Yep. It’s more a tech archeology video.

They were. They were literally sent to the branch office in the state. The state didn’t bother to fill the position. So it just sat there in the inbox. As well as the
statecounty voted against putting in systems to alert people.

A mind like a bowling ball. Blunt, smooth, and significantly dense for it’s relatively small size.

Fair assumption given that it’s Dorsey.

It’s licensed under the “unlicense” which is public domain adjacent. But yes Briar exists and I’m not sure what this really does any better that’s any more usable. It’s at least interesting to see that he may have finally understood what decentralized actually means with this though. And competition is always a good thing even if it’s over things that are mostly useless to the public.

It’s not a threat to someone’s health or life. Simply pointing out that he’s a fool to think that similar groups wouldn’t turn on him if they wanted to. All gung ho to try and join them. I think the comment is safe.

Are, are the liberals in the room there with you? Roll your forehead across the keyboard if so. Seriously though. It’s laughable looking at the levels of cognitive dissonance shared between people making arguments like yours and the maga crowd.

It’s definitely limiting. LoRa wan meshed network is more useful. But most people don’t have a LoRa capable device. I could see something like this at a protest or public event at least. If there were enough nodes in the area the network could span hundreds to thousands of feet with the right conditions. But that’s a big ask ATM.

He used different terms in different places. And to be frank, I’m not sure I’d heard about unlicense before. But upon closer look it does seem to be a the goal. Despite not being valid or applicable in a few jurisdictions.

I don’t trust Jack. But this does seem marginally interesting. Actually decentralized, no servers supposedly. We’ll have to see. Again I sure as hell I’m not going to trust dorsey. And he’s got it under some cringey edgelord “unlicense” license which basically appears to be MIT just with a different name. The actual concept seems intriguing. But definitely nothing to get excited about currently.

Trust me the US will start taking from wealthy Americans as well soon enough. Once authoritarian groups burn enough Bridges and goodwill. They always have to scapegoat another group.
It’s pretty hilarious how so many people think that the boot isn’t the problem. The flavor of it is all that matters.

Unless you consider money charisma. I really can’t agree with you or understand where you’re coming from. Anyone who’s ever known the man as a peer or personally pretty much universally hates him for good reason. Including his Ex-Wives, his father, even his children, and that ghoul Peter Thiel.
People liked the concept of boosted Space travel, Electric vehicles, etc. Musk was smart to invest in them. But he had no contribution of note to any of those companies other than his money. No one ever cared for musk anymore than that. And then once his erol-ness was on full display finally the people who had been fooled had to acknowledge reality.

No it isn’t.
The only way for someone to think he was some awkward autistic rizz master. Was to be fooled.
At one point it was possible to not be paying attention. Getting distracted by the smoke screen etc. But even the most basic look into him and his history. No one would ever mistake him for someone with charisma or talent.

How dare they sully the name of president Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho! He cared as president and took actual action to help the country. Getting the best man for the job Not Sure. And saving everyone.
We’d be so lucky is this was idiocracy. Buy it’s not. It’s a straight up fascist Kakistocracy.

Realistically Kansas City and St Louis should break off independent of the state. Leaving the backwards yokels to wallow in their Missouri. But that’s not going to happen either unfortunately. If St Louis even tried the fascists at the national level would mobilize the National Guard to go crack the skulls of brown people as penance.
I’d love to see St Louis do it. But until we start getting organized ourselves and putting together a proper militia. That can be called to any state to stand against the fascists and intimidate them. There are plenty of militias around here unfortunately having known plenty of them. They’d all jump at the chance to serve the fascist.

That would ultimately be administrative. The Only Hope on that front would be for police officers to care enough to be upset. But they by and large don’t care beyond the paycheck. Give them money and tell them who’s skull to cave in and they are on it.

Fuck the fascists in Jeff city
They get to be such cuddly mops when they’re all grown out. Look a bit like Teddy bears. Our little 13 pounder gets carried around so much she hardly walks. But yes she gets a little curly in her eyes that are always annoying
