Option A: If you have 1 ton metal machines powered by exploding liquid driving at 60 miles per hour around your neighborhood make sure the wheel is properly pointed in the right direction. Designate specific areas where the machine are allo

I honestly think it would be completely legit to build a completely separate ecosystem on top of the same protocol. A separate set of relays, separate apps which connect to those relays by default, no lighting payments, different defaults,

I agree that if someone asks you something, you should at least write "I asked AI and it said..." rather than pretending the AI response was your own. If you ask me something and my first response is to ask AI, it's probably

The irony is that this is the exact opposite of the "let me google that for you" meme of the previous decade. If you have a question that could've been answered by AI, maybe you should've used AI in the first place.

I tried to self host my email but I immediately ran into the issue that basically every ISP and VPS host available to me block outgoing connections on the SMTP ports. This is a fairly new development in the last few years and is done mainly

If someone can solve the spam problem in email without just manually whitelisting specific providers that heavily monitor their users, then they can completely reverse the direction of this problem. Unfortunately it doesn't seem likely

I don't see it the same way. I see it as akin to building a machine which can do the cooking for you. There is a lot of experimentation in terms of how you can construct that machine and how you can set it up, and for some people the p

at this point, what's the advantage of this setup vs something like hermes?

No obviously we can just require that drug dealers make sure they distribute cocaine in packets that only open for adults.

"everything the author mentions" I wouldn't say this is totally accurate. There are no swimmable lakes in the central part of the city for example. Certainly there are parks that have volleyball, running tracks, kids parks a

I suppose because, inflation is down, and additional interest rate hikes are looking less likely.

I would love it if I could disable bluetooth on the TV. I have never connected it to any network and its still blaring "HELLO SOMEONE NEARBY HAS AN LG TV" to the entire neighbourhood 24/7.

No blockchains here. Nostr is just a standard signed message format being relayed by simple store and forward relay servers.

seamlessly jumping from local to remote sessions is something ive been hoping for in zellij for quite a while so if herdr supports this it could be interesting. Until I try it, though, I don't think I'll understand why it needs a

They are talking about mandatory on-device scanning. E2E doesn't solve this.

I'm not certain that local police forces are always consulting the NSA or Palantir to find out who is behind a particular account. I would guess that the vast majority of arrests for offensive posts were made openly under a real identi

The biggest angle for me is censorship. You associate your online identity with your legal identity, there is no longer any recourse if you are banned from a platform. You could easily be arrested if your posts are determined to be 'of

You could implement it this way: - the first time you select a directory it must be empty - you can drag files in there afterwards - the directory gets whitelisted for future use Probably has bad usability, but would be more secure.

Considering the Trump administration's policy on Isreal / Palestine / Iran seems to be a direct follow-on from the previous administration, I'm not so sure about that assertion.

Free speech doesn't mean that we don't desire filters. Go check your gmail spam folder. Twitter would look identical to this with filters at all. What we really want is: * transparency about the filters we have on our feeds * the

So in future we will have "retro" streaming platforms that buffer with the spinner a random times for nostalgia and have menus full of promotional material that are impossible to navigate to just find what you're looking for

You're assuming a file containing a statistical model that exists on your hard drive has agency. It doesn't. You as the user have sole agency and what you use the statistic file for.

You could say it's more akin to if we have all been writing in a assembly and suddenly we got access to compilers and high level languages. Would we all be complaining that every conference is "about compilers"?

It's hard to avoid the topic when it literally redefines what it means to create software. If I'm using it to create some piece of software, then I turn around and say "I wrote this" am I even being truthful? But if I&#x
