The Jefferson Bible could be taught and I would be fine with that. Jesus actually words were pretty kind and good.

I’m gen X and I feel like it’s rude to talk to someone with earbuds in so I always take them out, I have noticed a lot of the younger generations don’t view it as rude.

I guess I mean the old version prior to the GME and AMC fiasco.

I dunno I have done a lot of work to cleanse my home of all of that. I have a pi hole for DNS blocking, I use Firefox with AdBlock on both desktop and mobile, I choose to not use ad riddled apps like TikTok or Instagram (fuck Facebook). I have a VPN which I use for most everything. My home is pretty ad and corporate free. As it should be.

They can put a robots.txt file in their root structure which can tell robots (AI scrapers) to ignore that website.

I agree with the healthier environment, it’s kind of nice being able to make a comment and have people actually see it rather than there being 2k+ comments. It’s a small community but I don’t mind that and it’s actually good in that I don’t doom scroll as much cause there just isn’t enough content, so I don’t spend hours on it.

Saving for later

Ahh yes, the notoriously liberal Thatcher and Reagan…

And my axe

I have Llama 2 running on localhost, you need a fairly powerful GPU but it can totally be done.
