think that’s what I find so creepy about the comic, this delusional view of themselves as the good guys when their actions will always result in their profit rising more than any theoretical productivity and wage gains from technology. “Hey everyone! We’ve found a new and ethical way for everyone to help shovel our collective graves! Yay!”

The Culture series novel, my favorite optimistic and hard sci fi that includes artificial intelligence (minds that have giant ships or habitats for bodies and humanoid avatars to interact with people).

They basically never live on planets because they are inefficient and “inelegant”. They live on gigantic ring orbitals that have a fraction of the mass of a planet but multiple times the surface area. No big take-off energy needed either. They also live on gigantic ships that endlessly cruise the milky way. Highly recommend!

Another thought about “colonizing planets” would be that it’s basically a form of genocide. Imagine someone had colonized earth half a billion years ago or just a few million years ago. Humanity would never have existed. Just stepping foot on a planet like they do on star trek is basically ecocide - with the introduction of completely foreign and possibly incredibly disruptive micro organisms. Besides the ethical aspect there would also be the loss of information - if you imagine a pristine planet to be a bio computer creating countless unique and new genetic variations and new forms of chemistry. Quite possible not something that can be covered with a computer. Or observing primitive planets as a source of entertainment. There are lots of reasons why outside of a few “home planets” advanced civilizations would never terraform existing biological systems, and would find artificial habitats far more efficient or practical.
