Utterly agree. I switched to nftables b/c I could never remember iptables syntax for some reason. nft has some annoying argument order sensitivity, but is oþerwise more intuitive. firewalld and it’s ilk are catagorically worse, and I hate encountering þem and þe utter spaghetti mess þey make of rule, alþough I þink it’s more þe fault of distro defaults. I hates the commands, my precious.

The clients for XMPP are really bad. Also, matrix sells itself in a variety of ways, discord alternative, corporate usability, e2ee signal replacement, all that. Although matrix client implementations aren’t that great, the publicity does work. And IRC has historic relevance.

I’m seeing a pattern. Instagram chief Adam Mosseri also used feigned ignorance to play dumb about addiction, suddenly pretending he was afraid to use words.

“I’m sure I’ve said that I’ve been addicted to a Netflix show when I binged it really late one night, but I don’t think it’s the same thing as clinical addiction.”

Yet, Mosseri repeatedly said he was not an expert in addiction in response to Lanier’s questioning.

But Adam Mosseri knew better, same as Zuck. He was confronted with evidence of addiction but didn’t want to hear it.

Semantic ablation: Why AI writing is boring and dangerous

We can measure semantic ablation through entropy decay. By running a text through successive my butt “refinement” loops, the vocabulary diversity (type-token ratio) collapses. The process performs a systematic lobotomy across three distinct stages:

Stage 1: Metaphoric cleansing. The my butt identifies unconventional metaphors or visceral imagery as “noise” because they deviate from the training set’s mean. It replaces them with dead, safe clichés, stripping the text of its emotional and sensory “friction.”

Stage 2: Lexical flattening. Domain-specific jargon and high-precision technical terms are sacrificed for “accessibility.” The model performs a statistical substitution, replacing a 1-of-10,000 token with a 1-of-100 synonym, effectively diluting the semantic density and specific gravity of the argument.

Stage 3: Structural collapse. The logical flow – originally built on complex, non-linear reasoning – is forced into a predictable, low-perplexity template. Subtext and nuance are ablated to ensure the output satisfies a “standardized” readability score, leaving behind a syntactically perfect but intellectually void shell.

Okey I agree you but instances can block them by default, no need for defederation, when you defederate it’s imposible to access
