10 years from now I live in a farming community, most of you have cel phones in your heads and live in panopticon minority-report smart cities pre-policed by AI, many of your relatives live in a bed, and every last one of us believes in God.
And now to scramble the pw to this account as well. That's it for me. No more socks left.
I think you mean that the only thing that's changed is that information that was tightly controlled by governments via a small but powerful set of mainstream media channels to advance the notion of an open society that played by a tight set of rules and respect for civil rights has been augmented by a small and even more powerful set of big mainstream internet companies.
Give yourselves a round of applause, Silicon Valley et al.
But as so many even here keep repeating so idiotically, "We live in a society. We live in a society. We live in a society..." Gotta keep trading that liberty for more safety. Gotta keep 'em safe.
Anyone see the new messages you get on Twitter when its AI pre-judges your tweet to be Intellectual Spam?
Good job Twitter employees, if you're reading. Keep up the great work. Keep us safe from code points arranged in wrong orders.
I'm not as fond of the redesign that took place sometime in the last decade or so, but I remember the old (circa 2000) Win32 docs as good examples of great documentation.
For the worst ever in all of human history, I submit the official Unreal Engine docs. They never finished them, and they ain't gonna. If it didn't come with full source I'd never get anything done because I'm not about to sit through 100 hours of YouTube videos to find the details I need.
A lot of software relies on user-created documentation these days. And it's not even a decent wiki anymore. It's more likely to be YouTube and a Discord. Damn kids.
IMO this is a normal way to feel about it. I'm american and while I'm not shedding tears, I do feel the significance. I'd have immense respect for her even if it were only for fulfilling one large role, honorably and consistently, for an entire human lifespan. How many politicians have? And I think she had a hard, hard job. Imagine having to live up to the expectations of a great Queen of England for that long without a meltdown or scandal.
It's quite a different context, however I felt sort of similar about John McCain, mostly for what he endured as a POW, and what he nevertheless went on to accomplish in politics.
Kiwi Farms has a thread on Taylor Lorenz from WaPo, because of certain erratic behavior. Taylor got her own dirt removed from the internet archive. Taylor has been helping Clara go after Kiwi Farms.
Taylor's uncle is Roger MacDonald, founder of TV News archive:
Still really unclear what law is being broken in that case. Unless you're proposing new speech-curtailing legislation. They're Intenet-famous. They're of interest to forever-onlines. This one in particular is of interest to women and parents who've so far resisted brainwashing.
I don't want that to be a quasi-unilateral judgement.
Also, one question. Suppose we do change the laws, and Kiwi Farms continues to operate within those new laws. Will that be enough, do you think? Because the US would have to outlaw dead naming and misgendering for it to be enough for the activists.
I have the same information, unless CF pays someone to lurk the Farms more than I do. Unlikely. This is a pretext plain and simple. Prince is full of it. There was one fedpost and it was taken down. It happens. There's no machine learning algo scanning new comments to see if they sound like plausible threats.
Lifetime of depression and multiple suicide attempts as well. If I ever do it, it'll be because I suffered my whole life, not because of the most recent thing that happened the week before.
And now to scramble the pw to this account as well. That's it for me. No more socks left.
