are not humane values.

IF you’re in Android, not iPhone, THEN there is nothing you can do to block google from knowing your phone-number.

As former mafia man ( Firenzese, or something ) said:

once they’ve got enough all-pervading leverage on you, then you cannot win: the leverage locks.

I’m misphrasing it, and he was speaking about the mob, but the principle is true, globally not only in the context he was speaking.

All of surveillance-capitalism is rooted in putting the subjects/serfs in a panopticon, & never letting them out, squeezing them all until the individuals die, being replaced by new inmates, but the population-as-a-whole never would be tolerated to escape…

Perfect industrialized parasitism.

sorry about the bitterness: i’m an old geek & had some idea of what good could be done, world-wide, with tech…

DarkTriad’s incorporated-feudalism proved it won, totally, easily.

from what i’ve read, ALL email ( possible 0.000something tolerance/error ) goes through google’s mail-transfer-agents.

If they want a copy of every email that goes across the internet, they’ve got the saturation-of-core-servers to have that.

There simply isn’t any way to bypass that.

on an irrelated note, i wish public key encryption had been normalized, & worked right…

Be careful which jurisdiction you, and your project, are in.

The titanium-curtain will be coming-down later this year, and there will be alot of police-state aggression, in many countries, soon.

Please make certain you are safe to be doing this, wherever you are.

In the US, RuleOfJustLaw already is banished, & TuleOfLegalism is fading, as RuleOfAuthority supplants it…

Humankind’s Great Filter isn’t going to be … civilized.

WHEN there are multiple, contradictory, config-files,

THEN every single 1 of those bastards ought be explicitly-identified, in the 1st-line-comment, in ALL of them, so that all configurators of any of them know there may be overrides.

Externalize the damn memorization!

There is plenty of research identifying that parallel-IFs, and equivalent parallel/contradictory config/logic structures, are BIG bug-sources.

Ask any sysadmin who has fought config in Linux distros, due to this antipattern.

Make all the locations be named, in every such config, every fscking time!

“Spanish Inquisition” surprises can go eat rocks.

I’d actually want a “No Supremacists Allowed: including zionists, christofascists, islamists, gender-supremacists, class-supremacists, dharmic-religion-supremacists, no actively-butchering-out-country-separatist treason-enacters, etc” policy.

Let the rabid-ideologues not have any place to be, among our civilization.

Let them exist only in their own little country.

I want civilization to live, & they’re working at replacing it with their feudalisms.

To hell with 'em.

( anybody who thinks that zionists & Jews are somehow identical, please look up Ultra-Orthodox Jews, like Rabbi Elhanan Beck, & his wish that Netanyahu’s “Israel” not exist.

He pointed-out that there are 2-million Jews, but there are 16-million who identify as Jews, but who don’t hold to Jewish religion, or who have Jewish ancestry … but who don’t hold to Jewish religion.

He points out that Netanyahu doesn’t even bother eating kosher: Netanyahu isn’t Jewish, he’s zionist.

He also identifies that outside of Netanyahu’s “Israel”, anyone who looks like they’re Orthodox Jew, probably is. However in that place, then you’ve got zionist-settlers who dress the same way, & there you can’t identify which side someone is on, by the way they dress, because the bad-guys are wearing the good-guys’ labels/clothing/etc.

That problem, of enemies wearing the same labels/flags/words is a problem in all sorts of domains, not only Judaism… Christian vs “Christian”, e.g.

Please look him up: I learned much about what’s really going on, there, from the interviews of him.

In my religion, “the holy land” is internal though, so I"m not certain my concept of holy-land would map into Judaism, at all…

One’s pure openness of heart, to LivingSpirit, that is one’s Holy Land.

All geopolitical-lands are worldly-lands, not The Holy Land, in this view…

Anyways, he seems a truly good guy, & you may recognize him by his ultra-Orthodox Jewish clothing, & his colorful Palestine button, which he wears gladly. )

Mere-ideas, but…

1. there seem to be one hell of alot of the things, so therefore some must have captured rogue-planets, after they calmed-down…

2. that would mean that the atmosphere-stripping might not be universal for all planets orbiting them, only for the planets that orbited them when they were young red-dwarfs…

Being tidally-locked may mean that not having any Van Allen belts may be irrelevant: the radiation they’re being bombarded by is coming from their sun, & life could evolve on the opposite side, having warmth, & maybe photosynthesis at the daylight-horizon?

3. Swift caught a red-dwarf emitting a flare 10k times more powreful than any we know about having been ejected by our Sun … but we’re looking at zillions of stars with our satellites, whereas we’ve only got a few decades of satellites watching our sun: there’s a measurement-disparity there, that is significant.

4. universe has surprised ALL of our assumptions about it, through the millenia… & the ONE rule on Earth for where life is, is: IF life CAN exist in some niche, THEN it does. Period.

