It should be noted that social media companies like reddit, facebook, twitter, etc all have major incentives to inflate their user counts (with bots, or counting inactive users). Those user counts are the product that they’re selling to advertisers to set up on their platform.

We don’t have that incentive, in fact its the opposite, we’d rather have less users that are more active, as more users require more moderation resources and time.

This could’ve been a great episode of columbo.

Anyone who has the thought: “yes i would kill clone me”, you better watch your back, your clone thinks the same way you do.

Never thought about it before, but I guess this makes portal guns impossible, since scenarios like this break conservation of energy.

Not really. Most americans aren’t native english speakers, and still consider themselves americans. They don’t roll over and let the US coopt that term.

If I were to learn another besides toki pona, I’d def go with this one. The way globasa adds words makes it much more international than nearly every other conlang.

Getting you to read is impossible. Stop white-supremacist vibing and actually read about its historical usage. I even linked you an article, which I know you didn’t read.

It’s so frustrating to read books about the long history of these things and then have confidently wrong children try to correct you with a vibes-based analysis.

Now, using “Americans” to refer to everyone over here did exist before the U.S., going back to at least the 1500s. I think that was only in use in English, I’ve never looked up what was used in French and Spanish back then. But since the USA came into being as country, it has been the default term for US citizens colloquially.

Confidently wrong. US leaders didn’t start referring to its citizens as americans or its country as america until ~1900.

I know you won’t read the book I linked, and are going off of white-supremacist vibes, so here’s an article for everyone else about the history of this imperialist usage.

Most americans, the majority of whom don’t live in the US, dislike the usurpation of that term. There’s a longer history starting in the late 1800s of US politicians using “america”, “greater america”, to coincide with its imperial ambitions in Latin america and the carribean.

The USA even had a time when it had more people in its colonies living outside its contiguous borders, than it did inside.

There’s a lot on this in the book, how to hide an empire.

Usonian also works.

I’m 99% sure its sarcasm.

They look neat, but way too powerful and expensive, and not big enough. I want a whiteboard size e-ink display with a processor like a potato for like <100 USD

Yep, I’ve coded remotely for many years now.

I used to use vim, but now helix, as my main rust and javascript/typescript IDE. So I mainly use termux+ssh .

Unfortunately for android dev you pretty much have to run android studio, so I use an android VNC client for that.

Cheap large e-ink android screen. Doesn’t need to do anything other than be a consistent, always on display with a long battery life.

I haven’t used a laptop for many years now, I mostly code from an android tablet, into a remote machine. You can find ones with great battery life and keyboards.

Post the video coward.
