Maybe we can compromise and all the people who don't want to contribute to society can get dropped in a big forest and kept away from society. No goods shipped in, no medicine, not even raw materials like metal ores to jump start things from the ground up. Surely all these entirely self sufficient individuals will have no problem sourcing everything they need from the land.

I 100% understand not liking how some of the tax money is spent. But you also massively benefited from infrastructure, technology, legal enforcement, and economics that were massively enabled by tax funding. I could be convinced to embrace some sort of compromise, but raging about how ALL taxes are theft just sounds like a petulant child upset that they can't have their cake and eat it, too.

I lean pancakes, but I do love me some waffles still.

Gotta love the arrogance of thinking you know better than almost 20,000 climate scientists just because your favorite podcasters and news hosts were paid to tell you how smart you are for disagreeing with them.

Oh so we're blindly blaming minorities with absolutely zero evidence and ignoring how Kirk stoked political violence, why am I not surprised?

Isn't it just email? With no encryption, I'd be unhappy to have my every message available in plaintext for both my email provider and the providers of my contacts.

NIP-54 defines how a wiki could be run on nostr. I don't like how it uses AsciiDoc, though, and I especially don't like how it isn't even fully compliant with the spec because the [[wikilink]] syntax already has meaning in AsciiDoc. I'm hoping they go back to markdown and specify an exact flavor.

This user is promoting a legitimate chat protocol/service, but they're not listing the real site for the project. The REAL site is https://tox.chat/

Stay careful out there, and don't trust every link you see.

CNN hasn't gone to court and fought for their right to lie to you.

Reducing poverty is the best way to reduce crime BY FAR. People who are left behind by society care little if they harm it.

We tried working just off arrests and punishments for like 4,000 years. Just how many civilizations managed to eliminate crime that way? By my count, it's zero.

Hmmm you might have a good point about who's actually going to directly interact with the chosen syntax. I'd be interested to see stats on that from somewhere like Wikipedia. I'm sure you're right, I just wonder to what extent.

Still, though, a wiki requires a more complex syntax with a richer feature set. Regardless of how the users interact with it, it's absolutely critical that the chosen flavor has all the features we need from the start. Once different sites and clients start doing things their own way, it can get really messy, and interoperation can take a big hit.

Developer familiarity shouldn't be the top priority in my opinion. It should be establishing a standard that maintains familiarity and ease of learning/using while ensuring a sufficiently rich feature set. Pandoc markdown shares its base features with most other markdown flavors while providing a lot of extra features for things like tables, math symbol integration, etc., that will be important.

Keep in mind that the real end user of the wiki format will be subject matter experts. Any sufficiently broad wiki will need input from lots of experts, and they will need the tools required to properly express information on their topic of specialty. Anything they need that isn't in the base spec is going to get custom rolled to fit their needs, and we'll start to see incompatibilities arise as different clients handle those needs in divergent ways. They're also in no way guaranteed to be software developers, so they're unlikely to have much familiarity with developer standards and tools.

This needs the flavor of markdown specified. Could be an extra tag if you want the flexibility of choice, but there are a ton of flavors, so maybe it's best to specify a standard flavor. Or maybe it could be specified on a per-space basis so that each wiki can make its own choice, maybe including listing all formats the wiki accepts.

I was intrigued to see AsciiDoc in the NIP as I was unfamiliar with it at the time, but the more I've looked at it and played with it, the less I like it for this. It doesn't read as nicely as markdown in raw form, it comes with a lot of features that don't make sense for individual articles themselves, and like you point out, the NIP isn't even compliant since wiki links override some of the anchor syntax.

If it's gonna be markdown, though, there does need to be more effort to specify flavor. There are tons of options, but none of the NIPs I've seen for markdown styled content specify a flavor. I'm fond of Pandoc's markdown since it has a rich feature set and pairs with a high quality conversion tool, but the important thing is making sure everyone is on the same page.

It would be a good idea to specify the exact flavor of markdown, as there are quite a few. I'm personally fond of Pandoc markdown since it has extensive features while also having excellent support for conversion through Pandoc, but the important thing is that we don't have everyone using their own personal favorite and assuming it'll just work while leaving client devs to come up with some sort of detection system so they can properly render random flavors.

I've been hoping to see something use that NIP, so this is pretty cool, I'll definitely be checking it out.

The Christian right supports the pedophile in command that constantly acts in direct opposition to the word of Jesus, so that's a pretty major point against them.

If this is how he treats the people who get closest to him, why do you think he gives the slightest shit about you?

Just remember that EVERY SINGLE VOTE to block the release of the Epstein files came from Republicans. Every. Single. One.

Can we pump up the rate? Like one a month? Maybe even one a week?

The part about gun laws is just... Not true. Supreme Court rulings decide constitutionality, and at least some gun laws have been found constitutional.

Bitch please, the stats only work for racists when they ignore inconvenient truths that invalidate their findings.

This is just made up bullshit to deflect from the Epstein Files. The same files that were blocked by the GOP and ONLY the GOP.

Yes, I'm saying that sharing *to* Amethyst works fine, so I wish it would let me share similarly *from* Amethyst.

Lmao as if cops know what the fuck the law is half the time. Identifying as a cop explains everything. Of course you don't want anything getting in the way of you and your friends.

On the illegal voting, can you provide any evidence AT ALL that it happens on a statistically significant scale? I'm not talking about one or two documented cases of some idiot trying. I mean evidence that it's happening in enough numbers to actually impact anything. I've heard the claim, and I've heard it refuted, but somehow, nobody is ever able to produce evidence that it's a real problem.

That's just not true. From Firefox and Chromium browsers, I can share an image, and when I send it to someone over Signal or Discord, they get the image, not the link. Voyager and Jerboa for Lemmy both share the image directly, no link. Tusky for Mastodon can share images directly. The NextCloud app for Android lets me share an image from my cloud storage, not a link to it. The picture gallery on my phone can send images directly without hosting and then linking.

And all these use a nearly if not entirely identical UI for it, which heavily implies to me that there is some underlying feature of Android that all of these apps are using to offload the work of reimplementation.

You know, I used to be a lot more inclined to agree. The last 6 months, however, have shown us that if the US slides into fascism, the ones that are most diehard about their guns will be actively cheering it on.

For all our guns in the US, you'd think all those "freedom fighters" would be racking up a body count against ICE right now. But they cheer instead.

We've got Trump and SCOTUS absolutely shitting on the constitution, but sure, the fact that you have to pay taxes is the real problem, I guess

Trump's a weak little bitch begging on social media to get his way.

Nazi lives don't matter

#asknostr is there a good way to filter posts by language? I'm on #amethyst if it matters. I've started just blocking everyone I can't understand, but it feels like a crude solution. I don't really want to block them, but there's so much Chinese and Japanese in my global feed that I just can't understand or interact with.

Late stage *socialism*? What exactly do you think socialism means?
