“IRC vibes” -> maybe intended, see BitchX.

XMPP is a standard and doesn’t have mandated UIs.

If you want a voice chat, then Mumble. It’s very narrow, just for games.

I think everyone thought of what you described, but most lacked mind discipline to think in specifics.

That’s all I wanted to say, very cool, good luck.

(I personally would prefer thinking of a distributed computer (tasks distributed among members of a group with some redundancy and a graph of execution dependencies, results merged, so the initial state a node retrieves only once), but I lack knowledge of fundamentals.)

I’m talking about my feeling from watching them and about the design of the aliens, this might have been unintentional initially in the first movie.

First, I don’t think I can find anything not perfect about Alien or Aliens, but the “female-led” context there is emotionally strong in very primal sense, liking those movies doesn’t prove anything because both movies (especially the second one) just give a new spin to pretty traditional perception of women.

Xena is nice, but uses some stereotypes as well, just more lesbian than traditional, ahem.

Anyway, I wanted to say I’ve been accused of being such a whiner and screecher about Disney fake Star Wars, and Rey there is just a shitty character.

Star Wars outside of movies has plenty of very cool female characters, and the “conservative fans” Disney accused of being racist and misogynist are supposed to know most of them.

So let’s please remember that companies are sometimes trying to do damage control with things that are just bad, by accusing people not liking those of racism or misogyny.

It’s a huge difference when you hear just that some movie is not cool and when you also hear that those calling it not cool are very bad people. If you didn’t like the movie in question yourself, you might stop telling others it’s bad, and even try to reconsider your opinion, probably buying another ticket.

Most of the web now is like that article.

AI has a role in turning pages and pages of text into one sentence.

Telegram isn’t P2P and isn’t recommended. Signal is good, but not P2P. Matrix is decentralized, not P2P. SimpleX is P2P, I think, but not sure.

Oh, the populace knows it’s being oppressed. It’s apathetic.

Russia is ruled by very unpleasant people, not very efficient, not very intelligent, but capable of curbing all threats to their power.

I’m confident that if ever the government in Russia changes, rooting out that mafia group will last for another century or more.
