In Memex crowd thinking environment for thoughts unthinkable to separate beings, human-machine general intelligence raises superintelligent offspring to help all life.
Artificial scarcity is a crime against humanity. Piracy is the first aid. The solution would be a system that pays for the value produced anywhere in society, including when a copy is used to have fun or make profit. Movie makers would get paid more if they received good ratings from consumers. News Corp would get fined for destroying value.
Portion of those studies disprove the obvious, which is why they keep trying.
So how come brittle glass is useful for fibre optic data cable? Thinness, that’s why. Superconductors don’t need to be thick either, because of the “super”. Also, multi-strand.
Quora had heckloads of users before the well-working topic system was destroyed with the excuse of tag spamming (real reason: cost-cutting), which us tedium-loving “Topic Gnomes” had always corrected quickly. So it’s not impossible. Now the tagging is done badly by “AI” and my feed content went to shit, even worse than on PieFed with a leaky keyword mute list.
Missing features were a trust system for topic editors (new user = 0 trust, etc.) and answer topic tagging - only the questions were tagged, which didn’t work when the question was general, like “What should you know in 2025?” and the specific answers were all over the place.
Keywords would never have worked for the infinite questions about perpetual motion machines, because the askers never knew the correct term. Similarly, I have failed to craft a keyword block list to filter out all U.S. politics.
European spyware is the least likely to be used to attack Europe.

They’ll make a dystopia despite lacking someone’s personal data.
Yes, it’s a problem when you’re the last seeder. Torrents are shared in blocks of data, not files. When a file is missing, the whole block containing it is not sent. If you delete a tiny file before a big video file, the video will be broken for downloaders because the first block contains the tiny file and the video file’s beginning with the index with video metadata, without which the video becomes unplayable.
Ah, of course, plant growth season makes the line squiggle.
That was yesterday. It’s about 428 now. The line goes straight up, as capitalism demands.

… those that are older, male or hold “right-wing” political views – are less likely to report feeling …
“Feelings are for pussies! Am I right, boys?”
Worked for a notorious backstabber, got stabbed in the back. Is this the right time for victim blaming?
Not Fediverse, but an example of what works:
Quora used to have a fantastic crowd-edited question topic ontology/taxonomy for feed shaping with thousands of disambiguated topics interlinked in a graph/tree structure, but they enshittified the system away 2023, and now it’s all LLM misunderstandings of what the question topics should be. The bot thinks a question is about apples when the question is a mathematics word puzzle; “How many apples…”. The excuse for AI tagging was “tags can be abused” when in reality the crowd corrected the abuses quickly and reported the offenders. With the new AI tagger, my feed turned into viral trash from Quora-celebrities, mostly about current news.
They never made the obviously needed features of:
everything is made with fossil fuels and we need them
So let’s stop burning them?
It would require replacing the money system with a value production estimation and reward system.
I don’t support an upper limit for income. I want wealth tax and inheritance tax to prevent excessive accumulation.
