Also, good to read a well-thought comment! It is an interesting question when a radical position is justified. Normally, I would radically appeal for nuanced and balanced discussion and progress within liberal institutions. But sometimes this progress is slow or near impossible.

I find that anti-comunist sentiments in Poland, Ukraine, and some other formerly soviet countries usually refer to the soviet state, not communism as such. It is actually anti-soviet and anti-tankie.

Soviet occupation left very bitter memories, and poisoned any potential for communist progressivism in this part of the world.

This should be considered while criticising anti-communism.

This is a remarkably specific and disturbing fact. Thank you for sharing.

It does make you wonder what caused spinal injury in these mice. I do not suppose there is a sufficient natural supply of these kinds of injured mice.

But, if not animal testing, how do you propose to develop the treatment?

Cats are already smart enough, they just find it easier to access the technology using their chips.

Please don’t insult cats, it’s cats who are smart enough to know how to use their chips! Robots and chips just react as they are programmed.

So I have a cat chipped 15 years ago, and she can still operate modern devices with it - open doors, get food from a robot.

Not all tech goes obsolete fast, there are legacy compatibility layers!

Actually I like the very fact that it is paid. Supporting the developer, and some sort of accountability.

Also, after trying connect, liftoff, jerboa (all perfectly good apps), etc I find that sync is most smooth and customizable.

They certainly do. They undermine HTTP too. And would have done much more harm if the Web was not founded with a different governance model.

EU actions like that in the title post stress this original, less centralized, model. It was naive to assume that free internet will remain free if left alone.

Paradoxically, preserving freedom relies on constraints and regulations.

You still, presumably, use HTTP for your internet needs, even though facebook totally works over it.

What’s the problem with a protocol for chat?

I guess they broke their engine! /s

smaller pieces which fell off are hard to track while their effect on the trajectory might still be substantial. Small change to the orbit early on makes a big difference after a while.

It may need to be in some way decetralized though, even if some kind of certification authority needs to be in some coherent trust chain.

It makes me think of inrupt solid, although it’s not quite the same.

Also I seem to remember some dutch (or used in there) online idenity management infrastructure which allows to make some authorithative claims without getting entire identity revealed. Sadly I can not find it now.

I am a bit surprised about the diversity of opinions. For me, well organized muscle movement, both cardio and weightlifting, is quite enjoyable simply physiologically. Plus other things like resting the mind, enjoying the scenere, etc.
