Hey, that sludge pipe wasn’t cheap!

Ugh, the iceberg was probably uninsured.

I knew it!

I’m not a judge, but isn’t internet essentially a utility these days? Cutting someone off because of piracy seems like cutting off electricity or water because they did something illegal with it.

Chess has taken over a significant portion of my gaming time since getting into it a couple of years ago.

It’s a beautifully deep game, and it’s refreshing to be able to pour time into something with staying power that people of every age play all over the world.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I honestly don’t know. It’s going to be a big problem. LLMs are capable of having this exact convo we’re having without giving away the game.

Some sort of personal vouching system? Ever changing “human tests”? I’m not sure it’ll be enough.

Everyone clustered on like 4 websites for convenience, and then browsing the internet started to feel like wandering around different sections of the same department store: sterile, corporate, advertiser-safe, and everything’s transactional. Plus, it made it incredibly easy for any party that wants to astroturf public opinion, because now they only have to set up shop on a few sites: botting comments, infiltrating moderator positions, abusing the algorithms.

We desperately need to break the internet’s monoculture, and I think federated social media like this is a great start.

Always happy to do my part.

This is my favorite one yet.

Armus strikes again!

I’ve ingested so much tea this way. I’m done for.

Apparently they exist
