Facebook has shut down my pseudonymous account because i did not provide a photo of my ID. Try it, you should meet more like-minded people there than on Lemmy

Which reminds me that rss-bridge has a Facebook backend that sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t

I used to have a burner account and a program that logged in to FB with Selenium and converted certain “pages” into RSS feeds. It worked great when it did, but Facebook has a lot of measures against scraping, and I burned out trying to maintain this.

I don’t know a way to read their content without an account, which excludes me from a lot of local events.

Okay i remembered it wrong, not PGP keys but close

All sellers had pgp keys published, everyone just used these and feds could not see shit.

I’m so happy to be here and read about Zuck, Elon and Google all the time

There’s encrypted p2p stuff with nice apps like Scuttlebutt with Manyverse app, but nobody uses it.

There’s Movim which builds a social network layer over XMPP, so you can share to your contacts. Guess what - nobody uses it.

OpenBazaar, never took off

ChatGPT wrote a Python program that does select->Tesseract OCR for me, but it doesn’t always work right with two monitors. I’m too stupid to correct it. How have you done yours, what are you using for selecting the area?

Why? He’s publishing his results, it’s a good data point. He’s a human trial on safety of some of these drugs. And it’s his money after all.

Many of the substances these people try end up being valuable for people with chronic fatigue and related autoimmune diseases.

Does it really matter whether he’s driven by selfishness or by the desire to help others? Are all researchers purely altruistic?

But it’s burning amazon forests for capitalist greed!

No such comment yet? I’ll be the first then.

Oh no, AI bad, next thing they add is cryptocurrency mining!

Anything is better than having to watch a video that should have been a blog post
