@davidallengreen @ChrisMayLA6 I don't know if I would call all on mastodon civilized, but for sure, they are way more interesting, their thoughts are way more diverse than what you see in the mainstream, which makes for a very good place if you actually want to discuss and challenge yourself with opinions you would never even hear of in the mainstream.
@Dan_Ramos I am very curious about how long google will accept competitors in the form of startpage.com who made a business of removing everything innovative from google and just has plain search, based on googles link database. Seems to me that they are a prime targets for googles lawyers at some point in time, when their search customers has dropped too much.
@Incal If it is important, it would be good with text, instead of hiding the message inside a video. =(
@reclaimthenet What? And now Canada? This mind virus is apparently spreading to every single nation state regardless of color.
The EU was stopped from making chat control law twice. Now they are trying to do it through age verification, to pull in chat control through the backdoor. Very sinister!

Even Google warns Canada’s Bill C-22 would build a “surveillance infrastructure” that weakens cybersecurity for everyone.
It joins Apple, Meta, Proton, Signal, and more in opposition.
The bill forces companies to enable mass surveillance, store metadata on millions of innocent users for a year, and create backdoors that break end-to-end encryption.

@skdh Should be easy to test. Pick subject, ask about some place, send message into the past, ask subject to remember again. Done!

"While each of us are free to come up with and live by our own privately held theories regarding the actions taken by, or in the name of, Collective X or Collective Y, it is never right for the government to do so, especially when that collective is defined by its birth characteristics.
And if and when they do engage in this practice, know that despite what they might say, they are not doing it because they care for you or want to protect you, but because they want to sow discord or foster suspicions about a group they see as potentially standing in the way of their quest for ever more power."

@Dan_Ramos Interesting! Is this the beginning of the end of the AI bubble?
I think that Musk will IPO SpaceX, and that that will be the start of the bubble, or 3-6 months after the IPO. Big, fantasy IPO:s are often a sign of a bubble popping.

Whoo!
"The AI bubble may be hitting reality:
-Uber reportedly burned through its entire yearly AI budget in 4 months
-Microsoft is cutting internal AI access
-Starbucks scrapped an AI system after it performed worse than employees"

@matthew Thank you for the recommendations. It does seem like the only modern GUI:s to nostr are webapps.
@matthew Thank you very much. I agree, I do like the concept, but for daily use, I find the mastodon experience way better. Let's see if we get some recommendations!
@matthew I'm struggling with getting anything useful out of nostr. I do not want to use someone elses webapp, then I can just use X (which I don't).
And after giving gossip 10 minutes, it just felt like trying to drink through a firehouse, not to speak of the difficulty of finding something interesting.
I also found the sorting, blocking, muting, lists, subpar.
So any nostr fans out there who can give me some pointers in the right direction?

Something we already noticed long ago about almost every claim Al Gore kept making. Good on you, scientists, for finally catching up with the rest of us.
