I mean his treatment is no worse than our own being bonded to cell phones and laptops and tv shows. It's kind of the point of the image, to see how you are in a Harlow experiment.

The important thing is she didn't die from the Cartels. Do you know how many politicians have been taken out by cartels in the last year. Just recently in April down in Chipas a cartel got 538 politicians to resign all on the same day and murdered 38.

To be a politician in Mexico from any party you need blessings from the right people.

Super badass considering her opposition got assassinated.

Yes. Keep your eyes peeled.

Basically the site keeps everyone's player in sync. Then you just make a guest name at the bottom of the chat so we can all chat during the movie.

True, but the auth-left is really rabid for authority. Sometimes it's not even very left but it's some "trusted institution" and it's "unamerican" to question it. I say question all power structures. Because if you can't even question them you are in a bad place culturally.

When are people on both the right and left going to learn. There is no one in the middle east who's values actually align with yours. So stop supporting a side and lets get our selves completely out of not our business.

Though genocide is our business so that's the one time we should take a side.

But in everything else where we've taken a side it has been a mistake. Folk on all sides of the middle east project to the west an image they hope will garner sympathy in hopes we will fight wars for them and they can avoid fighting their own wars. "Genuineness" is a uniquely western thing to see as a positive value. Absolutely no culture in the middle east values presenting an honest image of themselves to us. The idea of that being socially positive or necessary for their own sense of ethics is literally foreign to them. I'm not trying to single out Muslim countries or Israel. What I'm saying is we in the west do in fact have values that are particular to us, and we need to stop imagining those values on others. That's why the whole of the middle east is like that. Because they aren't us.

Then the other thing we should understand is that all sides employ what are basically professional communicators who study our culture and use what they understand of it to manipulate us. So we get dragged into problems that aren't ours and expose ourselves to actual security threats as a result.

But under "new-ethics" they are beyond reproach.

 

We are doing another movie night. We are going to select what we watch as we go but we are basically taking the top six from these polls.

I've been hosting movie nights every Saturday and they have been fun. Some of the group decided that doing TV nights would be fun too so we are giving it a go.

We decided to make tonight pretty British. We are doing a mix of Red Dwarf and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

7:30 Eastern, here: https://cytu.be/r/matrixhub.

Feel free to hang out watch and share clips early if you like.

Also feedback on how to make these better is always appreciated.

 

Feel free to show up early if you want to hang out and share clips. People do that earliest about an hour before the movie starts on a good day.

We are watching here: https://cytu.be/r/matrixhub

We’ll probably watch 2-3 movies and vote on what to watch as we go, but you can help me whittle down the selection here https://strawpoll.com/61gDmW16LZw

I’ve been doing these every Saturday.

We're just going to hang out at cytube and watch a few movies, share videos. We are doing it here: https://cytu.be/r/matrixhub

We're going to vote on movies as we go. We're doing: Wild Wild West, Total Recall, The Fifth Element, The Mummy, Legend, Fruits of Passion

Sort of a near 90s theme tonight. Also we'll be hanging out and share clips before that.

Be sure to sign in or pick a guest name so you can chat.

 

Not too long ago Matrix got support for optionally reuploading images. This was largely intended to help move discord images to a better host. But they still get posted even with the option there.

One issue with Discord images is that they have a limited lifespan. It's sort of what the cdn part of the URL means, is that it's a temporally provisioned resource in a content distribution network.

Discord's approach is to encourage users to engage directly with their platform, which is great for their community, but they aren't really interested in offering utility to other sites because their model is a single everything included app with little cross site interaction. That's the why of what they do. The what is links that last about two days.

Matrix is now taking a new approach by identifying temporary image URLs and rehosting them. This means I'll also be adding uguu.se and litter.catbox.moe. If you know of any more common temporary image URLs let me know.

Right move, wrong move, let me know.

It's sort of a different concept. Posts and users also have position in addition to age and score. The sorting algorithm gives you complete control over how much to weight each one. It's like if new and hot existed on a continuous spectrum. It's sort of like what Aaron Swartz initially wanted to do with Reddit where what you like would be able to inform what you might like in the future. But in this case you get complete control over how much that matters.

I'm adding bits and knobs here and there every day. Yesterday I added the ability to have posts that are hidden from the front page. It's probably not a feature people will use every day but it's there if someone wants it and it's things like that I'm working on every day. In a little bit I'm going to add a "post whenever" feature in case someone wants to post a ton of content and have it actually post over time.

I'd say all and all the project has been a success for what I wanted to do with it and I'm happy with what I've built. The other side of it is trying to build community on the site. For example we do a movie night once a week on Saturdays.

Oh. Another thing that is different to most reddit clones is that every community exists. Like you don't have to create a community to post to it. Just post to it. Different capitalization maps to the same community.

You guys should check it out. It would be super awesome if anynone wants to help fill in the more obscure topics.
