This is mental illness not introversion. You don’t get anxious about other things you don’t like. You might not enjoy playing board games or Russian literature. Does it stress you out and make you anxious? Probably not. You just don’t care.

Written like an alien trying to understand friendship

I would rather follow in the steps of uncle Ted than let AI turn me in a homeless person. It’s no consolation that my tent will have a nice view of a lunar colony

Why do you think you’ll be able to afford healthcare? The new medicine is for the AI owners

Terrifying. This news makes me happy I save all my money. My only hope for the future is that I can retire early before I’m unemployable

Fixed as of a few minutes ago. Thanks oncalls. Sweet dreams :)

I love the idea but the globohomo art needs to go. Nobody wants to see that

It’s a way for developers to sell products to each other in a big circle without actually producing anything

> If you love farming more than anything, moving to flyover country and make your living doing that is entirely possible

Do you really believe this?

I spend around 25% of my income

> why is money such a big point in this article?

There’s no such thing as a reasonable quality of life on an average income anymore. People who don’t prioritize money will live like poor students for the rest of their lives renting with roommates. They will never have a family, healthcare, hobbies, or respect from their community.

Stop pretending that not prioritizing money is an option. It’s incredibly condescending. In most parts of most developed countries you need at least a top 20% income just to live with dignity.

Extremely out of touch and not useful at all. He needs to learn how to tell when he has something important to say and when he’s just yapping. How can he think making just a little bit of money is even an option? I have a very high income and I still can’t afford a home. I can’t even imagine how terrible my life would be if I took risks.

and also to me today, but none of that matters as long as I still get paid

I get really bad insomnia if I use it heavily for a while and then quit. Also constantly sweaty palms and feet like hyperhydrosis. I don’t have any cravings for it though and it goes away after around a week.

I love it. I’d like to make something similar.

> One million people from all over the world have used SpaceHey so far - an independently run platform that does not track you and does not show you personalized feeds nor ads.

Does anyone here know how it’s funded or what this would cost to host?

This has a diagram showing the funding structure with 5 layers of bureaucracy between donors and the recipients of aid. This organization reduces that to 3 (The “coalition” that owns the website -> financial service providers -> mutual aid societies -> actual people in need).

So I ask again, have these people actually requested your help? How do you know what they actually need? Maybe the best solution is a way to gtfo of Sudan and let it collapse. Maybe they want weapons or chickens. I don’t know!

Have they asked you for help? Mind your own business

Stop caring about this. You should be happy that people think your project is useful.

Reddit bans users for posting pretty much anything and then puts 0 barriers in place to stop them from making new accounts. Reddit recently removed the option to skip entering an email, but they still do nothing to verify the email address of new accounts. I make a new account every time I want to post and use a new as@df.xyz variant each time. Maybe 1/5 of my comments get through the filter though. I get responses from real users so I know it’s true

I’m sorry for being negative. I just wanted to rant about people who try to schedule friendship on a calendar.

This sounds reasonable and I wish you good luck

I’m not interested in having a publisher vs platform debate. You know what I mean.

I put a generic “out of office” block on my calendar if I have personal business and it’s rare enough that I don’t get why it needs a solution. Maybe other people are scheduling things during work hours a lot more often than me?

I don’t agree that internet platforms deserve to be in their own special category which is uniquely required to police bad content. The only reason it happens is because it’s not politically or technically feasible to do it when the message comes through another medium.

I think it’s wrong on social media for the exact same reason it’s wrong to arrest power companies if a guy staples printed CSAM to a utility pole. Same thing for monitoring private phone calls. We know that AI can detect people talking about terrorism on the phone and cameras can monitor paper ads and newsletters in public spaces, but nobody would advocate for making this a legal requirement because it’s insane. The fact that nobody cares is proof that the public does value privacy and free speech. Why are so many of them tricked into thinking the internet is an exception?

I want people to commit to their beliefs and either admit they want surveillance wherever it’s technically feasible or give up and recognize that internet surveillance is also wrong. No more of this “surveillance is good but legacy platforms are exempt” waffling. Very frustrating and only serves the interests of people who already have power

I know. That’s obviously true, but I hate that it happens and it makes no sense to me why more people aren’t upset by it. What I’m trying to get at is that complying with rules that are stupid, ineffective, and unfair is not a good thing and anyone who thinks these goals are reasonable should apply them to equivalent services to realize they’re bad. Cooperation with law enforcement is morally neutral and not important.

The real goal is hurting anyone that’s not aligned with people in power regardless of who is getting helped or harmed. Everyone knows this but so many people in this thread are lying about it.

They try to work with me but I cancel their meeting requests and deal with them through email. We should all be doing this

I don’t have a personal calendar and my work calendar ends at 5. I think your market is a lot smaller than you think. The kind of people who ask friends to book time on their calendar are considered freaks anywhere outside of tech hubs

But why don’t they arrest them for allowing it to happen? Phone calls should be actively moderated to block customers who speak about terrorist activity.

Why don’t they arrest telecom CEOs for allowing terrorists to have uncensored phone calls with each other?

Everyone knows why and you’re not being naive

I did have friends lol. I was just a bit of an outsider from then through the end of high school. I didn’t correct it until midway through uni and I think I missed out on a lot
