Is there a service somewhere on the internet for pooling funds for storage?

Suppose I have this huge amount of valuable digital material that a group of people may be interested in preserving (for example, backups of the TGFN podcast episodes). I could try to save that myself on some storage provider and then make it available for interested parties, but that is too cumbersome and the cost will all be on me and eventually I will lose everything.

But at the same time there may be dozens, even hundreds of people that would also want to help pay for that and more people would join the pool going forward, they could all just contribute and keep the thing alive forever.

There should be a service that abstracted over storage providers and provided an interface for this. Is there such a thing already?

Men complain about most women not being against mass immigration, or unwilling to support mass-deportations, but

1) borders are a question of national defense and that's not our job

2) women are supposed to be naive, do-gooders; that's part of our charm

3) many of us stopped leaving the house years ago

4) the men we personally know are the most-likely to rape us, and most of us only know local guys.

I wonder what the technical side of this would look like. How would the tax transactions even be signed? I don't see how you could tax any amount without essentially controlling the entire amount.

Yo? Jackbox game party in Hivetalk?

Libertarianism is just a set of values. The primary one being that the default is freedom. The default is that no one gets to tell another person how to live.

How can freedom be fetishized? What might be an example?

One thing that I see happening is a devaluing of community. People glamorizing living alone in some bunker somewhere. That isn't healthy. Humans are social creatures, we need community.

what you see is only a mirror 🪞 🫂

It’s so disheartening that I encounter so many people who publicly, proudly announce that they intentionally hold back the autonomy of the person they claim to care about the most in life.

When you truly love someone, you want freedom for them.

what is meant for us will always find its way.

Ya burden would be a good word.

I see these kinds of arrangements and a failure of development and individuation. To become a fully actualized adult you have to take on responsibility for yourself and you have to realize that you don't control others. These arrangements hold us back from that.

Trust is very appealing! it is so wonderful to have a partner that you can trust and rely on! And I think that's what people often mean.

The technical definition of submit is "accept or yield to a superior force or to the authority or will of another person." Certainly that is not healthy in a loving relationship.

I hear people say things like “a wife should be submissive”, “relationships can’t be 50/50, they have to be 51/49”, “the breadwinner/protector is the decision maker”, “the man is the leader", "women need love not respect" etc, etc. And then nearly in the same breath ask “why don’t women want to get married anymore?!?!”

Well ya know, when you are offering people servitude, and they have other options in life, you shouldn’t be surprised when your offer gets turned down. The human spirit wants to be free 🕊️

Would you download a 2 GB LLM model and keep it saved in the phone to use inside of Amethyst?

I asked a person today why they still use a fax machine: Because I can send them a document without having to open my email. I am busy. I don't want to see my inbox. I don't want to type my password. I want to just send them this document and move on.

Have we lost the plot in interface design? 🤔

I thought you just ment to give it a name....had no idea a string was created. Anyway is not working. Amethyst is always crashing everytime I try to zap someone. Coinos is not working.....also. Internal error.
