i like redsails.org

i have a matrix account but i find delta chat works a lot better so i’d prefer it if you dm’d me here on lemmy for my delta chat contact

the official site is here: https://delta.chat/

it’s free and open source, and incredibly easy to make throw away profiles too

  • Eh they’ve been building capacity though.

    unless they’re literally just been lying they’ve been struggling really badly to do this, they constantly keep missing their production targets by a ton (in artillery shells particularly but i remember reading about them missing it in other areas too). i will believe they have ramped up military production to a reasonable degree after i see it and not a moment before.

    They plan to turn it into their war factory for the coming war with Russia and/or China and I do think that within the next 3 years they’ll have that capacity operational and be able to use it against China or Russia and it will be significant in the amount of production capacity it will give them and the ability it will give the west to stay in a long fight.

    placing your fancy new arm production facilities (even underground ones) within striking range of Russia’s missiles while planning to go to war against them again would be so stupid i struggle to imagine even the dumbest among the ruling class would entertain the idea




  • that’s true yeah. although part of it is that i have a remarkably good memory for random bits of info about people (drives me insane if i meet someone there’s a better chance ill remember some random thing they told me rather than their name next time i see them), which makes it easier to idenitfy a hb user when i remember something more unique about them and notice them mentioning or even just posting in a subreddit pertaining to that unique thing

    like i said though there are people i can recognize on style alone such as pluto/makan and it would take conscious effort for someone like her to disguise an account lol


  • people most often believe what they want to believe so what this says to me is that even though he is very smart, he wants to believe we have figured out/are on the very cusp of figuring out GAI so he is much more inclined to take evidence that suggests that supports what he wants to believe (OMG LOOK THEY PASSED THE TURING TEST!?!?!?) at face value rather than thinking about whether the turing test is actually even a valid way of determining this kind of thing or not.




  • DELTA CHAT MENTIONED RAAHHH lets-fucking-go

    delta chat advertisement

    I unironically really love Deltachat, incredibly easy to set up and use to the point i got my 70+ yo grandma to use it and the encyption never breaks like matrix seems to constantly (at least in my experience anyways. it’s not perfect if you’re a paranoid bastard because it doesnt have PFS but like i said it’s so easy to set up and use that i think it’s a worthy tradeoff with how easy it is to make throw away accounts, and if you really need PFS there are web apps that you can use to get that


  • before i get strawmanned: no i dont think “AI” (by which i mean LLMs like chatgpt) is anywhere close to being as good/useful as writing. Still:

    im sick of the exaggeration about this stuff, writing didnt kill thinking, google search didnt kill thinking, and these LLMs wont kill thinking either

    realized just now this was posted to c/slop so this isnt directed at you OP
