  • Yes, I can. But you need much more to accomplish this

    1. You need reach: are there any mods/admins that would feel ok with vouching for your abilities? And preferably have info about your proposal stickied on a bunch of communities where it could reach people open to chip in?
    2. You need to convince those you reach that you’re not a Nigerian Prince. Mod/Admin saying you’re legit could help with it but maybe there’s something more you could do to convince the public?
      Maybe I simply don’t know who you are, maybe in reality you are second in command after Dessalines. But either you are a random dev saying “I can do that” - in this case you need to somehow convince others that you really can. Or you are not recognised for your work - in this case you need to point us to what tie you to. I saw the fedi project on your GitHub so you probably can code (I’m not going to be auditing your project in order to asses your skills, sorry). But are you just a dreamer or are you serious?
      I’m sorry if what I’m saying sounds harsh. I just feel that how you are coming through to the other side gets lost in translation here
    3. GitHub is not the most popular support medium. Why not also have Patreon/Koffi/OpenCollective/etc? Many will chip in easier if they’re already present on the platform









  • That would actually be a good idea. With people growing up and learning on their own, you don’t have a fully controlled system. The world inside the Matrix will be evolving and from time to time there will be some glitch somewhere. If you have a base of defined childhoods, then only physical differences between bodies and random occurences inside are uncontrolled

    If I were to construct the Matrix, I would go after cloning (fewer biological lottery) and predefined lifepaths to keep everything nice and stable


  • Using an analogy, somewhere along the road we came from “your lips will look nice with this lipstick” to “I can’t leave a house without a lipstick on”. And raising awareness about issues is basically a marketing too. It has to be in order to make it through to you among all the other noise. It’s just that this time it’s not you who are not thin/tall/curvy/vibrant/… enough, it’s the world that is not safe/happy/wealthy/just enough. I’m not saying that it’s not true but this has a side effect that when you are overstimulated with the ads and news, it does feel like the world is going to end.

    Think about what would really have to happen to purge us all, 100%. Even climate change, I don’t think could do it. 90% maybe, and sure that would be a change in our world. But still not the end of it. I can’t find the paper now, but we only need something like 1000 random people to survive in order to have enough genetic diversity for the species to survive. Something would have to wipe us all at once to really kill us. Otherwise, we’ll just adapt and carry on.

    And if not. Welp, that’s a chance for the UFOs to thrive. It’s not like humanity is required for the wheels to keep turning








  • I mean that, according to the article, with the way the plugin works right now in order to pass it to ChatGPT you have to make the file accessible to the whole world. From the article it seems that Chat is unable to connect to google cloud with an account that you could limit the access to, the PDF has to be viewable without login
