 Don't use technology whose creators allow it to be used and manipulated for evil. 
 What tech are you talking about? 
 I’m just trying to figure out what you’re saying. How broad of a statement are you trying to make? You’re posting this on nostr, which i feel some people use nefariously, and whose creators - depending on what you mean by the word - "allow" it to be used that way. 
 Seems like it could be a lot more readable by allowing for ink that is roughly between the corners. For example - a dip down the middle of the “m” to enable a right-side up “n” and thereby a normal “u” 
 And maybe also a better v

 From Reddit:

This particular chasuble was made as a gift to be worn by the Pope during his trip to Peru. As such the maker decided to put something that is "Peruvian" with that thing being an image from the Nazca line. And that basically is the reason.

 Do you think people will rage-zap as disproportionately as they rage-engage on traditional media?

 I wonder sometimes whether my npub is too late for this 
 What kinda of identical and objetive rules would you be ok with? What kinds would you not be ok with? I’m guessing AI would come up with some we wouldn’t like. 
 Forgot to wear deodorant to the gym. Hope today isn’t the day I run into my soulmate 😷 
 Don’t worry, sounds like it won’t be 😂 
 Have you talked with chatGPT’s voice model recently? It’s very good. This doesn’t sound any different to me 
 After watching more videos, you’re definitely think you’re right, tele-operation for gestures and voice 
 I’d pay to watch this

 Why is it so cool all of a sudden to not know what the fuck you’re talking about? 
 Always has been

Or you disagree? 
 Or did peppers just play the game better than nearly any other?

Reminds me of this quote:

Ten thousand years ago wheat was just a wild grass, one of many, confined to a small range in the Middle East. Suddenly, within just a few short millennia, it was growing all over the world.
