whoever loves Digit

I never put money into the game for many years until I could afford to support the creators because I was happy with the items I could find for free

Someone get ja rule on the phone

This is half true at least. It’s not just insane nonsense.

No, being able to find items for free and sell them is not the problem or what makes it gambling

I don’t see how this relates to free speech. The targets of bigotry don’t have to do anything or go anywhere because bigots are allowed to talk. If the place has free speech, that means whether you give the place to people who hate you is also a choice.

Free speech doesn’t mean free corporate executive positions. If your workplace will fire you for what you say, you don’t have free speech there.

I think nuclear power will inevitably continue to go wrong (once in a while) as long as humans use it, and it could contribute to the extinction of the planet if overused, so I hope it only goes wrong in ways that result in people not using it where it’s not needed, instead of ways that result in no life surviving human impact

We’re also working on another new GitHub thing over at nostr, but with P2P seeding instead of relying on centralized git servers like GitHub. “Project Zymogen”

Seems like conflating correlation with causation.

Cultism is super common these days, people join cults to fit in, you get less social interaction if you’re not in one.

It’s not that social interaction and cult logic are inherently linked, it’s just a time we’re living through.

I’ve never learned to code because when I try to pick a language to learn, I find I hate every language. I hear Python is an interpreted language, so it should be less efficient than compiled languages, but today I learned PieFed is coded in Python, which made me wonder how it can be efficient enough for that.

Now, the same day, I hear there’s leadership in the Python community strong enough to basically turn down bribes? I’m intrigued.

Liability is inevitable, so when they seemingly try to “shut it down,” remember that the real goal is not only to delay it, but secretly also to shift it.

They offer people money to shield them from accountability, but later, when there is accountability, they will blackmail those same people and throw them under the bus.

If someone lets the authorities bribe them to sell out the safety of future generations, there’s nothing they can say to defend themselves when the authorities later say “oh look, we found the guy that sold out the safety of future generations, what shall the punishment be?”

Be ready to help low-ranking criminals betray higher-ranking criminals, not just blindly attack whatever target is put in front of you.

Everyone has already suggested soulseek, so I will also add that on rare occasions I’ve been able to find downloads with Yandex that I couldn’t find on soulseek or anywhere else.

DaVinci notebooks style science work 🔥

Whatever they’re doing, it’s not enough. The only feedback I can give any state is “try harder”

Sounds hard to solve. Maybe we need hobbyist scientists who get their income in a different way and just publish studies wherever they feel like, or something

The link to “open science” doesn’t work for me - guessing it blocks VPNs which is hilarious for a supposed open discussion / decentralization thing

Are you familiar with nostr? It seems like a good place to publish scientific papers, but maybe there’s a reason no one has done so. Maybe the nostr protocol needs to add a new spec for scientific papers or something
