       @zleap @ilyaz Well, it can do citations. But all the ones I checked were made up.Here's what I wrote a while ago for my students:https://ts-cubed.github.io/roam/20221206182426-using_ai_for_coursework.html

       @element @amatecha @matrix @liaizon I do take this as meaning you sell encrypted messaging services/platform to these government institutions.On first, quick reading (as typical for social media), one may read that as "selling encrypted messages", i.e., access to other people's messages to said government institutions.Two very different things.

       @fcktheworld587 @GW Difficult to find good numbers - for any kind of lifecycle analysis. A quick search brought up this:https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-is-nuclear-energy-good-for-the-climate/a-59853315which seems to be reasonable. So not the same as natural gas, but about a quarter (which is considerably higher than wind and solar). Cost is an issue, without massive subsidies (which I wouldn't be opposed to, if it was a clearly sustainable solution) nuclear never made it into a commercially feasible energy source - and that doesn't even count cost of waste handling and decommissioning.

       @freediverx @dangillmor It says in the article that Kagi buys access to Google's index.

       @foone Covid rule sign on a toilet in Britain: "This room (safe to use by) 1 people."That would have been a pretty crowded toilet.

       @interfluidity @ryanlcooper TBF, alt.conspiracies had a fair bit of flat earth in the early 90s. And the hollow earth hamster.

       @ChrisMayLA6 I've heard arguments that only 10 thousand at that march were hard right racists, and 100,000 were "people with legitimate grievances". Even if those numbers are correct, by going to this event, those people with grievances became complicit.As a German, I heard the question "if not all Germans were Nazis, how could Hitler take power?". My answer to those 100,000 is: Because of people like you.If you have grievances, supporting Nazis is not the way, unless that way is becoming Nazi yourself.

       @ChrisMayLA6 @h4890 @annehargreaves And there in your last sentence lies the problem. You and I think so, but too many - including many who, in my field of work (academia), push the "deconise your curriculum" activities, with a fundamentally colonial mindset - do not. "We brought them civilisation, and they squandered it, and now they want to come here to destroy our country!"Just in case it was not obvious: the last sentence in quotation marks is NOT my opinion :)

       @h4890 @ChrisMayLA6 @annehargreaves But I am only judging actions and words of people who are still alive:A person living in 18th or 19th century Britain may have had the common empire mindset, and be a decent person.A person, who - in the 21st century - is only to happy to accept the wealth his first world country has amassed on the back of the third world countries they exploited; and then pushes away responsibility - because it was not them that did the exploitation - will be judged by me as not a decent person.
