It's not fossilized, it's just that no one uses it. Put hot chicks on there or make it mandatory for logging into Slack and suddenly everyone will be using keybase.io, and honestly I think web of trust is a good idea and if a webapp can make it seem easy or intuitive then I'm all for it.
We're scratching our heads wondering why there's no forward motion when it's simply that no one is pushing it.
Yes. Older people do not become less inquisitive and eager to learn, they just become less open to hype as they've seen whatever younger folks think is the new hot idea several times before, just in different shapes and sizes.
However, with AI we're truly seeing something new that we had not seen before (the AI of the 80's, 90's and 2000's was interesting but it never managed to do anything truly generalist - it was mostly able to get good at a very narrow, specific activity, very different from today's LLMs), so I feel just as curious and eager to "learn it" as I was eager to learn, say, Functional Programming in my 20's and Neural Networks in my 30's.
Fluid intelligence peaks early (20s) but crystallized intelligence peaks much later (50s-60s), and it's not like you can't crystallize a desire to continue to learn, even if you're potentially less creative from a raw intelligence perspective.
Then don't. No one is putting a gun to your head and making you use groomer Discord or roblox aka pedoblox. Pedoblox is a fetid swamp of groomers that needs to be nuked from orbit.
I honestly just want Intel to fail. I believe they have done more anticompetitive harm than good these past years. Datacenter needs to move to ARM so Intel can finally go home.
I don't trust Asahi after the whole Asahi Lina thing. Lina being an alt in denial of her other identity is a big red flag. If Hector was honest about it I would feel differently. The deception behind the Lina identity is very weird to me.
I'm not sure what Hector's personal choices have to do with not "trusting" a piece of software? It's open source, so if you don't trust the quality of the software, then just inspect it yourself?
Also, FWIW: Hector/Lina is no longer associated with Asahi anymore.
> According to Discord, only a small number of users were part of this test, in which any information submitted could be stored for up to seven days before it would be deleted.
Ah yes, we only store it for 7 days. During those 7 days, we pass it to Persona, and who knows how long they keep it!
The way I read that is Discord would delete your data, but they were taking an intentionally hands off approach to the data broker they subcontracted to identify you.
If a tech company says something to you, and they don't give you the means to verify it on your own, they are lying to you. Do not trust anything they say, ever.
Shit like that makes me cringe. Muh food. Already I know what kind of shallow life the author leads, one full of inessential frippery, whose discussions over dinner or drink never orbit anything actually substantial.
What shall we decide on the important matters of eating or drinking tonight fellow humans???
