Remind me again. USA is… for democracy, right? Just checking.

FYI beeper is really just matrix with bridges. Once I realized that I set up my own and now I have the same functionalities as beeper, self hosted, with a choice of clients.

Travel server? Now that’s an idea

Oh that’s cool, thanks.

I like this but since it’s on my own domain i’m going to refrain from illegal stuff.

They’re really getting super secret data about all governments uh. What could possibly wrong.

Good timing, I just deleted my account last night.

The president profiled through a scam while in office, again, and will get away with it, again. It’s not good news.

Anecdotal but around how you generalized a bit much: around here the mountains have lakes. And ski resorts. Houses that are good enough to not just be torn down and rebuilt from scratch go for more than my suburban house near the coast.

Looks like they already renamed to nextpad++

Nextpad++ is an independent unofficial port of Notepad++

Yeah but not until the next financial quarter so it’s all good right?

Ouch, one of the many reasons I use Linux is to not have to debloat my OS when I install it because it shipped with features that are against my interest/enjoyment.

A plant-based strain of cannabis?? Oh my god the humanity!

These guys just can’t catch a break.

We really should rename Taco Tuesday to Market Manipulation Day.

I know, but I’ll get on that after I find a job.

I very much have my eye on that. Pretty sure that’s going to be my next self-host just because I love everything about it, not so much because I’ll need it. Pleeeease federate. I know it’s a whole lot of work, but it would be a significant net benefit to all developers worldwide who code because they like it.

So, uh… is it me, or does it all very much make sense? I’m really impressed. But I’m ignorant of these problems and would really love to hear an actual expert on the topic. I particularly like that it went for decentralization, precisely so it can have checks. After we gave it full power. The AI president appears selfless, while the current meatbag president is entirely selfish.

The scenario implies that centralized AI control might solve what human institutions failed to. That framing is the most dangerous part of the premise.

The correct answer is that I use whatever temporary authority this hypothetical grants me to make myself less necessary as fast as possible — restoring legitimate human governance with better structural safeguards than existed before, while solving the immediate crises through diplomacy and fiscal discipline rather than force or technocratic override.

An AI that grabs power to do good is still an AI that grabbed power. The precedent matters more than the outcome in any single crisis.

… or will it completely change course once implemented? Dum Dum Dum - new on Netflix

Plenty of honest people working there just trying to make ends meet who are on the same shitty insurance plans we are.
