Are you an … AI?

Go ahead and show me where in Discovery Space Hitler asks for forgiveness or mourns about the billions of people she had killed. A redemption arc needs to ask for redemption as a first step.

Yes. Killing billions of people is nothing you just regret and go on with your life.

I don’t want to see Space Hitler again. This is against everything that Star Trek stands for.

By choice.

Indeed. For many people it has become some kind of Broicism where alpha Incels talk to each other about how tough they have become and how they’re suppressing their emotions.

That’s of course not what I refer to. I actually read the ancient texts and The Inner Citade by Pierre Hadot. When I talk about stoicism I actually mean it in a way that Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Rufus and Epictetus would agree on.

Stoicism. The philosophical ideas of how to live a purposeful and good life.

The Chinese police in Hungary will take care about this.

No. I’m a huge fan of the nuclear fusion reactor in the sky.

Civil war, because Trump won’t accept the result and Musk will be fueling the hate.

There is no recycling of nuclear waste. Nowhere.

Well, we‘ll never know as Mozilla has never tried to create user financed software since Netscape Navigatior Gold, IIRC.

I have YouTube premium, so that part of my money is distributed to those creators. I also have subscriptions for news sites, podcasts and comics through Patreon and other services.

And to be clear: I don’t have a single problem with advertising — I have a huge problem with tracking me wherever I go online. When I’m on a site for Japanese language learning, show me ads for flights to Japan but stop tracking every website I visit.

I am paying for the services I use.

I am donating regularly to Firefox and Thunderbird. It’s a myth that software can only exist through ads and tracking.

I already have a four day week and it‘s really great to not work on Fridays.

I don’t give a fuck about ads. And so should my browser.

Actually, I do. I have a YouTube Premium subscription and subscriptions for two news sites. And on top of that a ton of Patreon subscriptions and offline memberships. I am the one who knocks pays.

Star Trek has no Universal Basic Income. It has replicators for all your basic needs.

Marcus Aurelius and his reflections on stoicism.

Profit driven social media is the problem.
