🇵🇸 whoever loves Digit

It's good that more people are waking up to the fact that apps / software can't do "end to end encryption"

Apparently #piefed lets you reply to people but block them from replying, so your abuse shows up in their inbox, but they can't reply to it There are some badly designed #nostr apps, but this might beat them all in the bad design contest

It's over, liberals. Trump is a commie now

Flying cars for rich people keep getting better, but they still suck. More at 11

The authorities made Luigi Mangione sick so that he couldn't be in court today. Last year, I was so isolated and unsupported by people around me, I was scared of this happening to me. I still kind of am. Luigi has a lot of support, and they still frame him for this murder and treat him like this. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqamkcvk5k8g730e2j6atadp6mxk7z4aaxc7cnwrlkclx79z4tzygqythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0qqsg7lnu2axeenmumpseqlw2kr97prt5j5m9ytdxhgznddrvaqgdxjcygshpj

I wonder how much correlation there is between empathy and intelligence. Imagine the people with the most empathy winning a brutal war against everyone else? I kinda want to make a comic book about it, where we get perfect lab-grown meat that's subatomically identical to the most well-cultivated-and-butchered animal meat, but like 95% of people keep killing animals because they're attached to it The remaining 5% aren't OK with letting this happen to the animals, but the 95% think the 5% are too outnumbered to do anything, so the 5% have to methodically wipe out most of the 95% The lab-meaters get addicted to the taste of human meat in the process of defeating the animal-meaters, so they don't stop at victory, they continue in an all out genocide, eating whole bloodlines of people whose families supported the animal meat side in the past Eventually it's a civil war between the lab-meaters, some of them saying it's time to stop eating people, others saying it's destiny for the animal-meater bloodlines to be factory farmed and sold in grocery stores The problem is my whole concept kinda trails off there, idk how you'd write a good ending. Seems like this is a great concept building up, but then it runs out of anywhere to go

I think really long term. I envision a future we are nowhere near. We might be nearish to a future where animal cultivation has been replaced with real lab-grown meat (not "plant based meat"). We might be nearish to a future where people stop dying of old age. But will it only be rich people? How do we make it everyone? How long will that take? Can lab grown meat replace most people's hunting? What about wild animals? Can we have a future where prey animals are evolving to do something other than be prey, because humans are making tigers and coyotes and stuff evolve to prefer hunting fake prey? Can they all stop dying of old age too? What has to be done about people who are like "no, you can't do everything in your power to save lives and make less suffering happen, it's uNnAtURaL" ??? What do we do when it's all done? If I live a million years and save all the animals, will I get bored? What will never get old to me, no matter how long time goes on? Seeing Digit exist, but what else? Feeding immortal hyperintelligent cyborg crows? That might not have the charm as feeding natural crows. What if there's an actual endgame to existence? What if we've been created to solve some problem - what happens when we figure it out? Do we win? Do we get rewarded? Do we get discarded? Maybe we forget everything, and it all repeats, and in the middle, we exist in these brief moments where our minds can see glimpses of it all, past, present, and future. Maybe not. Maybe there's a sequel. Maybe we'll find out.

Between Republicans and Democrats, I have 0 choices for a party that would ensure my right to use vaccines to protect myself and my loved ones. And 0 of the 2 are choices that would ensure my right to use guns to protect myself and my loved ones. And sure as fuck 0 of the 2 are choices that would ensure both. See how far they have moved the goalposts from respecting your rights?

A lot of people don't get what I was saying with this meme. When different industries disagree on something, Republicans and Democrats blame each other for any policies that go against their favorite "industry experts." But when those same "industry experts" all agree to go against real experts, violating our rights with stuff like gun bans and vaccine bans, Republicans and Democrats suddenly all agree too. It turns out they just want their side's money listened to, and they detract from progress by framing it as if they're each the ones that want a more intellectual decision making process. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqamkcvk5k8g730e2j6atadp6mxk7z4aaxc7cnwrlkclx79z4tzygqy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7qpqafftzfwwgzq70auygqkwa80vemlzagpytnmewp57qd9ge2u03e2sczgydv

The real goal of banning people under a certain age from social media is it lets the authorities hurt people under that age while blaming the victims and the parents for defying their authority
