Not like that. A server name that can be authenticated. Like when you receive an email from your bank (in the metadata), you know it’s legitimate. Each organization can set up their own server to host things they vouch for. With ActivityPub it can be viewed elsewhere with the guarantee that it’s from a trusted source.

It’s called a “name”.

Why would anyone pay for the service? Having a “name” is free, and that dumb worldcoin only works for people. It can’t work for governments or businesses.

ActivityPub is actually a good way to authenticate things. If an organization vouches for something they can post it on their server and it can be viewed elsewhere.

generative AI makes it very easy for anyone to flood the internet with generated text, audio, images, and videos.

And? There’s already way too much data online to read or watch all of it. We could just move to a “watermark” system where everyone takes credit for their contributions. Things without watermarks could just be dismissed, since they have as much authority as an anonymous comment.

That may be because they don’t check the tickets every minute. Once they check it, they get the current price. You should use the airline or hotel site anyway. It’s usually cheaper.

I feel ambivalent about that.

Used for Tik Tok content. Lol. Do people think things are funnier if a dude with a dumb expression is pointing to them?

General connotation of Hell though is that it’s a miserable place

24/7 steam baths and jacuzzis? BBQ? Why is that bad?

I can tell you are an ex-Mormon. You are still thinking like a conservative. You are thinking of a hierarchy where you are more moral than Hitler. You believe it’s unfair that Hitler has a better outcome than you.

I’m asking you to think more like a liberal. Think about the actual outcome. Imagine two restaurants, one has Hitler forever one does not. If given a choice which would you choose? I’m saying that letting in Hitler indicates the quality of people in that location. Wouldn’t spending eternity with people like him be hell?

my parents believe I’ll go to hell without the likes of Hitler

And that’s a bad thing?

The business part is not true. Hoover was a Republican President who loved big businesses. FDR was a Democratic President who enacted many policies to help poor people.

The parties switched up during the Civil Rights Movement. Why does the map include both before and after that time?

I just realized something: since most people have no idea what AI is, it could easily be used to scam people. I think that will be it’s main function originally.

Like the average person does not have access to real time stock data. You could make a fake AI program that pretends to be a trading algorithm and makes a ton of pretend money as the mark watches. The data would be 100% real and verifiable, just picked a few seconds after the the fact.

Since most people care a lot about money, this will be some of the first widespread applications of real time AI. Just tricking people out of money.

Please. The USSR industrialization speed run is unsurpassed. Peasants to the first artificial satellite in 40 years. Also, parts of Russia are still completely undeveloped today!

Uh, a US Government mastodon server wouldn’t have any way to sign up and comment. I assume it would be all one way announcements.

Who cares about randos who want to talk to the president? People were posting dead bodies on Biden’s announcements on Threads.

Compare the stats for the CPU, memory, and hard drive. Every one is slightly different, so I can’t tell you what to get.

Form factor usually doesn’t matter. You’re not going to be looking at it all the time and showing it to people. It’s a desktop.

They’re trying to trick you into not just comparing the specs and deciding on price. Pick a decent brand so you know the chipset is good and just look at the stats.

You usually don’t need a PC that small. For this price ($250) you can just get a Beelink with a better CPU. Or an older model mini PC for $120.

Don’t let these manufacturers convince you that you need their latest and greatest whatever.

They’re also heavy in your pocket and don’t fit in a standard cashier’s drawer. There aren’t enough slots.

The real good idea would be getting rid of pennies and nickels. Those are only useful for giving stores a few extra cents in profit. They set prices at $4.99 instead of $5 so you buy more. Without pennies, they’d have to set the price at $4.90 and lose 9 cents.

Or an immigrant. Or a woman (especially if you’re pregnant). Or if you lived near black people or immigrants. Or if you had long hair. Or maybe the local bank manager just didn’t like you. These were all acceptable reasons to deny your loan application prior to credit scores.

They literally made decisions based on things you can’t control. Banks are now legally prohibited from even asking these things. If you notice, people working at a bank will never ask “where are you from?”
