Please do not make this another 2016, and assume Kamila will win.

The Russian bots are out in full force to pacify voters that "they have this in the bag". This is an indication that the only way we lose is by not voting. And the sentiment is changing, I see calls to vote less and less now, and comments assuming Kamila has already won more and more.

It's not over till it's over.

Bug fixing only if it's actually bug fixing and not just plumbing debugging where you're not actually debugging you're just hunting for a misconfiguration for hours or days.

Incels at least is a natural consequence of the difference between society's expectations, the needs of an individual, and generally the lack of support and or direct toxicity towards men who need help and emotional support men require as humans.

That one is a societal problem around isolating people away from affection.

The rest I have no freaking clue how one becomes a Nazi in 2024.

You literally can't.

There's a ton of stuff you can't do with the new garbage settings.

Let's not even mention that on an operating system called "Windows" you can only have one "window" of settings open. And opening new settings will just replace where you just where. Which is extremely rage inducing.

I very specifically want an app that collates all the information that can possibly be gathered about me in a way that I can utilize and abuse it myself. For me there is a lot of utility and value to be found with this sort of thing.

Of course the security posture of said app needs to be rather robust. And instead of it being an app it should instead be an SDK that I can then choose and control my own storage medium for.

I hope it happens one day, but that's an almost insurmountable task given the scale.

Take the entirety of the fediverse, and it's entire history, and you're probably talking a days worth of search engine indexing compute & storage.

The scale is large and the fediverse is incredibly small. Keeping my fingers crossed, but definitely not holding my breath.

In the meantime, I'll use Kagi.

My current spouse and I have full transparency with each other about our socials :)

It just organically happened over many years. There is no distrust if we're on each other's phones, and we respect stated boundaries.

It's nice.

No, it sums up a very specific type of AI...
