No and they don’t plan to federate it. Not on their roadmap.

Further Matrix is guided by the Matrix Foundation, a non-profit group.

But I mean sure let’s just dump one for-profit app for another as if it won’t follow the same path.

This is absolutely awesome, thanks for the introduction to it.

RIP to one more thing a big corporation bought and successfully murdered. Skype before Microsoft was literally amazing.

This is the opposite of what you’re asking for, sorry, but I find that more people are familiar with the A Perfect Circle version of The Nurse Who Loved Me than they are with the original version by Failure.

Both very good versions song, but the original still blows me away.

Apologies for doing the opposite of what you asked, but this was just the first thing that came to mind.

Probably surveillance or AI training.

And funny how it’s never the other way where women can take multiple husbands🤔

This is why Paint Your Wagon is one of the best films ever made. A mormon sells his wife to a dirty drunken miner, and the minter promised to go halvsies on his stake with his pardner, so he and his pardner end up sharing her as a wife too, as well as the stake in the gold mine.

We both know that this kind of nuanced take isn’t was Truss is aiming for, though. Otherwise she wouldn’t use the “free speech” canard.

You reminded me of this old film from the 1980’s:

B & E from A to Z: How to Get In Anywhere, Anytime

Last I checked the UK has no guarantees of free speech.

he thinks I’m going to unintentionally hurt him in the future which I’m trying to accept but it makes me so mad.

This is going to happen in every relationship for all the time until the end of time. There are zero relationships where people don’t unintentionally hurt each other. He is weaseling for a way out of reality. We all do little things that hurt one another, even our closest loved ones. No one is perfect. That’s just life. If he can’t accept that, he really is immature. He’s trying to run from reality, he will never find someone who doesn’t hurt him in some way unintentionally. Even if it’s something as simple as someone not being appreciative enough of something he did for them, if he’s hurt by it, he can’t avoid it. Feelings are a real thing we have to deal with and no one can be perfectly cognizant of another’s feelings at all times. Nor should we be altering all our behavior to make sure nothing we ever do could harm someone’s feeling. We should always be willing to find compromise and improve our behavior to try to not harm others, but what he expects is literally humanly impossible.

It should make you mad. He’s demanding the something impossible from you, a promise that you could never, ever accidentally hurt him in any way shape or form.

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and AI generated answers.

weaning them off government assistance.

What a horrific way to state such a thing, and basically, fuck Florida for this anyway.

faith-based organizations

No seriously, fuck Florida.

I don’t know whether to be on the trolls’ side or not in this instance, because these people should just have access to their government assistance instead of this bullshit. I guess I’m not on their side though because getting in the way still hurts people in need. Ugh. Ugh. Fuck everything about all of this.

I self harmed the other day after not doing it for years because I felt so bad for hurting him.

Please walk away from this man before he has you doing this to yourself again. Please, for the love all that is holy, please.

Don’t feel like an idiot. Just accept that it happened and try to use it as a learning experience. If he thinks you’re gaslighting him, that’s on him, not on you, you’re just talking about how you’ve been made to feel.

As an old, lonely man, what I would give to have a woman who just wanted to spend three hours with me, hanging out. To know someone cared that I existed and chose to spend their time with me. Just to not be alone for a while, to have someone to talk to, to feel like I mattered to someone and that out of all the people on the planet, they chose to spend their time on me. That’s a gift.

I promise, it gets easier as you get older, because the sex drive in men gets lower and they begin thinking with their brains instead of their dicks (not all of them, but some of them). Maybe try to work on having fun for yourself while you’re still young and not worrying about what the dumb young men you encounter think of you? Be patient until you and the men you date are older when you can more easily find someone who has matured into understanding that you choosing to give them your time, effort, and compassion is far more valuable than sex.

I feel like this isn’t fair

That’s because it isn’t. He still used you for sex even though he was “upset” about it. He got what he wanted out of the equation. Please understand he is not actually treating you well and you deserve better. He strongly reeks of a person who thinks women should be pure innocent flowers (a lie) while men should be able to rack up a body count without judgment. It’s a twisted double standard. If he was actually upset about it, why did he stay with you all night, having sex and cuddling? Because he selfishly wanted to get something out of it, and then went on to punish you for your own choices. It is incredibly unfair to you. Please, please, please understand that hurt you feel is because he chose to hurt you not because you chose to hurt him.

You deserve so much better.

Once again, none of that is specifically your fault, and as I said in another comment, you would do well to come to terms with your own behavior and choose to either change it for yourself, or become comfortable with yourself.

Sex work is work. Sexting for money is a job. Just like being a Bikini Barista or a stripper, and so on. There isn’t and should be no shame in it. If you are able to leverage your looks for income, you also deserve a partner who is comfortable with that. Your current “partner” is not.

I strongly advise you to become more comfortable with yourself and find someone who is similarly comfortable with you. It will hurt to lose this boy, but you will find more mature men out there who won’t fall apart in the face of this.

Oh, that’s part of what frustrated me so much about it at the time! I had a friend who had just gotten his Masters whose thesis had been on the co-evolution of control and resistance in digital networks, talking about things like Napster and Bittorrent specifically, and he couldn’t find a fucking job as a teacher to save his life. Meanwhile, Doctorow, with all his mistakes, was being asked to teach a class at UCLA.

He’s punishing you for things other people did. They sent things to you, that’s not a choice you made, and you even blocked them after it happened. Instead of comforting you for being sent unwanted graphic sexual imagery, he is instead choosing to make it about himself and his feelings. Doesn’t sound like a great guy to me.

I am glad Cory Doctorow has come a long way, but man, this was a major gripe from me about him when he was first getting popular in the blogosphere. He made some outright false statements about the history of Napster in the early 2000’s, and it made me furious. I remember being like “motherfucker, you lived through this how did you get it so wrong?” He’s been a lot more consistent for about a decade or more now.
