I have this crazy idea that only makes sense in the 80s and 90s, but has never been done as far as I know.

You know how when you call a business or some other organization you get an automated phone menu? What if someone used an automated phone menu and made an adventure game or RPG with it? It could even be multiplayer.

It sounds like a cool concept. I could imagine an alternate timeline where those types of games enjoyed a niche back in the 80s or 90s, but I can't see that happening today.

I don’t buy a single goddamn word of the official Charlie Kirk assassination story.

I don’t know what really happened, and I’m fine saying I don’t know.

What I do know is when I’m being handled. This is handling.

The cover up is disgustingly sloppy and insultingly obvious. The idea that we’d buy it is offensive.

Elites trade our attention like currency. They think if they move fast enough the crowd will clap on cue. They keep pretending we’re gullible enough to swallow it whole.

You are not a focus group. You are not cattle. Own your attention. Own your outrage. Refuse to rent them your mind like the good little drones they think you are.

Wake the fuck up.

Knowing him, he probably has some Charlie Kirk sniping game in the works.

Why is it that you can be fired for talking about your politics online, but almost nobody gets fired for putting political signs on their front yard?

@wowaname@freesoftwareextremist.com @gabriel@fedi.libresolutions.network the fact you can't even say lunduke's name in official comm channels in most FOSS projects is a very big indication of who has all the power in this (it's lunduke). he's treated like the boogyman who causes the gnome trannies to die if you say his (lunduke's) name 3 times in one post.

I'm 100% okay with Clemson University not firing professors for their comments on Charlie Kirk, provided that they are 100% consistent on their hard free-speech stance.

If I were running a business right now, my policy would be that my employees would have to put "Opinions are my own" on their real name social media accounts and I would let them say whatever they want. I don't think harmful opinions from employees alone has ever hurt businesses in the long run.

I finally got some good text AI working! way easier than expected, too. before i was trying to use koboldAI and silly tavern and shit and it was an absolute ballache to set up only for it to not work in the end.
but i found this thing, HammerAI, that actually just flawlessly works. i'm amazed.

i'm sure you can do more with the aforementioned options, but this shit just works and it works well so i'm happy with it.

Well it looks like the whole Nepal story is going to remain under most people's radar.

Also, apparently Rand Paul exposed what everyone knew about Fauci and COVID, but it seems like nobody is going to care about that either.

HEADS UP! My personal Misskey instance at mk.gabe.rocks is DEAD.
If you followed @gabriel that profile is never going to work again.
I apologize for the lack of a smooth transition, it was entirely a skill issue on my part.
