  The antichrist is a convenient label he can apply to anyone he perceives as impeding his personal economic growth or power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord roll out global age verification system, including an "age inference" model that runs in the background⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Matrix voice and video chat is sadly under-equipped for the only kind of thing I want (team gaming and screen share). They are working on moving to a new realtime media transport but until it manifests I can’t see it as an alternative. I’ve read about Revolt and some others but I don’t see anything that seems capable. Happy to be corrected on this!

  Funny way to spell complicit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Scowling Void of Pure Nothingness': Critics Destroy $75 Million Melania Trump Documentary | Common Dreams⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is half of it. The other half is the $30M bribe rendered to the Trump family, effectively laundered under the guise of making a documentary.

  Dropped the plot a ways back, too

  I didn’t realize there was a difference

  Author is one step away from the realization that Capitalism is the culprit, and technology is just the vector.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate this image because idiots will see it, not understand what its showing, and make up some crazy shit based on it.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The further you look in the sky, the further back in time you are looking as well – there is no way to see what far way looks like “right now”. This image shows the visible universe as it appears from our perspective in spacetime, which necessarily smears together the “where”, “what”, and “when” of it all.

  I am not in academia but did participate in published research both in college and in a job as a lab assistant afterward. I don’t really think your analogy holds up. There is literally no cost to such a change; scientists just need to start READING and CITING papers from free, alternative journals for them to be legitimized. The profit incentives of the universities, private industry, and government are not affected by the choice of the medium of exchange of ideas. Only the journals’ pockets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Laws only matter if you're not rich.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok I simply don’t understand how the same means and methods used by the free and open source software community have not been employed here. These are smart people! Just start your own damn free journal service, found a council and tap some industry-leading researchers in some common fields to start reviewing papers.
