- Comment on A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source 3 weeks ago:
My thought was that the video loading probably isn’t going to be nearly as fast as TikTok because of the money behind their servers and optimization.

My friend working at a major museum in the U.S. brought me up to the roof once, and as we were walking down dusty dimly lit halls he pointed out some pole weapons which were determined to be fake but the conditions of the donation were that they had to keep everything, so they were just leaning in a corner.

- Comment on I'm as white as snow but I'm still not white enough to eat this. 1 month ago:
No worries, just making a joke and not saying it’s a reflection on your character.
When I see “I’m white but not white enough to eat this” I interpret that to be saying some people are unreasonable in their aversion to spice. What did you mean?

Yeah, people should only eat the things I like to eat
- Comment on If Jesus can turn water into wine, but wine is still mostly made of water, can Jesus apply his powers recursively and create more and more concentrated wine? 1 month ago:
Late one evening a boy and his father were accosted by a mugger. The traumatic moment unlocked some kind of latent power within the boy. Frantically he tried to intervene, skin touched skin, and the assailant’s blood turned to wine, fatal. But not before the cretin dealt a terminal blow to the father. And that night that boy became the hero we all know, Jesus Christ.
- Comment on After a year of operation, Switzerland's government closes its Mastodon instance 1 month ago:
If you run your own server (like a country would in this case) you’re the one deciding whether things are allowed to be posted. Of course that doesn’t stop other people from blocking you. But the whole idea is as a sovereign country a private corporation shouldn’t have a say over which posts are seen.

Yeah, seems mean spirited.
- Comment on If tomorrow it was announced that aliens were real, highly intelligent, and in communication with our governments, no one would be talking about it by Halloween 1 month ago:
I remember watching them and the conversation about them. But that’s different than proof and admission that sentient alien life exists. It’s one thing to suspect while also having other possible explanations (could be secret tech that we or adversary nations developed, could be sensor errors or optical illusions) and another for the president to be like “I want you to meet ambassador Xlurg”

I’m with you. Yes, people acclimate to all kinds of things, but sentient aliens are going to take more than a few days.

- Comment on What started “weirdo” as a slur just recently? 2 months ago:
I’ve seen people say there’s good weird and bad weird, and if you don’t mind calling yourself weird it’s probably the good kind.
As for calling maga people weird I think it’s effective because their whole deal is about vibes. “We’re strong, we’re smart” and it really bothers them to be perceived otherwise. It’s also not something you can “debate”. Either people accept it or they don’t. What are you going to say “no, I’m not weird”? Sure thing buddy.

- Comment on What other animals "make music" together? (Specifically harmony or rhythmic coordination) 3 months ago:
You and the other commenter are right, I don’t expect birds to be like “let’s both chirp and make a minor third interval”. I’m sure if they harmonized it would be for whatever sounds right based on how they evolved and learned.
What I’m getting at is it’s not harmonizing if they just happen to be making sounds at the same time. For the purposes of my question harmonizing is when we’re intentionally making two distinct tones simultaneously.
So two birds that are just chirping along their individual songs and they happen to overlap so they each chirp complimentary notes isn’t what I’m interested in. I want to know if any animals mean to harmonize.
- Comment on What other animals "make music" together? (Specifically harmony or rhythmic coordination) 3 months ago:
Lol well birds are never going to make it big in the industry with that attitude (also I don’t think it really counts as harmonization if the notes don’t line up either. More like counterpoint or something)
