what's the point of living? why are people the only species that have to pay money to live on planet earth? why aren't we free to access the earth and make a living directly with our own labor?

while technically impressive, this is ethically horrible. human brain cells organized into neural circuits โ a chimera of man & machine. when do we say no to models of enslaved minds running on biological neurons? what of agency? & volition?

propublica's anti encryption stance is worrisome & anti-privacy. their own reporters use signal & telegram but they dont want anyone else to have privacy or encryption or freedom of speech/the press. it's giving "rules for thee but not for me"

Seth this is bad example. The hot water is still dirty in my building. In 2025. living here requires one to earn at least $98,000 a year, if not more, just to qualify. finally people sell faucets that combine the two with variable amounts...

trump's last admin gutted the CDC and we got the covid-19 pandemic. with bird flu & measles outbreaks resurging it doesnt bode well... + we have no climate change solutions. we have to privately organize to save humanity.

Ultimately, my vision for ubiquitous personal quantum computing is one that enables us to take back our privacy. Quantum internet would give us unhackable secure communication by default.

For anyone who needs privacy from AI: Only posts with a public audience will be visible to the world & thus ai, dhs, or trump gestapo. If you want everyone on here to see it choose zedtopia as the audience. We support & encourage vpn use.

If you are worried about dhs persecuting you for exercising your first amendment right to speaking out against violators of international law as well as domestic Leahy law: until authoritarian abuses are checked and balanced, I strongly recommend you use dual layer vpn encryption when uploading, communicating, or organizing.
I highly recommend Signal and perhaps I can eventually integrate deeper Signal support on the platform. (We already let you put Signal usernames in the contact section or images with QR codes in the bio section.)
While many platforms block VPN use and incorporate spyware, this platform incorporates VPN support and blocks spyware.
Stay safe.

Quantum computing renders this discussion a moot point and would restore a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Nonetheless, even without quantum computing, on the basis of having a doorlock one has an expectation of privacy in one's home.
On the basis of having a password on a computer one also has a basic expectation of privacy.
Finally if third party doctrine is true then revenge porn/rape/and broadcast of such things is also considered allowed, which I vehemently disagree with.
In addition to human rights violations, Non disclosure agreements for any business would not be enforceable and nobody would be allowed to have trade secrets or IP.
After having my whole digital life unlawfully and unethically violated as well as generally rummaged through (which the 5th circuit struck down) I cant even have any privacy.
This can happen to anyone in America and it's frankly unfair -- it was unfair before 1776 and we fought a whole revolution because of all the infringement, oppression, and tyranny.
Third party doctrine violates the consent, agency, and volition of the sender who only intended for the recipient to see / read / receive whatever was sent.
Honestly it sounds like more excuses for the creeps and hackers hired by the government to have a reason to justify stealing someone's gf's pics or God knows what.
Have some decency and cognitive consistency.
You literally use encryption. What happens when those people you dont like start using signal or another platform?
Myopic reasoning never makes for a good article...
