In 2003 I was somewhere south of Fort Worth, TX, having visited Dinosaur World, and shortly after leaving we stopped at a cafe that had three computers out which you could use. I l…

https://toutdo.com/ Though it's for my "business", I don't get any customers. But it does lay out my personal vision of people being online.

It's been almost 2 years, time to get another post ready!

The formatting they are referring to is not that of the original text but that of the Standard Ebooks project.

The author wrote,"Because there is a vast interval between “good” and “bad,” it accommodates complex relationships." which, to me, shows they don't truly grasp the cultural context…

That is such an unnecessary turn of phrase to use, "off the reservation", and it's time to stop using it. This society doesnt (generally) use rape terminology, or other terms assoc…

Color Scheme is indeed more appropriate as they area specific set of colours this guy has used throughout his career. I can tell you one more specific reason for 47x points -- he a…

I avoid and refuse to use Cloud flare for these sorts of reasons. Join me.

Well, let's go!

Check out options on https://softaculous.com/apps/socialnetworking . I have used Elgg, and HumHub seems popular.

A slightly more sanitized variety is two buildings away - Mirador Mansion. I still expect to see a fleeing android to come running down the halls when I stay there, a la Zhora chas…

The perspective of the entire article is confused. Abandonment doesn't overcome and infuse something. It's not an action; it is a state. And what happens TO nature? No, what does n…

Are you American, in America?

I lived overseas for a time in an area that didn't use English. I loved it, enjoyed being there, but one day I noticed that I was talking to myself! At first, it was just exclamati…

The movie, "The Matrix", actually is a clue. In it humanity is reduced to mere batteries. But in fact it IS the energy we bring which is crucial. No AI, made by no machine, would e…

Can you give an example or two of the type of terminology you have in mind? Something like first tier, or high level, or primary, or what? Almost any term that I could think of sti…

No need for the word "tribe" here. They are the Dene. They are the Slave. They are the Cree. we don't say "the German tribe" (of Europe), or the Swiss tribe. This term typically is…

Very nice. Please add an AP option like a Mastodon account, Pixelfed, etc. No way am I using x anymore.

I made the mistake once of "flying to Frankfurt!" on some low-cost airline out of the UK and landed in Frankfurt-Hahn. Yikes.

Curated referring to content.

Currently it's used "by the customer", or worse, "by the data suppliers".

You missed the point. The point wasn't the nature of the tool itself. Anyone could join, and one could chat with anyone. It was used "by the people" and not curated by corps.

Learning the alphabet is key for me. That opens up more native-langauge resources, for one. If you happen to be in a country where the language is used, you have instant Always-On …

Sure, anyone who is part of a majority group. If there is only "one kind" of person with similar experiences, that's how everyone tends to think or perceive. Only when an outside e…

Most likely these were set prayer phrases, like recitations of the Psalms, and not a meandering, "Dear God/Santa, here is my Christmas list and help my dog and heal granny" kind of…
