A Strange Stain in the Sky: How Silicon Valley Is Preparing A Coup Against Democracy (allr.cat)
 

The first, and also the most futuristic techno-utopian one, is the colonisation of Mars. Elon Musk founded Space X in 2002 (Peter Thiel was the first outside investor) with the idea of re-founding humanity. It’s all there: the call to save humanity by turning it into a multi-planetary species, the desire to start from scratch without the legal constraints of Earth, and the will to break with the established order. As you can read, half-hidden, on the terms and conditions page of the Starlink service owned by Space X:

The parties recognize Mars as a free planet and that no Earth-based government has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities.

Here's hoping we send a few of you to prison too.

You make a really good point here. However, is that same anti-indexed nature a boon in the era of Ai site scraping.

It definitely let people create insulated pockets. Is there a chat app that doesn't do that? Telegram?

I have to confess I look forward to removing Fascist farmers and replacing them with corporate farms. I think it'll regulate that market better.

Discord was talking about going public, probably changing their profit incentives. My group and I were talking about setting up a Rocket Chat if that happened. But it has to have IRC compatibility, right? Can IRC provide real-time audio communications? Discord is a failover when in-game communication isn't working for some reason.

I keep an eye for engaging content on reddit and just rip it here. Mastodon and I think even BlueSky ran on repost bots in the early days. People have to find stuff here first.

I think, though, I stuck a Leminal Space link in my bio or upvoted a Luigi and got banned. So, not sure if you can directly link to Leminal over there or not.

This is unironically on reddit right now. People lamenting a place like Lemmy doesn't exist.

I'm less worried about Discord, honestly.

Source on the refrigerated warehouse? I'm super curious about that.
