@JackMexa4@mastodon.social @didgebaba@c.im @Richard_Littler@mastodon.social biggest problem with wealth is that it inherently disincentivizes doing anything that promotes self worth - why cook your own food when you can hire a chef and have it delivered to you by a butler? problem with getting someone else to do it, and it's getting quite salient with LLM usage, is that it induces cognitive and physical decline. you didn't use it, so you lose it. the privilege of not having to do it anymore quickly devolves into the prison of being unable to do it anymore. soon wealth becomes the only thing that you have, and you're stuck unable to do anything for yourself, especially if you haven't done it before. the solution is to build a society that promotes learning new skills and life fulfillment as primary values, above how much wealth you have. nobody feels horribly insecure anymore, and you'll naturally make a lot of wealth with such a society regardless. furthermore, a nation not tied to wealth as a value and that prioritizes education and skill over it can do a hell of a lot more on the world stage.

as a (former) discord user myself, bare minimum requirements are:

• a decent chatroom experience, incl. media and custom emojis.
• good quality moderation tools (incl. being able to see as roles - this is really good for testing stuff.)
• a top notch audio/video experience - (discord uses opus iirc, so should be theoretically possible to implement, could probably copy some stuff from OBS for the AV stuff)

since messages are organized by discord server group, federation SHOULD be fairly lightweight and doable for users (just need username and list of servers/friends for migrating).

(if we're hauling entire discord servers between instances, take it up with @jonny@neuromatch.social )

but e2ee feels unnecessary for this use case and an entirely new operating system kernel sounds like there's a story and a half behind it.

the article itself (from what looks like the television equivalent of a local newspaper) mentions the gunman had a care-clearance for cptsd and schizophrenia, and hadn't been on his meds for 6 months, so that would certainly work as a mitigating circumstance in court.

the thing is, if we take a step back, the number of people specifically with care clearances for cptsd and schizophrenia in amsterdam is most certainly going to be greater than one.

so assuming the above axiom is correct, what's boggling me is why would a random livestream viewer possess the phone number of:

• this specific person in amsterdam,
• with known complex mental health issues,
• who just so happens to also have an illegal firearm,

and hand that specific number to a prank streamer, with a donation, with the express intent of distressing this specific person with mental health issues?