Stratospheric bacteria with error-correcting-code DNA ( 4 compartments, each with about 1/3rd of the DNA, so it corrects radiation-induced-damage before dividing into daughter-cells, sorry I can’t remember where I read that, it was a couple decades ago ), bacteria eating bedrock, down where it’s too hot for anything else to live, etc…

To presume, as we normally do, that universe’s rules for life are different on Earth than everywhere-else, is … neither evidence-based nor correct-reasoning-based.

Therefore, betting that no red-dwarf-orbiting planet has any life on it … isn’t a bet I’d do.

That most such might be lifeless, I’ve no problem with that.

But any time we assert that “there’s no life” in an entire-category of universe’s places … that’s just prejudice, from what I can see.

There is some, indirect evidence that microbes used to live on Mars ( chemistry that has no other obvious explanation, e.g. )…

& that would indicate that life’s actually a normal-default, but that we evolved too-late to encounter Mars’s life…

Oh, & the flaring thing: being closer to a star makes flaring much more dangerous than it is to us: the energy-density at double the distance ( of the flare, between its sun & its planet ) would be 1/4, right? ( distance-squared ),

so closer would be massively more likely to be clobbered…

but … universe consistently surprises our assumptions, so I’m still holding-to the suspend-judgement, only speak for the majority, not for all, position.

They’re frequently mis-classifying people as bots, though, banning us from sites because we use password-keepers & copy/paste those in, e.g.

I’ve been telling people about that for over 1/2-year.

Sabine Hossenfelder’s got a video on Kessler Syndrome being closer than people realize…

I didn’t bother watching it: I already know that China’s blowing-up a satellite ( for target-practice ) was much hated by many, for the amplification of it…

Smash enough, & the shrapnel begins doing the “chain reaction” thing, same as in fission-reactors.

Deem it delusion all you want.

Downvote me, then.

Consistently.

My wrong/incompetent defaut-assumption that people mean what they say, say what they mean, & value fundamental-strategic correcting-the-problem through unversal/objective understanding, contextual-framing added-in, etc, is wrong.

That is normal.

Don’t bother accommodating my-kind, then: just downvote.

Make your world improve, make it see the ones who aren’t wrong, only.

“Not sure why downvoted”

Many find “me” unacceptable/offensive.

Downvoting me is fine: it makes them happy, & I don’t value such “social-validation” delusion.

They’re making the world be more the way they want!

Isn’t that worth something?

Integrity’s worth more to me than “friends”, so human-“reality” & I are on divergant-paths…

1. showing a map of country-level gender-equality that was done by people who don’t count province-differences in value, by people who don’t consider all the understandings that psychologist Susan Pinker pointed-out in her “The Sexual Paradox”, & so ignore that in Scadinavia where gender-equal-validity is real employment is more gendered, not less,

but that map was made by people who were doing the traditional measuring, not “are women in the work they want to be in”, but "are women & men equally-represented in the various employments.

Pinker’s book make it absolutely-clear that that is mis-measuring/mis-representing the question.

& having spoken with people from the Soviet Union in my life, Susan Pinker’s describing true fact.

2. “Human cognition is not programming” you prohibit that there is any validity in NLP, then, good for you.

Evidence backs that it’s real.

Much excellent work shows that self-talk programs culture.

The research that showed that if people don’t have a word for a concept, that concept tends to be not-discussable.

There is a book “They have a word for it” which was on words the English didn’t have, but needed, because the concepts needed to be discussed.

The not-differentiating-blue in languages which don’t have a word for blue, is also evidence.

Yes, human-languages do program our thought to fit the languages we’re living-in/through.

Deem that to be incompeten bullshit all you want: it’s fact.

I’ve been told that to start a fight among Quebecois, ask them to answer, definitively, whether grapefruit are female or male, in their language.

You contempt my accepting a bilingual-person’s experience as valid, AND you try pretending that I didn’t understand that the point was about language, not about citrus-fruit having mamallian-gonads.

You’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel, eh?

Your presuming that nobody takes language-gender seriously-enough to get honestly mad about, is … ludicrous.

You obviously never met people who live that way, but that non-experience isn’t universal.

Ad Hominem against Shlain … isn’t falsification of what he put in 1 book of his.

I don’t care if someone said something, before a truth they spoke, or after it, that wasn’t true: that isn’t relevant to whether what they said, that was pertinent & true, was pertinent & true.

I’ve known people who’ve lived in both Europe, Canada, & Latin America.

Their life-experience backs what I said.

Carve it in Eternity, Hoomin…

I can’t respect anybody who plays your “intellectual” game.

Translating from thoughshapes to linear-English is exhausting.

Sorry, I’m not too helpful here:

I’d paid-for 100x oversampling testing, & discovered a few interesting things,

but not much I cared about…

There’s a vitamin-D affecting gene, that makes one only need a small amount of the stuff, because somehow one’s body over-conserves it.

I’d never known about any such condition…

So, for me, a plain multivitamin will always be sufficient, for vitamin-D.

The service I went-with wasn’t recommended by others who knew the companies better than I did.

& I don’t remember the one they did recommend.

Not the 23andMe shit, but the next level up…

Maybe ask several LLM’s to find some, & compare/contrast their results, in order to get current view?

Sorry I couldn’t help better…
