Christianity can be extremely anti-knowledge. Adam and Eve disobeyed God by seeking knowledge. Kids are innocent because they lack knowledge, and so we should be like kids. Those attempting to amass great knowledge are confused. Truth is only accessible through faith.

Once I convinced a scam-texter that I thought they were my mother. I made them promise to make me chicken liver soup when I came to visit if I bought them gift cards.They also got demanding at one point, so I said, "Mom, you always taught me to use manners. Say 'please'"I was able to get them to try three phony gift card numbers.I then sent a link that indirectly pinged one of my servers so I could get their IPMy friends and I got a laugh. We kept them from scamming someone else. Win-win

If you send a rain cloud in any chat, like 🌧️, rain will fall down the screen.I may or may not have added this because my friends and I were obsessed with these effects.If you've already done this accidentally and wondered who to blame. Well, I'm confessing.

Today Americans celebrate the separation of an independent settler-colonial nation from rule of an imperial power, freeing it to colonize more effectively.

It's a bit odd to me that some people think corporations = bad yet believe governments = good. Most of the reasons most believe corporations are bad also apply to governments.In fact, most governments have far worse human rights abuses than even Facebook could even imagine accomplishing.Yes, even your favorite "democratic" government.See also: https://social.freetalklive.com/@yujiri/110687694188292619

Death is inevitable, but it can theoretically be postponed a few trillion years or so.

@Linux_in_a_Bit Just make sure to wait to procrastinate until *after* the required technology is invented. As it stands you'll have to spend every waking moment trying to figure out how to extend your life to be able to spend the rest of it procrastinating.Then you'll also have to focus on figuring out how to make humanity survive Earth's destruction a thousand different ways, the sun's inevitable death, and all kinds of other hazards.

I found an essay that describes what I wish software to be like:https://www.inkandswitch.com/end-user-programming/"Today’s software apps are like appliances: we can only use the capabilities exactly as programmed by the developer. What if we, and all computer users, could reach in and modify our favorite apps? Or even create new apps on the fly according to our needs in the moment?"#CooperativeTechnology

@allenstenhaus I'd be able to read entire books in an instant. That way I don't have to dredge through book after book to learn anything.But that might have noticeable effects on my environment. E.g. I'd make far more trips to the library.

@horkrvkz @pagrus @tek I was wondering the same thing! Does it have to do with free radicals in another context?

Hey I made a prototype of a thing that converts your Mastodon archive to a downloadable user-friendly webpage.https://codeberg.org/josias/mastodon-archive-to-html/https://josias.dev/mastodon-archive-converter/Have fun and let me know when something breaks.
