Would love to see the blog

The garbage is another great source for treasure :)

Everything else aside: fearing for one’s life is the single best reason to use a weapon I can come up with, pretty sure that’s why it’s such a common lie

Why’s that? So much of my treasure comes from estate sales etc, they don’t make stuff like they used to. I would say 90% of what I own has passed through someone else’s hands, and a pretty good chunk of em have themselves passed

A single bitter, crowing “hah!” at whoever thought there wasn’t at least this much overlap between our corporate and government masters. Welcome to hell kid, shoutout to whatever’s being trained on the last ~30 years of everything that touched the internet in the NSA’s Utah data center. Rose coloured PRISM though, I dream of the day when someone makes those search tools public and I can reminisce through my preteen MSN Messenger convos

Communication can be tricky. I always wonder what motivates someone to downvote the other half of a conversation like this. Hope you feel better understood next time and have a nice day :)

And keeping a light in the darkness isn’t sticking your ‘face’ in the sand. Whatever you try, I hope it works for you :)

Panicked screaming doesn’t exactly help either man. Good luck out there :)

The worse things get the more important positivity becomes, mrdown. You can at least try.

Looks like not great/no one has tried for a few years. I say give it a shot (far from tax season) and report back!

N-th the suggestion to creep on people who buy the same stuff as you. There’s a lil grid of their pfps, I click on a cool one and check out the stuff they listen to that I haven’t

He did not singlehandedly create the “signal protocol” (double ratchet key exchange tyvm), that’s not really how it works. He was an early contributor who became an advocate and figurehead because he was a good communicator/unafraid of the exposure. Check out some of his pre-signal sailboating stuff for a good time :)

I put KDE Neon on this exact laptop for a friend and everything Just Works™. Pen, onscreen keyboard, switching in and out of tablet mode when you flip the lid, everything. Pretty slick really. Same distro on a Lenovo 2-in-1 was a lot more finicky, who knows why

This is kinda the same process amazon itself went through back in the day

People like expressing themselves, to know and be known is kinda what life is all about, and I have no idea how to meaningfully engage with someone who sees that opportunity as a burden to be alleviated. Hope you find both joy and peace today man

The difference is whether we’re engaging with one another collectively or being engaged by a machine in isolation. If we couldn’t tell the difference we would be “cooked” and it would be “so over” as the kids say. This is why it’s important to care about the human element, freebasing materialism has apparently caused you to dismiss your fellow man as confusing baggage

Further, this (thankfully) doesn’t seem very well-recieved, I would say in large part because it is thoughtless, souless, trite, mechanized slop. It’s making a room full of countercultural system-smashers who would otherwise agree with at least the general sentiment stop and think that you suck too

The impactful thing here is your output, not that of the slop machine, and I don’t think it’s having the influence you’d hope for mr. downvote

Your only point is:

1. If it supports my ideology it’s inherently good

From a human perspective it’s icky and you come across like 1950s propaganda to make commies look bad. When people express themselves they… you know what, I’m just gonna leave it at “ai sucks”. Simulated human output, our entire selves slurped up and analyzed to be extruded by a corporation, if your self-defined “marxist perspective” has an excuse for that it can eat my ass

Curse this ai slop. The fake crayon thing is really bugging me, like. Crack open a box and put a few hours in if you mean it, super accessible style
