so MAGA can threaten the president and it’s cool? Smh.

That’s what happened in Cyberpunk. Internet became garbage because of rogue AI.

You get 10+ texts in a row?

I usually respond in paragraph form and then as they’re typing a reply, I panic and ghost them for another day.

Five years ago, a open-source project I worked on moved to Zulip (from Slack) and it was a small hurdle. But after a month, I really like it!

So much that I’ve pushed a few other open source projects (who lived on Discord).

I was really surprised when I started a new job two years ago and THEY used a self-hosted Zulip. It’s everything Im used to on Slack.

Discord has team speak/video sharing, which I don’t think Zulip has. But then again, we use something else for video calls.

For e2ee, neither does Discord, nor Stoat, which is what most of these comments are pushing people towards.

What was the problem with Zulip on mobile did you have?

I only use it for text chat, so I’m curious.

It does lead to slippery slopes. First, it’s to block “adult content”.

Then, they’ll consider certain topics “adult”. News about current events? LGBT content? Video games with some violence in it?

Facebook is an example of this slippery slope. And for parts of the country, they do need to scan an ID.

The website would be better if there was also links or resources to alternate.

But also that’s hard depending on where you are.

Darwin Awards in action.

You must have not met our American brand of Jesus, who believes in guns and Budweiser. Unless Budweiser is too woke now I dunno I don’t subscribe.

America creates the blueprint. As they say, we are #1 (at speedrunning towards a cyberpunk dystopia)

For things before 2023, there was sexual harassment (multiple) bullying and hostile workplace and their excitement over NFT. They had a boys club and made it a really toxic atmosphere, where the CCO literally said “Women don’t sell”.

The best way from my perspective is to show them.

At tech events and meetups, I’m showing them Linux.

When my friends come over, I show them my self hosted solutions on a Linux.

At work, where we use Macs, we talk about open-source, including Linux.

No idea what it could be.

Everything from calling her a Russian asset to voting abuse.

Outside of WSJ’s discovery, nothing else is known.

People who abuse GenAI no longer can tell when the shit they post look like GenAI. They only talk to AI so it looks normal to them.

Put your private citizens data on US servers?

Nah. More like giving your private citizens data to US government.

I laughed my ass off at the PoE2 comment.

Back in mah day as a teen in 1999 who didn’t have parent supervision, I went on the internet and learned HTML to update my geocities page with more pictures of anime and hotties.

I downloaded 4 songs and it took me 10 minutes a piece, and one of them ended in .exe.

I played web games that didn’t know how to make money so sometimes they’d beg people to give them money or put banner ads all over the place.

The I found some cool software on Usenet. It was broken in 80 rar files (I am still testrunning winrar), and when I unzipped it, it was corrupted.

Then I reached out to my AIM/ICQ to chat with a 22-yo man pretending to be a teenager and cyber’d with them. But before I got to anything good, my mom picks up the phone and my connection dropped.

Jokes aside, a Double VPN exists, which masks your VPN with a VPN.

What does age verification mean for VPNs?

Because if I’m using a VPN using a UK server and I get any issues, I can switch to Spain, or Italy, or Zimbabwe or whatever. Is that not the case?
