Depends what your goal is. Revolt seems pretty cool, but I don’t think it has any kind of encryption. It is based in Europe, though, so it gets GDPR protection, and it’s open source, so it could be forked to fit other needs and uses.
If I could upvote your comment five times for promoting libraries, I would!
I dunno if I’d call that naive, but I’m sure you’ll agree that you are reading a lot into it on your own; you are the one giving those statements extra meaning, and I think it’s very generous of you to do so.
I’m also neurodivergent. This is not neurodivergence on display, this is a person who has mentally diverged from reality. It’s word salad.
I appreciate your perspective on recursion, though I think your philosophical generosity is misplaced. Just look at the following sentence he spoke:
And if you’re recursive, the non-governmental system isolates you, mirrors you, and replaces you.
This sentence explicitly states that some people can be recursive, and it implies that some people cannot be recursive. But people are not recursive at all. Their thinking might be, as you pointed out; intangible concepts might be recursive, but tangible things themselves are not recursive—they simply are what they are. It’s the same as saying an orange is recursive, or a melody is recursive. It’s nonsense.
And what’s that last bit about being isolated, mirrored, and replaced? It’s anyone’s guess, and it sounds an awful lot like someone with paranoid delusions about secret organizations pulling unseen strings from the shadows.
I think it’s good you have a generous spirit, but I think you’re just casting your pearls before swine, in this case.
And you’re not the boss of me. Hmmm, maybe we do recur… /s
I’m a developer, and this is 100% word salad.
“It doesn’t suppress content,” he continues. “It suppresses recursion. If you don’t know what recursion means, you’re in the majority. I didn’t either until I started my walk. And if you’re recursive, the non-governmental system isolates you, mirrors you, and replaces you. …”
This is actual nonsense. Recursion has to do with algorithms, and it’s when you call a function from within itself.
def func_a(input=True):
if input is True:
func_a(True)
else:
return False
My program above would recur infinitely, but hopefully you can get the gist.
Anyway, it sounds like he’s talking about people, not algorithms. People can’t recur. We aren’t “recursive,” so whatever he thinks he means, it isn’t based in reality. That plus the nebulous talk of being replaced by some unseen entity reek of paranoid delusions.
I’m not saying that is what he has, but it sure does have a similar appearance, and if he is in his right mind (doubt it), he doesn’t have any clue what he’s talking about.
Inb4 “AI Delusion Disorder” gets added to a future DSM edition
I have no love for the ultra-wealthy, and this feckless tech bro is no exception, but this story is a cautionary tale for anyone who thinks ChatGPT or any other chatbot is even a half-decent replacement for therapy.
It’s not, and study after study, expert after expert continues to reinforce that reality. I understand that therapy is expensive, and it’s not always easy to find a good therapist, but you’d be better off reading a book or finding a support group than deluding yourself with one of these AI chatbots.
Fuck, imagine being so rich and bored, the only entertainment you have left is becoming a supervillain who ruins the world.
You can tell how fucked you are as a country when ostensibly tech-related outlets are writing about constitutional law, because they’re part of the few remaining outlets that aren’t (yet) under attack.
Not saying they’re not good or correct, but it shows that the 4th Estate is not okay.
It cannot be overstated the damage that Leonard Leo has done to the rule of law and society in general in the US. I hope his “contributions” do not escape the notice of future historians.
Also, you’d have to work for Xitter and explain to future employers why you chose to work for an open fascist that facilitated the economic recession of the mid-2020s.
Same. I have my eye on Cosmic and will likely be hopping over, since I’ve essentially set up Gnome to work a lot like Cosmic
I’d like a distro that’s a bit more Linux-y
Not sure what this means. If you want more of a sense of it being “yours,” try installing Arch from scratch (in a VM first). Otherwise, maybe try something like CachyOS, PikaOS, or EndeavorOS. Find a Desktop Environment you like and dig in for a bit.
I always recommend trying different ones in a VM first. You can see what the install experience is like, what the DE feels like, etc. and uninstall non-destructively if you don’t like it. Once you have a sense of what you like, try a Live ISO on a thumb drive, then install if it feels right.
There’s TWMs which to me is what makes the linux experience, but those aren’t for beginners and I wouldn’t recommend you start with that
Gnome has an extension called PaperWM, and it’s a fantastic middle ground between common stacking WMs and tiling WMs. It’s probably most similar to River WM. I use it, and it’s been a game changer.
FYI, if you want to help get people on the tiling bandwagon!
I agree with you, but OP didn’t make that explicitly clear; being a total stranger and given the number of people who unironically promote everything from long-debunked conspiracy theories to outright lies, I do not see why anyone should assume somebody is joking rather than in earnest.
You’re welcome to infer that OP is being sarcastic, but they haven’t made a comment on the matter either way.
My vote is for two:
I thought they were serious, too.
I went to CachyOS on my desktop full time this year. Already had Bazzite on a laptop.
There’s been a few hiccups here and there, but nothing insurmountable with a little patience and practice and reading.
Exactly. You can’t just go off of vibes or self-reporting.
It sucks that the data needed to be collected at all, but it’s not the fault of people who actually cared that fascists are now taking their work and using it to further fascism.
