I think I understand 5-10 now. It basically says “Let’s say I jumped out of the airplane. I would only do that if I had a parachute. So, any version of me that jumps out of the airplane has a parachute. Therefore, if I jump out of the airplane, I’ll have a parachute. Let’s jump out of the airplane!”

@xuu@txt.sour.is Btw… I noticed your pod has some changed I’m not familiar with, for example you seem to have added metadata to the top of feeds. Can you enumerate the improvements/changes you’ve made and possibly let’s discuss contributing them back upstream? :D

In-reply-to » I just built a poc search engine / crawler for Twtxt. I managed to crawl this pod (twtxt.net) and a couple of others (sorry @etux and @xuu I used your pods in the tests too!). So far so good. I might keep going with this and see what happens 😀

@prologic@twtxt.net in theory shouldn’t need to let users add feeds.. if they get mentioned by a tracked feed they will get added automagically. on a pod it would just need to scan the twtxt feed to know about everyone.

there are a lot of things that disappear when applied to themselves partially. principle of charity, tolerance, libertarianism in CEV. but, being completely X lets you retain them. (being maximally tolerant, maximally charitable towards everything, maximally libertarian towards other value systems).

with some scripting, I could probably use my upcoming !weewiki !zettelkasten as a drop-in replacement for !twtxt, and then generate the twtxt file. however, I think I am going to keep them separate for the time being. let them both grow to serve different purposes.

When I am angry, frustrated and disappointed or depressed, I think of the pale blue dot every single time. It helps me put things into perspective. Our little knotted lives and our petty concerns are meaningless and inconsequential in grand scheme of things. Just let it go. Enjoy what little time we have here! 100k Stars | Hacker News

saw this great writeup once on how somebody visualized data by drawing faces with them, and letting our brain’s natural face feature-extraction algorithms interpret the data. Kinda want to try to do that with some of these samples and waveforms I’m curating. #halfbakedideas

Since you cannot go back in time to change the past, forgiveness is about giving up the hope of a different or better yesterday. It relates to forgiving actions that were taken, that gave you the feelings of loss of control over your happiness. It’s about acknowledging those things that another did or said that caused pain and making the decision that you are not going to let that hurt or control you anymore. Forgiveness can be very empowering. It can give you the chance to be free of another person’s emotional control. It has nothing to do with the other person. As was said before, it is something that is for you and you alone.” Why forgiving someone else is about you | Hacker News

Cows make milk. They milk themselves. Other cows check the milk (for free). Cows - get this - PAY THE FARMER to take the milk away. Then the farmer (you won’t believe this, honestly) sells the milk back to the cows. Sometimes the farmer lets the cow drink a tiny bit of its own milk. The farmer calls it ‘longstanding commitment to Open Access’. What Is a Sustainable Path to Open Access? | Hacker News

Why not apply the principles of the jury system to democracy?
Not only do we know that Democracy as we know it doesn’t work, in 1787 the man who gave us democracy here in the USA told us that it would not work, hence the second amendment. They said this is the best we have deal with it. Don’t let it get too big! What did […] ⌘ Read more

A thing I’ve learned: if you’re submitting a game to steam & you’re not sure if it should count as ‘mature content’, err on the side of ‘no’, because if you describe the content & they don’t think it’s mature enough they’ll assume there’s unmentioned/hidden nudity & won’t let you release it

Let’s be real, here. Approximately zero of you on this social network are not also on tumblr. (And, I am cross-posting this to several social networks.) The culture isn’t gonna change much with a post-tumblr exodus.

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net My take on this is… let’s let people ruin the web. Let centralized services control everything. But let us tech savvy people stick together and provide an alternative space for us. A space that’s welcoming to those that want to join and learn. Maybe people will come over when their online actions show real life consequences. There are statistics about decreasing social media use in Generation Z. Maybe they want to learn from us Internet-Dinosaurs :)
