lorecore··on Oura says it gets government demands for user data
I don't trust them.

lorecore··on Curtis Yarvin and the Political Evolution of Silicon Valley Reactionaries
Yes, our government is fully corrupt and Zionist occupied. There is no voting our way out of it, direct action is required. We probably also agree that the "Russian interference" hoax was little more than propaganda runup to their little adventure in the Ukraine. Liberals have an unfathomable obsession with Russia, China and Iran. The latter is lessening though, as even they are tired of doing Israel's dirty work for them.

Where we probably disagree, but maybe this conversation will shift your perspective, is on ACAB and the BLM riots. Bombing a police station is equally based to storming the Capitol. I also support direct action against ICE. Imho this government is far beyond redemption and should be dissolved.

If anyone is interested in more perspective similar to this, I recommend these two twitter accounts:

I have been encouraged by some of the right wing (not Republican) perspective on Gaza. They were disgusted by the genocide and that's something I can align with. My hope that is in the fight against Zionism we can reach a place of racial harmony and understanding. We all have a common enemy.

If right wingers can have sympathy for Palestinians and Arabs in general, I have hope that they can recognize that Black Americans and Indigenous Americans were treated the same way. Seeing a genocide live-streamed has flushed out those of us who care and those of us who don't, and it turns out there were some unexpected allies (or potential allies) in places you wouldn't expect them.

> the left trying to make this out to be a serious threat played a big part in their loss of credibility.

As a leftist I agree with a lot of what you’re saying, especially the Israeli/neocon influence (to put it mildly).

But, you’re making the same mistake many do on the right. Neoliberals are not “the left”. They are right wing with a patina of left wing messaging (at times). They are warmongering Zionists who love insurance companies and mainstream media. The Democrats are a corporate party. You’ll find more allies on the left (like Massie did) if you make that clear distinction.

For the record, I never gave a shit about Jan 6th. More people should hold our government accountable like that. Their biggest mistake was not grabbing Pelosi’s hard drive and publishing it as a torrent.

lorecore··on Seattle Shield, an intelligence-sharing network operated by the Seattle police
They are pointing out the same thing I am: we are spying on Americans for Israel. Israel’s enemies get surveillance but not the so called “protection” this program uses as a veil for said surveillance.
lorecore··on Seattle Shield, an intelligence-sharing network operated by the Seattle police
Why would an attack on Israel warrant spying on US citizens? We are not Israel and our government should not be working for Israeli interests.
lorecore··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
Attacking Israel is never terrorism. They are invaders on stolen land. It's always legitimate resistance.

> At least we are free to express our ideas in the US and Israel. In Iran, they do not have free speech. The government can and will punish you for speaking against the government. They can make anything seem true just by imprisoning anyone who says otherwise.

Whether this is true or not, is none of my concern. What is my concern is a US backed invasion of other people's territory and Israel's influence on my government. Including Zionist attacks on free speech.

lorecore··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
Israel and Zionism are genuinely unpopular.
lorecore··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
You can’t just label all of Israel’s enemies “terrorists”. The history of the Zionist colony is well know at this point. I’m a US citizen and fully aligned with Iran against Israel and the US presence in the Middle East.
lorecore··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
Iran is more popular than ever before because they've stood up to the Zionists. Have you not seen the Boom Boom Tel Aviv music video? Or the Lego videos?
lorecore··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
It's the US that has been funding Zionist terrorists for decades. It's wild how the generational divide between those who have been subjected to a lifetime of Zionist propaganda vs those of us who have had access to the truth is completely irreconcilable.
lorecore··on Iran starts Bitcoin-backed ship insurance for Hormuz strait
> We can absolutely continue destroying their capacity to do things, but the terrorists do not care about their own people or the world. They will use human shields and continue seeking nuclear weapons. They do not value human life or rules. This is why they can never have a nuclear weapon.

It's the US and Israel that are the "terrorists" and yet both have nuclear weapons. You literally say yourself that we can "continue destroying their capacity to do things", and like your definition of terrorists, the US/Israel are using us (US citizens) as human shields.

The straight was open until the US/Israel attacked Iran without reason (and by bombing an elementary school full of girls).

It is an indisputable fact that you spent years shilling crypto. Why even deny that or threaten(!) someone pointing it out? It was/is a huge, verifiable chunk of your public output.
lorecore··on MCP Hello Page
I think so, but if you wanted to be pedantic you could make the argument that the same resource is not being served with the different Accept header. A welcome page is not the same thing as the JSON returned from the MCP spec.
lorecore··on MCP Hello Page
> I wish the spec had some capability to mitigate for this

I like their solution. It feels like because remote MCP servers are built on HTTP that they are actually using the spec as intended. Serving html when asked for it.

You should be rebasing your PRs before you put them on main though. Test prior to doing that should not be expected to be repeatable.
lorecore··on London Police Deploy Facial Recognition at Protest for First Time
Palestine Action did none of those things. Lying about it may start to give you an answer to your question. I also don’t follow the mythology surrounding religion.
lorecore··on London Police Deploy Facial Recognition at Protest for First Time
I'm staunchly pro-Palestinian, despise Tommy Robinson and still think this is not a good thing. The UK has been draconian with its anti-free speech and surveillance. Even if you hate what this guy stands for (I do), it's only a matter of time before these techniques are used against causes you do stand for.

Somehow I don't think Tommy Robinson would take such an approach to say the classification of Palestine Action as a "terrorist" organization by the UK government though.

lorecore··on Git Is Not Fine
I totally agree. I've never understood the push back against clean "railroad tracks" (i.e. rebasing instead of merge commits). It's simple, scales nicely and gives you a lot of options. Once you start allowing merge commits in the tree, things can get messy but with a bit of discipline, it elegantly solves every version control use-case I can think of, or have encountered, including at scale.

I don’t understand your reply. What does Pakistan have to do with anything? Abolitionists? Abolish what, Israel? Sure, but I’ve never heard anyone refer to themselves like that.

I don’t think it was a key factor in the 2016 election. It’s mostly older people (older than millennials in 2016) who vote.
lorecore··on Anthropic forms $200M partnership with the Gates Foundation
What "great" thing has Bill Gates ever done? He's engaged in predatory business practices, released utterly shite products and is most famous for being an Epstein guy. Obviously a lot of people care judging by the amount of (now flagged) comments about it in this thread.
