Who knows? Like, the world is very different from how it’s been presented to me if that’s the case. Corporations can own people and feed them highly produced gas lighting false realities? I’d be terrified. In the reality presented to me we’re on the brink of another world war. If that’s not real but there other is, then it sounds like the bad guys won a long time ago.

Do you feel that way because you’re being abused? Or do you feel that way because you might be an undiagnosed psychopath (and I do mean that in the clinical sense)? Because that’s two very different things.

I’m not qualified to tell you what to do if it’s the former; I don’t know how unsafe you are but I would encourage you to get out of the situation. I hope others can be mor helpful.

If it’s the latter, then you need to start seeing a therapist. If you want to be able to continue to be a part of civil society, you’ll need to do a lot of work to curtail those impulses. Again, like the other scenario I hope others more qualified than I can be more helpful

More than one person has called him “Scam” Altman.

That’s got a ring to it

yeah, I remember the first time I played The Dark Mod and thought: Holy shit, they really nailed the fidelity of the original! Then I was finally able to get Thief: Gold running and realized that TDM actually looks leagues better than the original lol

Thief: Gold

The Dark Mod scratches that itch very well most of the time, but the OG had better story telling across multiple missions

Oh dang, I didn’t realize you had editorialized the headline yourself and thought the Times actually had the balls to call them terrorist bombings

Yes, lucidity is more of a spectrum than a binary

Data compression pretty much already works like this. The most likely reason is that data compression given current encoding paradigms is already about as good as it can be. The kinds of parameter notations you speak of would probably not result in a greater compression than existing algorithms

Jfc, I’m not the original person who started this thread.

But if you’re a child who needs it broken down:

1. forums such as lemmy allow users to create multiple accounts
2. each account a person has access to is a potential vote
3. casual honest users will then likely just have one vote
4. whereas terminally online jerkoffs like you sound like will have a dozen or more accounts and votes
5. therefore, it’s not a good system for enforcing any kind of egalitarianism.

You might as well ask why we need login accounts at all. If you want to see what happens with such systems, you need only look at 4chan.

Now, fuck off I’m done with this thread

Eh, it’s pretty straight forward

The AT protocol is open, though

Not really. In that metaphor it’s more like, “I chose the McDonald’s down at the corner to get my Big Mac instead of the one across town.”

Why are you interpreting this as a power grab?

Go easy on the thesaurus, kid.

Always the hallmark of a real contender. Oh, did I say “hallmark”? Hope that doesn’t cause you to stumble. “Stumble” means to trip while walking; in this case it’s a metaphor for thinking.

Hope that was clear enough for you.

Nice strawman argument

Huh. Considering the primary point of the video was how open signups are bad, I don’t know why you contradicted your comment on the other thread and said this video has no valid point.

So nice self-contradiction I guess?

Lol, if you think that absolutely open sign ups on instances isn’t a problem, then thanks for advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions
