I am a noob. My server is a MacMini running Ubuntu server because it was easy to install. I have a website, Jellyfin and nexcloud.

I don’t have the brain cells to understand VIM.

In the CLI, I use nano, always. In the GUI, I use Sublime text because the colors are very pretty.

Ok but how are they going to deal with the fact that LEO in their personal civilian cars are the ones speeding and going through red lights with impunity?

Well, I just wanted to say,

I think that we get stuck too much on how it works. We need to step back and ask ourselves what we are trying to explain.

The goal here is to have them try out a new social media. The media looks, feels and behaves like twitter. So the only explanation needed is “it’s like twitter”

You can then add what differentiate it from twitter “it’s open source” “it’s not controlled by big tech” “there are no ads” “it’s good a blocking nazi content (ymmv)”

IMHO advertising the decentralized “like email” nature of mastodon as a starting point is counter productive.

Won’t that cause true economic chaos? There already is more music than one can listen to in their lifetime. You’ll never have to listen to the same track again if you chose so. That is true before AI comes in. So how to you chose what to listen to? Where do you put value in music?

AI is just going to devalue music and art in general. Flood these industries in a race to the bottom.

I have created a machine

It can know all your secrets

I will sell your own secrets back to you

Because I own my machine and it now owns you too

And monsters aren’t part of a mon ? Is that what they are hiding under Olympus Mons?

The imperial valley is not in the Empire State… where do they grow imperialism?

We’re lucky to see the edge of the game right? If it’s truly infinite, aren’t we more likely to play anywhere but near the one edge?

Listen my dude it’s a two way street. You look decent so what about I drop off one kid at the fire station and we go from there? I’m sure you’ll get to love little Timmy.
