Chronological age is different than cumulative age. I’m not sure if those are the correct terms.

Thanks for the explanation.

Other instances seem to be using Anubis. Perhaps join the matrix chat for Lemmy?

Not even close.

What’s wrong with Anubis?

I worked for Google. I worked for Google at a time when… I don’t think they were as evil as they are now. And I worked for Google at a time when they did not use their technology for warfare or for governments. I really enjoyed my time at Google. And I am personally heartbroken at the path that they have taken, and I fully support the boycott of Google in order to support the Palestinian people.

I’ve noticed the usual BurgerReich propaganda machine has kicked into overdrive, along with Western credulity.

Acknowledge

Israel already has everyone’s data, for a long time and share what they want with any of the five eyes, Europe in general. So it’s probably safe to say all Western states have each other’s citizens data, plus a few states, if expedient toward US objectives.

I have never been enticed to it, even when it supposedly would have greatly benefited me. I hope I’m able to continue to avoid it.

The problem with external validation without internal validation is we become dependent on it, so that if that source becomes unavailable, we’re despondent until the next supplier. I’m not saying it’s not righteous and good, but that the purest supply is homemade. Like food.

I agree up until “can’t deposit a picture of a check.” Mobile banking does exactly that.

Some users have taken this idea to the extreme. Last summer, a British expat in Singapore, Candice Gallagher, made waves after posting a TikTok video in which she said LinkedIn had “A-grade filters” for finding “A-grade men” — namely, doctors, lawyers, and “finance bros.” In the post, she touted the various filters you could use to track down ideal partners. More recently, a screenshot of the tech entrepreneur George Hotz’s LinkedIn bio was shared on X. In his bio, Hotz declared that he now used the site “exclusively as a dating platform” and laid out a catalog of requisite attributes — “intelligent, attractive, female, in or visiting San Diego” — for his ideal match. “Send me a message and invite me out for a drink,” he wrote.

Yeaaaaah. No. Geohot? I haven’t thought about him in forever. So I did a quick bit of searching.

Is that in line with industry pricing now? I’m more out of touch than I imagined.

Interesting blog.

Since at least 2008, every time there’s an option to either make the money track real value or make sure things don’t go down, they chose the latter. As a result, money is increasingly uncoupled from reality.

From Cory Doctorow’s blog:

The actual dead economy risk is that our institutions and markets will continue to move capital from productive activity into memestocks, vibes, and bubbles.

I mean, I kind of get a vague picture and in* a vague way, I vaguely get it. Maybe.

A home for poorly researched ideas that I find myself repeating a lot anyway

And a couple of start ups.

Lol. Have you seen my dark side?! A few dark archetypes definitely reside within, and I’m okay with that, just learning to manage them, right? You’re alright. I’m alright. Everyone is alright. We are where we are, just have to prod ourselves to grow when we get weary. And rest when we’re doing to much. Be well, comrade.

Didn’t do anything but share the wavelength. I’m glad we do. ❤️

No a photo op can go seriously awry. Just see what’s legally doable.

This is a real test. If he pulls this off, I won’t necessarily be a believer, but I will be willing to keep paying attention to him.

I wholly agree.

I’m wondering if comments are out of order for me? They seem not to have been properly federating over the weekend, possibly since Thursday.

Jordan is not attacking Iran, Jordan is the defender between those two nations.

That’s not centcom
