Yes, except that Watergate happened, there was a time when even republicans didn’t want a king.

…upenn.edu/…/presidential-pardons-explained
Tried to educate myself on what the pardon consists of…and found that there is no real separation between the executive branch and the judicial branch, because prosecution is up to the executive branch and the president can pardon whomever e.g. “For instance, George Washington pardoned participants in the Whisky Rebellion, in part because they enjoyed considerable popular support.”
Meaning, you are above the law if you are popular, president or rioter.

They should also their pork rare. And chicken sushi of course, that’s how animals do it in nature :o)
- Comment on The peer review system no longer works to guarantee academic rigour - a different approach is needed 1 month ago:
Couldn’t you have researchers who specialize in finding “bugs” in published papers, like we have QA testers or bounties for finding exploits? Is this too aggressive an approach for science? Should work for hard sciences, though.

…the only way this would have fought them was before the election, now they’re in the walls, that is palliative care.

Jumping spiders are the tigers of the insect world. They jump, they stare, they are cute, furry and pettable…so long as you are at least twice as large.
- Comment on Climate scientists flee Twitter as hostility surges 4 months ago:
Twitter’s format feels a bit like yelling into the void and waiting for replies…you may luck out and get some engagement from a hub or a small subgraph of the network. Mastodon makes that stronger by removing the algorithm (I’d like there to be a user-customizable feed sort algo by an array of parameters, not sure what the technical limitations to that are: processing, security?)
Comment trees feel better (to me at least), because there is a hierarchical origin, a native indexing by topic>post>comment>countercomment…it sort of resembles how we relate with the world or navigate maps.

Hey, neocities is pretty good, I think I’ll try to use chatgpt to get some boilerplate site running and then keep adding to it :)
- Comment on European Commission cuts funding support for Free Software projects 5 months ago:
Is it as vague as “funds for AI” or cloud computing capacity to compete with China and the US? Because we could use that in the EU. I just don’t know who would be operating it. Universities?

Ok, apparently it wasn’t as gradual as I thought, there was a determining moment in 93-94 with Netscape and HTTPS that made secure transactions possible for e-commerce.
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 5 months ago:
I want the internet to be a network of digital libraries…communication and sharing space…personal pages…services…the commercial motive starts from there and eventually consumes the rest :/

Google owes me nothing indeed, that’s why I don’t pay.

What do you use for that, fetch the transcript and just feed it to the LLM of your choice?

One of the reasons electric cars were able to outcompete ICE-specialized companies is because they undercut on all sorts of nice to haves like buttons and pieces that they forgo by using a screen, wifi, updates, beta testing.
But they don’t pass on those cost savings to you. They are even sold as luxury products. They even take the carbon credits. That’s bullshit if you are serious about mainstream adoption.

And can a car you rooted pass periodic inspection?
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 5 months ago:
Is that what they are trying to do? Push crap ads and try to kill adblock to get them to pay for another subscription?

The other day I visited youtube without any add-ons and concluded I’d rather do anything else than use youtube under those conditions.

Yeah, it’s not just e.g. water that is the utility, pipes and pumping stations are part of it.
