Saw arco at my indie theater, an excellent movie!

Thats what im saying, its a flawed paradigm were currently using.

Theres a daily time that makes sense for terrestial entities, like ourselves, who through our native sensors can easily detect boundries between days and night and highnoon and with tools and techniques more precision from there - but still the paradigm itself of measuring time as subdivisions of days and further years - is profoundly flawed for entities or concepts which are not dependent on earth - such as servers - who care not when the suns up or down or which season it is - purely that one moments happens after the next in sequential measurable order

Leap seconds are iirelavent to humans and a poor lens to perceive time through for servers. But now with this change to leap hours, theoretically times intended for humans tonperceive can be up to minutes off from reality - it means timing a sunset or sunrise or other earthly and solarly moments are now slightly more nuanced to coordinate.

Personally id have prefered all analog clocks to simply be centered on its local high noon - and then all coordinating systems like logistics, transport, servers, and so on to just use epoch time (or some more readable equivalent thats seperate from earthly physical days and years)

This feels odd, id expect scientists to urge for closer unity with reality - this further distances us from it.

If we just wanted to skip leapseconds, we could have created a different paradigm not based on earths daily rotation, such as epoch time or based on some other observable and more stable instance - instead now well just be talking two orders of magnitude less precisly about our own world because we got frustrated adding leap seconds to account for our already innapropriate paradigm.

They solved this problem with ductape, and with the offbrand stuff that really makes it all look ratty and bad

And let the star wars begin, maybe the coming kessler syndrome and with the inability to escape Earth, the elites will finally take this planet seriously. I cant beleive these fucking losers run the place.

Oh are you saying its just a brand licensing?

Edit: seems so, went motorolla -> google -> arris/lenovo

Hearing that grapheneOS is trusting their next gen hardware to motorola, meanwhile motorola is seemingly creating the next survilience state, isnt there an odd conflict of interest? Has graphene addressed that yet?

Nothing is too big to fail

Is a balloon ever too big to pop?

No, let it pop, let it burn, let it rot, and lets learn the lesson this time

We must accept our consequences so that we can finally actually move foward

Wild stuff, thanks

I think ive missed a reference, how does that link contribute to ddosing?

I am forced to use claude daily at work, it smells like claude

Do make sure to retry freecad if you havent in a while - they finally merged their big update that made faces not break - its still got a learning curve but its far less frustrating now

I was having this exact conversation with one of the archetects in my company - top down orders were to start integrating llm’s into our engineering workflows - so be it, they sign my paychecks and selfishly i want those to keep flowing - but beyond the quality and slop concerns i had already raised and were disregarded, i was realizing that i was losing my intuition about the code i was releasing under my name - it takes me longer to answer questions and i cant just wing my answers based on the intuition built during development because i didnt build intuition during development when development was outsourced to the llm - thats a liability im trying to highlight to managment and their risk analysis and also to myself for risk reduction

Intuition isnt made in documentation (nor the slopdocs llms makes that no sane person will ever actually read) - its built by the effort of comprehension and theyll be no shortcut to that

I love meshcore, have a repeater and im building out my local mesh - such a shame about andy overstepping and slopping such an important thing - thanks for this psa

Genuinely decentralized and resilient communication is fundamental to individuality and resistence against authority - for andy to try and assert himself and coopt larger authorities into this is frankly disgusting and i appreciate the explicit splitting off from him - hes acting dangerously wether he knows it or not.

Does he try to look like the devil, or does that apperance just like, manifest itself after doing enough evil?

Its a really interesting technique!

NASA or NSA?

As long as they dont shove it down our throats, and then expand and expand and expand the features that are in their paid tier, and make you feel lesser for choosing their local only unpaid mode, and dont make the unpaid mode inconvenient with dark patterns.

Its happened too much, I’ve asked my friends to hop through so many different platforms over the years and decades

It always starts with something thats reasonable, and every time thus far, it expands into something I hate.

$500 per week - 500x48=24k with 4 weeks of thankfully “unpaid” vacation

That’s not what I am saying.

In my opinion the forum is a altruistic area. Is the value I provide tailoring the posts by up voting and down voting not valuable? Is the value I provide by summarizing and or giving interpretations of the articles posted here not valuable? Or engaging in thoughtful honest discussion not valuable?

I believe they are.

Do I feel entitled to some profit because of my input on this forum? No I do not.

I give this work because I provide my value to this site voluntarily, honestly, many hours of my day, altruisticly, to build a better community and discussion. I don’t demand money because I receive a community in return.

What I am saying is that this kind of stuff will segment our community, by creating a profitable segment of the community and an unprofitable segment of community, implicitly creating a “correct” and “incorrect” way. Beyond that it will introduce people to our community who care less about furthering this forum, and more about making profit.

Remember YouTube before the partner program and video responses and how much more engaged and equal that community was? And what it is now with most every prominent channel being sponsored on top of ad breaks and product placement?

Obviously, if a person wants to dedicate their full time to some art and wants money for it, they should, and I’m excited for what they produce, but this is not where to do it.

But you don’t have vibrant thoughtful debates about world events in target, you don’t purchase microwaves at the library. You go to stores to buy stuff, you go to forums to discuss stuff.

Content creators can create their own site, their own patreon, or whatever - they can freely submit their work to our forum for feedback and an audience, and they can even link someone the link to their store if they ask - but introducing the profit angle directly to our forum and integrating it in will be the beginning of the end for this community as it is. The first crack of enshitification.

Fuck the commodification of culture.

Fuck full time content creators.

I don’t want people working full time on social networks. I don’t want to read your ad, your secret knowledge, your product placement, or sponsorship, or your oh so subtle pitch for VC funding. I’m certainly not going to give money.

I want people who do their own thing in the real world, and as a hobby and show-and-tell, submit their work freely to the Internet to hone and expand their craft and field, and gain organic enrichment altruisticly.

If you want to sell stuff and make money, make your own website and store. Not on our forum.

Don’t pollute our forum. I want to be inspired, be in awe, be entertained, be informed, and to give back in my own way that continues this cycle and fuels the forum.

We’ve fled so many greedy sites - fleeing this capitalistic parasite in hopes of finding honest discussion untainted by greed. I’m tired of fleeing.
