I hereby coin the term #Muskterbate
Definition:
Whatever Elon is wanking off about currently.
what agenda is that? you are lumping millions of people who dislike trump and musk together, (the majority of them not even in the US)
The guardian has left X. I’m hearing on podcasts that there’s been a mass exodus from X to bluesky by those who don’t like trump.
Bluesky seems to be doing well.
Was trumps election a missed opportunity to drive adoption here on #nostr? Or maybe it’s not too late?
My timeline is full of no context calle
Got some examples of the best coding models? I’m curious to use some :)

Daily Mail is top tier click bait nonsense with a massive “anti woke” bias. Take anything it says with a mountain of salt.
#YanisVaroufakis describes our entry into the age of #technofeudalism, digital serfs in cloud capitals fiefdoms.
He’s eloquent on the problems but is he aware of the #freedomtech being built here on #nostr?
Hello from #lisbon 
The “reality” you describe is an unknowable fantasy. What examples of this reality can you point to from history?. I’m sure we agree on a lot of things but being that this “reality” is impossible and never going to happen, so why be so anchored to ideological purism?
The reason I entered this discussion is because you picked a very bad example for your “clown world” meme.
In the UK the plastic bag issue is probably the only thing positive that has happened in 15 years. There are a thousand examples of things that could support your narrative, you just picked one of the very few things that doesn’t.
Did I say government intervention is always good?
Plastic bag pollution harms all of us.
In my country the gov added a tax to plastic bags 10 years ago, it has reduced their numbers by billions.
The outcome is objectively better and widely supported. It’s one of the only positive things the government has done.
I’m sorry that it doesn’t fit nicely into your ideology, but thankfully rational pragmatism triumphed.
So the fairy tale has since become a reality. And there are billions fewer plastic bags flying around the place.
You’re missing the fact that we have the technology and thanks to these laws, the incentives to develop viable and better alternatives.
To leap from plastic bans to communism is an an-cap paranoid fever dream.
Yes we use them for all those things, in fact we use the wrapping that comes with online orders for our food bin.
Does such a place exist?
Yet it took market intervention to ban plastic bags. The incentive got corrected, scarcity was introduced leading to innovation.
At least plastic packaging serves a purpose, it’s not ideal and we need to create better packaging or even go back to using glass jars etc.
Single use plastic carrier bags serve no purpose other than placating our laziness.
Once you’re in the habit of having a few reusable shopping bags in your car or even a small one in your pocket you don’t even remember using store plastic bags. Or you can usually take a cardboard box from the store to carry stuff in if you’re really stuck.
Capitalist consumerism incentivises laziness in the name of convenience and our environment and health pay the cost. Plastic === cancer
