Exclusive: Morrison approved for legal aid over robo-debt

Jump

  • Just give him the legal aid then when his case is done start calling him constantly asking him to repay it because he wasn't actually eligible, sorry.

  • This post is wet with spittle...I will type this reply out then wipe myself down and be on my way.

    • Pork chop for dinner

    Jump

  • I will upvote that pork chop.

    • pointers are very eleganto

    Jump

  • Yeah, and I'm pointing to your pointer pointer and I'm a pointer pointer pointer. Or more accurately but less funny is that I'm pointing to your pointer-to-pointer and I'm a pointer-to-pointer-to-pointer.

    • Anybody who bought a Tesla in the last few years is a goddamn tool.

  • I get you, man. I like my Volvo but I hate Swedish people! When my hate for the Swedes starts to boil up inside me and I start to grip that wheel hard, I just think of my car's strong but flexible chassis, collision detection, and understated yet elegant interior finishing and it calms me down.

    • Taliban Endorses Twitter Over Threads

    Jump

  • Why not get those quirky Taliban guys over to America for a Twitter ad campaign, Elon. He could probably throw in a tour of Space X launch site or the Tesla car factory in Texas? (Just keep all the female employees out of sight, shh, mums the word...)

    • So, what exactly is Nostr and how is it different from the fediverse?

    Jump

  • Copy paste of my research:

    Nostr

    • https://nostr.com/
    • https://nostr-resources.com/
    • https://nostr.com/clients
    • Nostr is a Twitter alternative that's decentralized, not a Reddit alternative.
    • Nostr is not P2P. Its a broadcast protocol. Nostr is pub/sub, distributed, decentralized; while others such as Matrix,mastodon, bluesky are federated and are somewhat closed than nostr.
    • Nostr is just a protocol - a structured way to send and receive data. Not tied to one-email or a centralizd service for identity. Anyone can create anything on top of nostr. (https://www.reddit.com/r/nostr/comments/14ea9y3/whatsthedifferencebetweennostrmatrix/)
    • No, they (Nostr) are not doing ActivityPub. ActivityPub requires server-to-server communication, which Nostr does not have. They only have client-server communication. And the actual protocol is different to ActivityPub, all the way from the transport (which uses WebSockets rather than HTTP REST) to the schemas of the objects being passed. They also rely much more heavily on public key cryptography.
    • Nostr takes decentralization too far to be practical for a wide audience IMO. The relay model is even more abstract than Mastodon instances (which can at least be analogized to e-mail hosts) and the public/private key system is both inaccessible (copy/paste a key or look people up in a directory-- like a phone book! Friend codes on steroids) and unforgiving (no password resets). Like much of crypto, there are interesting ideas that don't seem practical in actual use. Curious if it pans out. (https://kbin.social/search?q=nostr)
    • But unlike ActivityPub, the Nostr protocol is extensible with NIPS (https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips) so maybe there is hope to fix these problems (https://kbin.social/search?q=nostr)

    • Android app:
      • Plebstr
      • Amethyst (getting more updates than Plebstr)
