Imagine being this fragile

We are chatting with a dead person’s sentient cholesterol.

How do you know if someone is vegan?

I can say “I do not speak French” in six languages!

US. I speak ok Mandarin, poor Spanish and bad Portuguese. And I guess English. Also I can’t read Chinese reliably, so I am also illiterate.

Damn so you’re saying I could have gotten a mega PhD instead of just a normal dumb person PhD?

This is basically Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut

You could say the same thing about Time Cube

Thanks Obama

This absolutely expands the threat surface in a few different ways though. It’s relatively low stakes, but it’s non zero. I have not dug into the implementation but I am curious how this doesn’t technically violate forward secrecy. A single session key will ostensibly be used to encrypt the entire session key database? Which means if that key is compromised in transit then the entire key history is compromised. Using the long term secret directly for data in transit is definitely not compliant either.

We haven’t been infested by the vain Facebook crowd yet.

A brand new rider makes around 50w off the couch. 100-200w functional threshold power is normal for someone who rides casually but regularly. Pro racers are doing like 5 w/kg so around 300w for a smallish person.

My ex wife left various toys and accessories when we got divorced and there were definitely a few tinder dates who seemed into the idea of “general admission” toys. Maybe not something to bring up on the first date but it’s usually pretty obvious what kind of partner is going to be open to that kind of thing after a couple encounters.

Pretty sure they already did. Turning it into a right wing boomer platform is going to chase all the kids away and with it whatever broader cultural relevance it might have had.

“I identify as a dragon fucker” feels a lot like “I identify as an attack helicopter.”

You can’t properly smash the patriarchy if its flesh is supple and spongy.

Unfortunately, Lemmy demonstrates pretty clearly that decentralized systems are just as vulnerable to propaganda and brain rot.

Meh read the room. This is basically someone sharing a picture of their domesticated pet and you chose to inject an unsolicited position you knew would be controversial. That’s what we call being edgy, and it’s widely regarded as annoying.

The solution here is distributed trust by proxy. You start with a single exchange between two trusted peers, and build from there. As long as every individual link within the network is trusted, then any route between two disconnected endpoints can be trusted as well. As the network grows there is a very high statistical likelihood that there will exist many individual trust graphs between two nodes, which provides redundant validation.

I have always thought this would make a cool chat app. You enter the network by scanning someone’s QR code to become their validated peer, and then you can theoretically communicate with anyone else on the network by exchanging keys via trust graphs. You could then build a social network on top of it which shows you how many hops it takes you to get to some celebrity or some shit.
