You can self host the Tailscale server via Headscale.

Streamlining mostly.

Just dedicate a part of your day to self improvement and when you fulfill that time each day allow yourself to relax. If you spend just 30 minutes to an hour each day to something productive you’re ahead of the game already. Even if you theoretically dedicated every non-working or sleeping hour in your day to building or learning something, you have to understand that there’s only so much you can absorb and retain in a day, only so much energy your body has, and only so much stress your endocrine system can take. Your body and brain need downtime in order to actually commit those things you learned to memory, to replenishing your energy stores for the next day, for flushing the cortisol from your bloodstream.

Those “Get up at 5 am every day and run” types aren’t telling you about the fact that even bodybuilders aren’t going 100% all out every single day. Your muscles grow when you rest and sleep, not while you’re at the gym. If you don’t fit both of these things into your life you won’t get anywhere.

I think you should be able to hit any able bodied person once, without being charged with a crime.

You can’t just beat someone to hell. You’re still on the hook for any civil damages for serious injuries that occur. But if we just let anybody hit anybody else just that one time, I believe society would be a kinder place.

Don’t worry, if and when it fails… you’ll know.

Not at all. The American system is specifically designed to remedy that situation. Until it fails to do so, the experiment continues.

It’s so far still working as a whole. If it were to fail, there’s no resetting it.

This is the purpose of the American Experiment. To devise a society that won’t ever truly be occupied entirely by the worst of us.

I have good news on the Penny front, they stopped making them back in December.

Idk about the rest of that lol

Activitypub is not the only one, no.

The account is 2 days old and this is its only post.

I think a blurb would be a great idea, especially for your project.

I feel like the biggest hurdle for your project is that the people it speaks to, especially the way you market it (analogues to natural, organic things like plants, the purposeful methodology intrinsic to gardening, as well as the nostalgic throwback to a simpler time of the internet when everything was more hand-made and deliberate) are the same people that will be put off by AI, being that it’s the antithesis of those things.

Making your case for why and how it’s used, (IE Not just vibe-coded slop but something that matters a little more to you) might be enough to keep people on board, and maybe give it an honest try.

Not to enable the poor to share in our goods is to steal from them and deprive them of life. the goods we possess are not ours, but theirs.

• St John Chrysostom

The demands of justice must be satisfied first of all; that which is already due in justice is not to be offered as a gift of charity.

• Second Council of the Vatican

When we attend to the needs of those in want, we give them what is theirs, not ours. More than performing works of mercy, we are paying a debt of justice.

• Pope St Gregory

Three quotes referenced in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and just one example of the dissonance between many “Christians” in the U.S. and the faith they purport to follow.

If that doesn’t get them, the fact that the concept of social justice, as in the actual coining of the term as well as the movement against capitalist exploitation brought on by the Industrial Revolution was by the Catholics does lol

The meaning behind it all is very simple, we’re all in this together, and the gifts given to us by God/nature belong to all of us. They’re not for us to hoard, or to exploit others for.

Could you give us a brief overview of the use of AI in the production of Storyden? Like which components are ai-assisted, and to what degree?

I think this is the main sticking point people have with the project, especially since it is apparently in use but it’s not super clear how.

Shopping cart return, grocery bagging, dishwashing etc.

This is the only objectively correct answer in this thread lol.

It does not take any level of skill to do any of those things. It takes effort, for sure.

This is a very optimistic but ultimately baseless “feel-good” take.

I don’t think we should discount the importance of unskilled labor, or even its difficulty, but unskilled labor most certainly does exist.

Funny enough I have a hard time with people who drive at the speed limit, for the exact same reasons.

Does it store uploaded files in plain text on the file system?
