Because then I could know that I could control where the data went.

It being open source doesn’t mean you can mosify and run your own software on it and still have the agency accept you are compliant.

He looks like he’s wearing his skin as a mask. Like a Roboputin.

So glad I never got on WhatsApp

I would have absolutely bought an iPad instead of a Surface Pro if I could run desktop MacOS applications on it when docked to desktop peripherals. I want one single convergent device for tablet and desktop.

We really should be talking about Rampart.

I meant a specialized application, like the Atari one that beat the LLM.

Human brains lose to computerized chess all the time, though. So I guess this is a win for AI tech bros?

Digg is in the middle of some big “reboot” of the site, with Alex Onhanian on board. They’re in some invite-only preview for the last few months.

It took time to build up a reputation

It also took Digg ruining itself.

Nah, we hold him right here in the country and bankrupt him with civil suits from all the people he efficiently ruined. And the Fed Government will certainly have a slice of the with restoring regulatory actions against his companies and recouping contracts that were improperly granted.

it shouldn’t be, but with our first past the post voting and barriers to 3rd party ballot access, it kind is.

Yep. Aunt Wu. People would live to her prophecies (“She said I’ll be wearing red shoes when I meet my true love so I always wear red shoes”). But they would also let it be an excuse to not work at something for themselves ('I’m wearing red shoes so my part is done").

Telling yourself these things often leads to taking action to verify the belief.

Some real Aunt Wu energy.

Wait, yoink? Like to snatch something up? That’s at least 30 years old from the Simpsons.

I mistook your original comment about the alarm clock. I wasn’t reading it as the clocks in all timezones being set to UTC and rather that you wanted to keep your daily routine aligned with the daily solar cycle of the time zone you left.

Sunrise at 06:00 UTC in one timezone would occur at 03:00 UTC three timezones over

Right, but I wouldn’t want to keep my daily routine aligned to a different time zone than where I am.

So if you’re travelling or even communicating across timezones, you haven’t fixed anything by using UTC since daily activities (sleep, meals, etc.) are still correlated to when the sun is up or not

Exactly. So why would I want to adjust my alarm to 3am after travelling 3 time zones? I only care about relating the time between two zones for real-time communication with people in the other zone. And I’m not getting up at 3am for them.

Why would you want to get up every day at 6 am from three time zones over?
