Go say something against trans and see how the fediverse reacts most instances will hand out an instant instance ban. That's a pretty mainstream right wing belief but its almost completely censored on the fediverse.

Normal centrist European views huh? I don't think so their are a lot of right ringers Europe who wouldn't be allowed to say what they want here. Perhaps that's what some Americans mean when they say leftist but that's not what most people mean pretty shit straw man imo.

Its all to do with how to grid works. Compute loads are large stable loads with ability to perform instant load ramping. The base load of the power grid is increasing (as it has done basically forever) base load is provided by slow to ramp stable large energy sources operating at heigh efficiency (nuclear, coal, geothermal etc) then u have a varying load which is the instant to instant power usage. Renewables provide unstable sources. If the renewables turn off (clouds, the wind stops etc etc) then u need to either generate more power to compensate or shed load. A compute resource can instantly shed load and sell that power they have provisioned back to the grid at a profit. Its using more power yes but it's stabilising the grid which is the big issue with renewables.

Xai is simply using industrial generators that would usually be busy making power for something else they are not increasing the net carbon output they are simply reallocating it. It does have proven impact but on the scale of global carbon emissions its fuck all.

There usage numbers are dropping alarmingly. And all the famous people on it went back to twitter.

Oidc is the protocol by which auth can happen its the evolution of oauth. U need to build some kind of decentralised ledger then u set up a server that checks that ledger against the user provided auth then u simply make this server have an oidc endpoint allowing it to be plug and play with existing fediverse services.

I say oidc cos almost all fediverse software is already compatible with it.

That's pretty cool. But who actually uses them I just spin it and put the flap under the loaf.

Average Human joins Microsoft Copilot, and ChatGPT at the feet of the mighty Atari 2600 Video Chess

Why u need creative? If u actually wanna fix it all u need is a shared social activity with a regular attendance of everyone. And would u look at that we just reinvented religion and church.

The environmental impact is mostly bullshit tho. People using it as a reason just makes their whole opinion seem dumb.

I can write a bot that would be capable of doing such a thing if you would like. I don't have time to dev for free but if u wanna pay for me to make such a bot then I'd be happy to do so. U do get a 20% discount if the code is published under an AGPL licence.

Bluesky blew itself up cos they failed to be sufficiently decentralised and became an echo chamber. Activpub systems are less echo chambery but still have a very strong left lean that is significantly effecting out ability to grow especially among the centre who represents the majority. We need more right wing opinions and allow said right wing opinions if we want the majority of people to adopt it.

The fundamental failure of the fediverse that is limiting us is that accounts are not transportable. We need some decentralised ledger of accounts that can be cryptographically verified with a zero trust system. U just set up a oidc server to do that auth and that plugs into every single fediverse application everywhere.

Yeah exactly. But I still haven't got Instagram to open links in an external browser.

That's what I use its goated. Especially as u can configure it to auto remove trackers.

I use the app urlcheck and have that as the default app to open all URLs (opening other apps are just special URLs). I have then turned off opening URLs for all other apps. Urlcheck then gives u a popup that let's u decide what app opens the URL let's u remove trackers etc.

I'd call direct calls for socialist and marxist policies extreme left. As well as extreme political correctness (a soviet term look up the history of it). If u call average people Nazi fascists enough eventually they will agreeing with you and become that.

I'm in Australia I have the goddamn flag in my username.

People have been radicalised by radical leftism this is just the pendulum swinging back the other way.

U need to change ur device fingerprint.

It was sick and dying so it came to the front lawn to get human help. Vet said it wouldn't survive in the wild so it got the great green dream.

Isn't that a wallaby not a kangaroo. Used to have a very friendly kangaroo with a white nose live on my property. Had to shoot it sadly.

NASA did a lot of work no doubt they then made all that work public for the private sector to iterate on and improve and bring to market. Eg the accelerometer in ur phone was a NASA invention but it required someone in a private company to decide to put it in a phone and mass produce it.

NASA isn't held to more stringent safety requirements NASA literally defines the safety requirements which they apply to spacex, and any other space company as well as themselves.

NASA blowing up a rocket on takeoff is seen differently than a private company, which just costs more.

Tell me u know nothing about an iterative development and testing cycle without telling me u know nothing about an iterative development and testing cycle. Spacex falcon 9 is statistically safer than literally every other transport method on earth including walking. Its safer than all NASA rockets. Perhaps them blowing up so many rockets taught them how to not blow up rockets?

Now here's the kicker NASA doesn't actually do that much they design some parts or requirements then let private companies take bids to actually build it.

Independent speculative analysis thinks that the commercial launch fees are enough to cover the rocket price. Not to mention that starlink is a profitable service that is funding most of spacex costs as of now. Plus their are other launch companies that offer similar/cheaper(depending on launch profile) launch costs that due to free market completion will keeps costs far lower than NASA launches.

That's how the government works they fund things with taxes that are distributed to all citizens equally. The citizens then use those things to generate value which is taxed and continues the cycle. Every dollar spent at NASA has a 27x return in terms of GDP from the private sector. Ie NASA spends 1$ and releases research/technology then the public uses that research/technology to generate 27$ of value. I never said it more efficient to do everything privately its just more efficient to do most things privately.

Healthcare is a great example its more efficient for the government to negotiate prices on behalf of everyone then let the public market compete to fill that service requirement. Its called socialised healthcare yet still takes advantage of private institutions competing in a free market to fulfill the collective service requirement. If the government runs everything u get the NHS which has gone to shit and cant afford to service all the people. If the government runs nothing u get the american system where the poor get fucked. If the government performs collective bargaining between the people and the provider u get the Australian system where everyone gets healthcare almost instantly of world class quality. U need both private and public working hand in hand. The governments purpose is to ensure free unrestricted competition between private entities and to negotiate with those private entities on behalf of the people that the government represents. That's how a government works it doesn't build a road it negotiates with a bunch of contractors who are competing with each other and pays the cheapest one to build the road.

U say socialist yet u describe communist. I like the socialist policies my government has free healthcare, good roads, cops, firefighters, national defence etc etc. These things cannot function without leveraging the private capital and competition of the free market.
