There’s absolutely no sensible reason to even consider doing this.

Dog shit has plenty of good things going for it, frankly. It acts as a fertilizer and really its existence just means that your dog’s internal organs are functioning properly.

- 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:
TikTok gathering data and selling it to whoever is not the problem. It’s a problem.
The problem of TikTok and many other social media is that it drains our energy and motivation. It’s like digital weed, creates the feeling that there’s no reason to change things. We can just consume things.

- Comment on Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers 3 weeks ago:
No, actually…
… but seriously, the Internet is so different from real life that no comparisons make sense. Opinions that would have been uttered by the craziest village idiots in a local gas station 30 years ago are now distributed and magnified by the social media machine. In the past, you could see with your eyes and hear with your ears which people you really really should not listen to, but in the internet, those people look exactly like you and me.

Trump also ordered the Pentagon, against Mattis’s recommendation, to come up with a plan to withdraw approximately half of the American troops deployed to Afghanistan, a move that military officials have warned could plunge the nation into chaos.

Nor should you. Everything shitty in politics is not due to Trump, but he sure normalized a lot of bad things that weren’t a thing before him.

You should remember that he founded the original CopperheadOS project (from which he was violently ousted by his cofounder) and has been working on it and this for a decade.

I know Daniel somewhat, and calling him extremely toxic is just wrong. He is and has always been rather bad at communication and is clearly on the spectrum in some way. Technically a genius person, but perhaps doesn’t have the right set of qualities to lead things.
Very good decision from him to withdraw from social media.

- Comment on Twitter loses World Bank ads over pro-Nazi content placement 2 months ago:
The golden age of classical liberalism, when capitalism actually worked, the 1700-1800’s, more closely resembles what we would today call market socialism.
I don’t think that’s a valid historical claim. 1700s and 1800s were largely influenced by Adam Smith, with a limited level of governmental intervention and high amount of private liberties.
What western countries currently have is much more like market socialism than classical liberalism. If we take Elon Musk as an example, a large part of his success comes from governmental corruption, direct financial assistance (multiple billions of dollars) and several government contracts.
I think the proper fix would be to return to actual classical liberalism and reject or at least limit the amount of market socialism.

Twitter isn’t capitalism, nor is Elon Musk. He says “I love capitalism” in the same way as Emperor Palpatine says “I love democracy!”

I wonder how the economics here work. If I enter the pump phase, leave before the dump, I’m effectively stealing money from the MAGA cult. Is that a good deed?
