Ah. I remember that. Good show.

Hahaha, SO TRUE!!

This is entirely valid and unfortunate.

"Molten wounds still glow where the two nuclear bombs detonated. And I wonder, in my last moments, if the planet does not mind that we wound her surface or pillage her bounty, because she knows we silly warm things are not even a breath in her cosmic life. We have grown and spread, and will rage and die. And when all that remains of us is our steel monuments and plastic idols, her winds will whisper, her sands will shift, and she will spin on and on, forgetting about the bold, hairless apes who thought they deserved immortality."

-- Pierce Brown, Morning Star Novel (P. 166)

If you wish to keep slaves, you must have all kinds of guards. The cheapest way to have guards is to have the slaves pay taxes to finance their own guards. To fool the slaves, you tell them that they are not slaves and that they have Freedom. You tell them they need Law and Order to protect them against bad slaves. Then you tell them to elect a Government. Give them Freedom to vote and they will vote for their own guards and pay their salary. They will then believe they are Free persons. Then give them money to earn, count, and spend and they will be too busy to notice the slavery they are in.” - Alexander Warbucks

I never thought of this. Good idea. Purchased.

Yeah that's where I heard about it the other day. I never heard of it before. It doesn't seem to be a big as ActivityPub networks.

Is "censorship-resistant social media" a misnomer for unmitigated hate speech? Is that the Implication you are making? Or do you know if it really is a magnet for right wingers?

It would be very disappointing for a potential superior technology to be stomped out prematurely due to a swelling of assumed extreme political polarization.

Good info thanks. I was looking for a technical answer but seem to be getting a few political polarized responses instead. I'd no idea.

Anyway, I'll have to look up what a "map-reduce query" is. :)

Do you think there's potential for a large, popular, and fast relay to become a sort of gatekeeper, with big centralized dominance? Like if Meta setup thousands of fast relays everywhere and started injecting advertisement attachments to user messages? Or collect info on each key so they can eventually ID and track you? Even if the user message are E2E encrypted, a relay could probably still attach an advertisement payload into the message somehow, no?

I really don't know what I'm talking about. Just chatting really.

I don't know what a Crypto Corral is. Do you mean it's mostly crypto interested people? A few others have said it's where right wingers hang out. Are right wingers crypto people? I've no idea.

Where is this, specifically? Got GPS coordinates?

Hey thanks for that. I think melodic death metal is starting to become clear to me.

Taco Bell bean & cheeese burrito used to be 0.99 not too long ago. Now it's 2.50. A box a oreos at the grocery store was 2.49, not its 6.49 (and thr package holds half the cookies now!) Crazy.

I understand things are cooling off. But that just means the prices won't continue to rise so fast. The prices aren't going to come down I don't think.

Pardon my ignorance. What is S-tier bands?
