• Comment on How to Fix Twitter—And All of Social Media (Jaron Lanier):

  His proposal sounds a bit like the fediverse...

  In which I agree, we should all have more of the fediverse, it's a clearly superior method of operation.

• Comment on Canadians Through Time:

  The former still exist. The trucker protesters were outside during one of the coldest winters in recent memory for days.

  Of course, they're called racist sexist misogynistic homophobic transphobic american russian nazi bots, but that's because the weak fear the strong.

• Comment on Looool, Batman ran away from AntiFa/BLM:

  Hypocrite much, Bruce?

  His goddamn main superpower is being rich.

• Comment on How to Slow Aging (and even reverse it):

  I've been excited for about the past 5 years, because it seems like there's some potential options that will become available within our lifetimes for slowing or even reversing aging.

  I don't think that it's going to be the ethical dilemma people think. People in the first world are reproducing less and less anyway, and so the growth in the number of people is slowing. I expect that if people knew they could live for much longer, there would be a lesser need to reproduce quickly. The economic discussion over importing a bunch of people relies on the fact that most old people aren't contributing to society any longer and need specific help to live, so if we could snap them back to their prime, suddenly a huge burden is removed from the world economy, and a huge benefit of an entire workforce of experienced people of all kinds are re-activated.

  I'd be really interested in seeing the effects on intellectual thought: Imagine you get a bunch of people with the wisdom of an elder and the powerful mind of a teenager. Rejuvinated learning ability and memory and raw processing power, paired with a pre-existing data set. It could lead to a new enlightenment.

• Comment on Diet Google: 'Privacy-Focused' DuckDuckGo Fails to Block Microsoft Trackers:

  At this point, the only service of any kind I don't host myself is youtube (because you just can't find everything you want on the fediverse for video). Searx instances ftw

• Comment on Cab we take a traditionally gay character and make them a alpha male?:

  BTW, the image is a meme, not real.

• Comment on Cab we take a traditionally gay character and make them a alpha male?:

  Another reason for kids not to eat rice crispies for breakfast.

  Besides the fact that it's a shite breakfast cereal.

• Comment on Let me wipe away your tears, son:

  WE NEED SEVENTEEN DOSES OR EVERYONE WILL DIE OF COVID LET US INJECT IT INTO YOUR EYEBALLS!

• Comment on What the Science on Gender-Affirming Care for Transgender Kids Really Shows - Scientific American via Ghostarchive:

  I actually love science, and seeing it destroyed by religious psychopaths for political ends is really sad. :(

• Comment on The unravelling of BigTech has begun:

  That would be huge. Next up it's time to hammer banks the same.

• Comment on The baby formula market is a corrupt, FDA-enforced protection racket designed to feed babies processed JUNK ingredients:

  Really, why isn't baby formula just a product provided by every dairy company? Why is baby formula 100 times more expensive than the main ingredient in it?

• Comment on Appeals court: Florida law on social media unconstitutional:

  One of the most important things to understand is that section 230 does not provide immunity from user generated content. Jurisprudence prior to section 230 already provided immunity for user generated content.

  What section 230 provides is immunity from liability if you start engaging in moderation practices. It came about because rather late in the story of online services, CompuServe was advertising itself as a moderated experience that was protected from bad things. This is in contrast to previous internet services where it was largely unmoderated. The jurisprudence for an unmoderated service was that the users were responsible for their own posts. Bye setting out to engage in moderation, and by advertising themselves as such, computers had opened themselves up to liability for the stuff that remained on the service.

  Section 230 was an attempt to rectify that, to allow a service to engage in moderation practices without taking responsibility for whatever content remained.

  The courts have incorrectly interpreted this law as being broad immunity from lawsuits in general, and many websites have claimed that without section 230 you couldn't have user generated content. This is obviously absurd. User generated content existed before the 1996 communications decency act, and if it were to be repealed it would exist after. It exists in every country around the world that doesn't have section 230.

  That's one reason why for all my fbxl sites I basically have a policy of no moderation. I'm going to see stuff that I don't like, but I can't take personal responsibility for making sure that every single person is doing everything perfectly. It's the internet -- it isn't safe, don't pretend that it can be.

• Comment on Retarded fags with their faggot flag with added Kool-Aid, you think they understand Ukraine don’t like gays and all forms of fruit cakie-ness:

  You have to admit, it's pretty funny that the gays are slowly being written out of their own flag.

• Comment on American living in Shanghai describing his experience:

  The combination of authoritarianism and incompetence...

  In the rest of the world, getting covid isn't even an issue anymore. My wife got it a few weeks ago, she's fit as a fiddle now. No government involvement, and the hospital basically said there's not much to do except take some Tylenol.

• Comment on A hot, deadly summer is coming with frequent blackouts worldwide:

  I get a kick out of how they have set up there talking points such that it doesn't really matter what happens, it's always because of their pet cause.

  One of the reasons for a lack of energy resources around the world is that everybody stopped investing in energy resources thinking that we were going to magically come up with 40 to 60 times the renewables we've been using until now. Now all of that irresponsible wishful thinking is resulting in catastrophic results, and don't worry it's climate change. As if Hot years never existed before this year.

• Comment on Bill Gates is the biggest private owner of farmland in the United States. Why?:

  You can be both, even at the same time. People are complicated, and the world is even more complicated than that.

• Comment on Facebook is so far gone:

  I'm gone off of almost all big tech at this point. Not worth it.

• Comment on Next up, playing with libretranslate:

  https://github.com/argosopentech/LibreTranslate-init

  This script sets up pretty much everything as far as I can tell.

• Comment on Next up, playing with libretranslate:

  on ubuntu 22.04 apparently you need to install pkg-config for the above the work using apt-get

• Comment on German court orders two priests to pay fine for article criticizing homosexual clergy - LifeSite:

  I'm not going to lie to you, I don't understand the least why you would possibly care what the sexuality of your clergy is.

  As far as I recall, these people take a vow of Chastity. So the question becomes "which group of people am I specifically not banging?"

  Doesnt that seem odd to you? It just seems like a double negative to me.

• Comment on Why the Baby-Formula Market Is a Mess: Low Competition, High Regulation:

  If you think about it, basically every baby formula out there is cow's milk with a supplement inside. There really isn't a huge reason why every milk company on the planet couldn't have their own baby formula.

• Comment on Netflix staff is reeeing:

  Get rid of black identitarians and bring in black comedians. You'll get better shows.

  And not woke comedians. If he hasn't dropped a hard r n bomb send him back.

• Comment on Continuous Protests Spread Across Iran Following a Massive Price Hike in Food and Other Basic Goods:

  The craziest thing is that people will blame capitalism when it's explicitly central planning that caused this.

• Comment on Stocks resume their rout as falling profits reignite fears of inflation. - The New York Times via Ghostarchive:

  It should have been clear this was coming: PPI has consistently outstripped CPI, you can't do that forever. Eventually prices need to rise for real.

• Comment on Idiot thinks a woman should be able to murder a child after its born, at any age. Her mom should abort her right away:

  Feminists ought to realize that shit like this is setting women back 500 years...

• Comment on Gemini, you’re gonna die twice:

  One thing, pretty sure they're fake profiles, not official CNN.

  You can take that you you please, it might change the calculus but not the answer for folks.
