It doesn’t need a cell connection.

Is that the one that uses peer to peer tech to share videos?

Well, no. And I think it was just not a few atoms. But we did it.

Btw, we just transmuted our first gold just recently.

Yeah, I don’t think that’s how it works. The people who do not have the greed at some point are content.

It’s a mental abnormality that causes some people to act like cancer and consume resources obsessively.

It’s also a consequence of low taxes on capital gains and corporate profits.

When those taxes were higher it made more sense to reinvest the profits back into your own company. You’d build a reputation and a structure that would pay out you and your family for a hundred years.

Now the dream is to build up a company just enough to sell it to some megacorp and cash out asap, with you and your family living off of investment money that only increases over time.

I think black people are being left out of this about as much as white people? Progress?

Wait, no. Today brown people are the target.

Don’t worry though, I’m sure the white supremacists will turn to more targets after this one if they get their way.

Half the job at ICE is to stand around as a deterrent. It’s hard to sabotage “go here and exist”.

Called what? That you didn’t like their use of emojis?

What does that have to do with this? You didn’t call shit.

“freshly produced”. You think it’s magic? Do you only drink from “freshly produced” sources as most of it goes down a drain?

Bitwarden disables some features if you self host, even if you pay the $15/year.

Except for the hard drive, ram, and video card.

We haven’t, really. Our “complete neutrality” is infested with troll farms, where people are employed to make hundreds of accounts to spread propaganda.

I’m thinking the answer is to implement a huge barrier for troll farms, but a small speed bump for real people.

It could be oauth with Steam or your cell provider, where you can make an account if you’ve spent over $250 with them. Actual credit history would work. You can combine these and allow any of them, which might let one person make 3-4 accounts, maybe, but that’s still limited enough to make things difficult for troll farms.

There is an issue where billionaires that want to influence us have absolutely absurd resources, and maybe paying $1000 per account isn’t enough of a barrier for them. But at least it gives us a chance for the bans to stick significantly more than they do now.

It’s just a thing that needs repeated basically constantly for all of us.

People were playing text-based multiplayer, effectively mmos with PvP well before Tim-Berners Lee invented the Web Browser.

http://mud.arctic.org/ this one is still around.

But why? You don’t need telnet to transfer text.

I’ll always be able to play Balatro, Factorio, and he’ll, I’d go to text based MUDs first.

I was hoping the tariffs would be good, but I certainly expected it to be a disaster otherwise.

In retrospect, it was just really bad, and his tariffs were a ham-fisted turd. He saved the demolition of the country for his second term, after he let Stephen Miller run things and got rid of anyone who was telling him no.

It’s fine. He had potential, and he really did move fast and break things to make Tesla what it was. I don’t think EVs would be where they are today without him.

The pedophile thing really was the turning point. It was possible to see before then, but it wasn’t even the event itself that did it. He just changed fast around that time period. Whether his views changed or he just started revealing and acting on them much more is debatable.
