"The financial incentives to create addictive digital content would instantly disappear, and so would the mechanisms that allow both commercial and political actors to create personalized, reality-distorting bubbles"

This one sentence describes a false premise and shows why it is false. The financial incentives will not disappear, they will just get limited to people willing to pay for the creation of 'personal, reality-distorting bubbles'. There is plenty of people with money who will pay to manipulate the plebs.

If we take this further and say that PR is advertising, then effectively we will be banning the publishing of information which can alter people's opinions in a positive or negative way on any topic.

So... banning advertising is banning speech 🤯

I must be wrong, show me how 😅

Apparently over 1500 database servers were exposing the postgresql port to the internet protected only with a bruteforceable username and password 🤯

The people who hacked this to do crypto mining did those admins a fucking favour.

Prince Andrew accuser, and the most well-known of the victims in the Epstein case, Virginia Giuffre has said on her personal Instagram page that she has four days to live after apparently being involved in a road traffic collision.

I wish I was able to rate limit some accounts. Cool people, I want to follow, but not at the cost of everyone else cause they post 60 times an hour 😅

He looks mildly annoyed with you spoiling his hunt with your presence 😜

Same I guess applies to hospital staff ... even if they just paid a few ppl that organised it.

That time was such a piss take. They train for and shoot dance vids while supposedly are super busy saving lives and we need to let them cut the supermarket queue so they can get back to ... dancing.

I'm sure it is the case sometimes.

I imagine there also exist powerful women and men who find it exciting to find themselves in a situation opposite to their normal circumstance.

If the LLM provides an answer much better than ollama or gpt4all models, and what I need to ask is sensitive then yes.

In practice that means no, sorry.

Genious comeback, can be posted in reply to absolutely everything! ;)

I am unconvinced that the people doing this are in Russia or China (which I think is what you are hinting at).

The US has the most powerful propaganda machine by far - through USAID/CIA, films, music etc. Chances are the very real war for our minds is waged from much closer to home. If you feel Communism is on the rise, it is not because Russia is communist and pushing it, it is because the idea of central planning and control is very attractive to the people pulling the strings of Trump and the Clintons and the like.

And those people would very much like you to think it is Russia and China's fault. After all chances are they will soon ask you to die fighting against them.

Yes, except it is not about left vs right.

The people in power are no longer limiting themselves to jailing significant people who are not in the public eye, like Assange and Reiner Fuellmich. They now feel in position to jail anyone.

If you are justifying this with 'they must have done something to end up in jail', you are part of the problem. What they have done is threaten the establishment.

I am so not looking forward to the sky above my back yard becoming a highway...

"Nostr slowly grows because weirdos find it by rummaging through the bins down the pissy "decentralised web" alleyway."

Meh, weirdo is fair enough, but "pissy decentralised web alleyway"?

It is more like a hidden sanctuary somewhere off the beaten path, where you can breathe easy and be free ;p

Make yourself zappable :)

That's what mainstream media does with people who refuse mRNA jabs etc.

Aggressively ridiculing and bullying people for their opinion is a form of censorship as its goal is to stop them speaking again. It is always wrong.

I was hoping to find a bit more details, but this link only shows 6 officers in front of a house. That's it - no indication why they are there, who they are there for and why. No further info about the whatsapp group or what was said etc.

Nobody will free the people if they don't free themselves.

Even if by some miracle a politician was elected who has the integrity and good will to keep their promises, a single person is trivial to bribe/blackmail/kill.

One of the most common foods in Bulgaria! Every place which has a grill will have them.

I'd love to see a detailed howto on this

That looks like a good solution for one of the biggest problems I have with bitcoin. Awesome!
