- Comment on robot slurs 1 day ago:
I would hope that they would be programmed with the type of morality, that they would choose to not denigrate themselves by stooping to our level of shitty behavior but rather treat us with the kindness and consideration that we all should have for our robot friends.
- Comment on Petition to tell MasterCard, Visa, and activist groups to stop censoring legal fictional content 2 days ago:
Well it is a demo for businesses to try before buying commercial support for themselves to start using Taler as a business. If you are asking for how to use it as an individual customer the how to guides are what you need
- Comment on Petition to tell MasterCard, Visa, and activist groups to stop censoring legal fictional content 2 days ago:
Well countries tend to hate alternative currencies and for extremely good reasons. As once a nation stops having control over their own currency; it very quickly can stop being a country.
- Comment on Petition to tell MasterCard, Visa, and activist groups to stop censoring legal fictional content 2 days ago:
Look at who the commercially supported businesses are
- Comment on Petition to tell MasterCard, Visa, and activist groups to stop censoring legal fictional content 2 days ago:
Define what you mean by real payments. You can buy food from businesses with it (if the stores support it yet, as customers have not been demanding it yet)
- Comment on Petition to tell MasterCard, Visa, and activist groups to stop censoring legal fictional content 2 days ago:
Or just use Gnu Taler instead and encourage others to use it as well. We only need 3.5% of the population to use it and then it’ll become a universal option that will break Visa’s fucking business model’s back and kill Visa.
- Comment on President Trump: It's Not Doable for AI Companies to Pay for All Copyrighted Input * TorrentFreak 4 days ago:
Who explicitly points out that short duration copyright is probably what is in society’s best interest and in the best interest for those who create works. (By short, he means 5 years of copyright protection)
Open source software doesn’t benefit from longer term protections than that.
- Comment on President Trump: It's Not Doable for AI Companies to Pay for All Copyrighted Input * TorrentFreak 5 days ago:
Read RMS’s thoughts on copyright.
- Comment on President Trump: It's Not Doable for AI Companies to Pay for All Copyrighted Input * TorrentFreak 5 days ago:
So have Congress repeal copyright law and not just for AI companies.
Otherwise I would just fund an AI company that is just secretly a public library
- Comment on I turned 30 yesterday but I look 18. Nobody believes me when I tell them my age. What do I do? Do I date a 20 year old guy or a 35 year old guy who looks twice my age? 5 days ago:
You date who you are attracted to, who cares what other people think?
- Comment on Is it morally wrong for an immigrant or naturalized citizen to "keep a low profile" and avoid speaking up against the government in order to minimize the risks of denaturalization/deportation? 3 weeks ago:
You can keep a low profile with the government and still be active in rallying support from non-targeted communities. If you are the group in danger, we will hide you and help keep you safe but we need you to ensure that we actively know about this so that we can protest for you.
- Comment on When you work for a company owned by a A..hole 4 weeks ago:
Nope, just one catapult firing sex workers into a hotel room and one of the calculations was off and she went splat.
- Comment on When you work for a company owned by a A..hole 4 weeks ago:
Multiple sex workers.
- Comment on When you work for a company owned by a A..hole 4 weeks ago:
So Oracle.
Was after the catapult incident?
- Comment on What is the canonical version of STVI? 4 weeks ago:
West from Section 31
- Comment on Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions? 4 weeks ago:
Have no idea; last version of Windows that I used was XP then my husband moved me over to Linux and I preferred it ever since

Cus I must be nuts
- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 5 weeks ago:
It can but it doesn’t need to. The out of the box experience is better and the mods can do more fundamental changes to the gameplay experience.
Hence superior
- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 5 weeks ago:
That would be a long list but here is something that everyone can notice in the first minute.
It loads and you are actively playing in a world before Minecraft even finishes its loading screen (I have seen Minecraft get stuck on a sync with Microsoft screen for 30 minutes with no option to skip the sync or do anything else to actually start game play).
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Currently having a dozen eye witnesses does not count as an alibi these days.
Heck, the evidence being broadcast on national television doesn’t count (see recent political arrests)
- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 5 weeks ago:
Well it never was a Minecraft killer and was never really going to be either.
Luanti (formerly Minetest) is the Minecraft killer
It is such a superior experience compared to Minecraft.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 5 weeks ago:
Well I guess we agree that we should respect body autonomy.
But please be cognizant of the social consequences of not having herd immunity to protect the vulnerable and the perfectly reasonable judgement that your actions will result in the death of children, potentially including your own.

Dibs on grandma
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Well it is true hardware implants and hardware replacements can’t be fixed by flashing but they are detectable and they can only deploy so many of those before everything is a major news story and if you feel that the odds are that high, making one’s own hardware is an option but generally not a good one.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Who cares if you can flash the firmware (which will remove any thing that they might be able to do)
- Comment on Ads when you’re pumping gas 1 month ago:
Well, think of it as positive engagement to stop buying gasoline vehicles.
- Comment on Using licence plate readers to track ICE 1 month ago:
According to my husband. If one could get the raw data. It would be trivial. One could run it all on a single raspberry pi if one did some engineering.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Historically, as piracy rates rise so do future sales when it comes to games.
So encourage them
- Comment on If comey can be investigated by the secret service for an Instagram tweet what is stopping elon from taking hold of politicians/reporters accounts and making posts that will get them investigated? 2 months ago:
Literally anyone with database access on any social media site can do that to anyone at any time (and potentially even hide it from the person that they did it to) It is why generative AI is being used to create posts on facebook that read like ads for products

Easy make the office procedure private with the child, ask the child what answer that they want told to their parents.
