It's not only the united states of America. These tyrannical views have been brewing everywhere for years, and there was not enough public counter-narrative to these ideologies.

If "dis-information" is the core of the issue, then perhaps we ought to start banning religions? Despite doing that, China is a champion of spreading "dis-information" within their own walls. Hostile actors are not forei

Sadly it's not only the UK. There is a global push to restrict communication world-wide. The future is very bleak for fundamental freedoms.

Thanks for sharing. Can you share an estimate of how many tokens it uses over time? Would love to know how much it costs in terms of money.

A for loop in a shell script may sometimes look like this: `for ((i = 0 ; i < max ; i++ )); do echo "$i"; done` Here this is essentially a "while" loop, meaning it will keep executing the commands as long as we don&#x

Strongly disagree on the "unethical" part. Maintaining a distribution is a lot of work, and the infrastructure also costs money. Paying for the distribution of software is totally fine. You are not even forced to pay anyway.

If we managed to have decentralized social networks based on ActivityPub (Mastodon, Pleroma, etc.) why can't we have a dating app based on the same protocols?
