That is different for each person

I just replied to another comment with this but I’ll put it as a top level comment here because I think it’s important.

I want MORE right wing idiots to realize they’re wrong and join our camp. The more the better. Remember, these people are still our neighbors, they still exist and we will have to interact with them outside our homes. I want more reasonable people, so when we do have converts, please receive them with open arms.

Okay, you were a huge idiot, but welcome to sanity part 1. Of they’re big enough to realize they were wrong (and they’ve had a LOT of brainwashing, it takes a lot for them to snap out of the crazy) we should be big enough to say bygones.

I understand the want for revenge because they were “the enemy”. I understand, they were a huge asshole and now we have to play nice with them? That doesn’t sound fair! But I think we have to, we want to welcome more idiots into sanity and reason. The less idiots out there, the better. And for what it’s worth, there are people that listen to her, if they can now be on the side of reason, they can pull a lot more people with them.

If we don’t we’ll make it harder for people to move out of the right wing camp, and I want much much less people in the right wing camp

Though I agree with you, i think there has to be a pragmatic aspect to this

Scrapers like these usually use proxy providers like storm proxies to be able to appear to come from hundreds of thousands of different IP addresses, making it enormously difficult to block them

Yeah, no

First off, this is just another step, and if you believe it’s the last one then I have a nice bridge to sell you

Secondly, this won’t work in practice. Software is being developed all ove the world by single nerds to scientists to little kids, to small software companies to huge software multinationals with hundreds of thousands of developers.

99.9% of the world doesn’t have these rules and won’t give a shit about what California wants. Do you believe that the app developed by some random kid in a random country will start checking age just because newsom wants it? Ok Boomer.

And IF this system allows you to put in whatever date, then what’s the point, beyond some security theater?

This bill is absolute horse shit and won’t go anywhere because this is not how the world works. This will likely end with citizens in California having a really really tiny amount of software available to them legally

Great write up but just to conclude:

This is not an “if it will break” but “how fast it will break” issue, because this WILL happen, it’s only a matter of when, and event that won’t be far off anymore now that current LLMs have shown to be a technological dead end.

Ding ding ding

In principle, i agree with you.

You already feel tbe “but…” coming in.

But these people relish in hatred. If (more to the point, when) roles are reversed, this is what they do and they enjoy doing it. They laugh about the suffering of others, they make fun of the suffering of others.

I don’t know this woman at all, I don’t know her name, I don’t know her views, thoughts, politics, or even what suffering she’s going through

However, she is not only a Christian Republican tradwife, she is the Christian Republican tradwife of one of the lowest, most hateful figures out there. I think it’s very fair to assume she is a horrible hateful person because of course she is: she is a Christian Republican. And the wife of one of the more hateful speakers out there.

I feel no pity for this woman, I do not believe anyone should have mercy for her, she wouldn’t have it for us.

Yeah he did, I thought I mentioned it but there is so much to say about this horrible man…

The Hyperloop thing was never ever going to work as even high schoolers could have seen the long list of practical issues with it, prohibiting it from ever getting even in the direction of being real. It’s a fundamentally flawed project

Making a (partial) vacuum machine 3-4 meters in diameter and 600km long? Won’t happen, we can’t even do a fraction of a % for that

Having a 600km tube in the sun will move your endpoints around by hundreds of meters throughout the day due to the metal warming up and expanding

That same tube will also be warmed up more on the top than the bottom, causing that tube to try and warp itself into a circle

So you do have your 600km partial vacuum tube? Awesome, now how do you get that pod train in there, or how do you get the people into that train (or out of it) without breaking your vacuum?

Even with a partial vacuum, when moving that train over 600km will cause a pressure buildup in front of it what will become a problem

This entire design is a terrorists wet dream. I need one rifle of sufficient force to puncture that metal tube and the next train that comes in will end up hitting a hammer.

And there is lots more but I will try hard not to make this post too crazy long

Meanwhile we could have had normal trains but without having a source for it, I do recall reading multiple times that musk didn’t wanted trains because they’d compete with his shitty Tesla cars, and that being the reason why he whipped this up. So now over the past two decades, China has been building railways like there is no tomorrow and now has. Huge network of high speed rail while the US (and Canada, Mexico) have basically and practically nothing. But they have cars, yaaaaaayyyy…

I know, I am an awful person. I want adults to be free to choose their own path in life, even if that is a path that I (or you) personally would not have chosen.

Are you also against gays or people being trans? Serious question.

The implication is clear enough, though. This woman is awful and deserves all the bad shit that will come for her, but her husband isn’t a pedophile.

The internet as it currently is is quite far from fine and less and less working as it was originally designed, and as it currently stands it’s not too hard to take down various sections for a prolonged period

I know the feeling.

O saw fox news for the first time and was like WTF, how can this be real and allowed? Then I gave it slightly more thought and you see how this is useful to make people for politicians that work against their best interests. You then see that happen, you see each next Republican presidential candidate be dumber and dumber and greedier. You see the US economy always in shambles after a Republican president, yet people keep voting for them because…

And you see this going in a certain direction.

This was a good 30 years ago.

Why are there so few people like us that didn’t see this coming from miles away?

Well, she too belongs in jail, so yes?

More a north American thing

That last part says it all, though.

The ISPs are horrible companies, mostly, and that alone warrants that users should be able to have their own router

I need a better router than my ISP wants to give me, then just give me the modem, I’ll do the rest

And I would accept the death of the Way I CEO

I know that, once cars drive themselves, it will be just time before an accident happens and someone does.

I also know that computer driven taxies will likely be safer than human ones, at some point

I also know you don’t brag about that shit, and if I hear a fucking CEO brag about how the public will be fine when his product murders a person, I’m fine with his death as well.

So when are we going to see Microsoft execs who knew about this (guaranteed, all of em) in jail cells for being complicit in a genocide?

I mean, I steal a loaf of bread and I might already end up in a jail cell. One would think that assisting in an actual genocide would get you a noose but who am into wonder about that?

“This time around, you’ll be a Chinese peasant girl in 540 AD.”

… And be ready to have a really shitty time!

Congratulations for having a real spine and showing the world that money isn’t everything
