It depends on your goals, and what cultures are you interested in.

I’m also fluent in Spanish and English (native Spanish though), and my third language of choice has always been between Chinese or Japanese. I like east asian culture, technology and many of their cultural exports. So it was an easy choice for me (easy the choice, languages… not so easy).

Are they? Most studies I have read on that matter are… not good science, to put on nice words.

I like the topic system. Allows to post and see without worries of duplication.

The problem is that the niche community exist. In fact it probably exists several times, one in each instance with a small number of followers. Which makes really hard to go and decide in which community you want to invest.

It’s one fundamental problem of federative systems and to be solved some of the federal nature need to be partially given away, but I think is necessary. I propose two solutions:

1. Automatic merging of communities. All communities with the same name within a federation are de facto replicated. So a post in any community just replicate in all. It will make it seem like there’s only one community.

2 Discourage. Everytime you try to create a community that already exists in other instance a pop up appears that encourage you to just go to the other community. For already duplicated communities messages are sent to concentrate in the biggest one.

Same in Spain.

Everything is digitalized and you have the right to do everything digitally. I’ve never mailed anything to the government.

You don’t upload pictures because you don’t want to be tracked.

I don’t upload pictures because no one wants to track me.

We are different.

Yea. But why the picture is like.

Open source means open source, I never assume anything else from open source projects.

I certainly doubt it. They would probably just be protecting themselves and their own kind.

If a humpback whale have experiences of killing whales attacking them or their offspring probably thought it was a good idea to do as possible to interfere with them. Probably would carry a genocide on orcas giving the chance.

I don’t think it is out of mercy. Mercy is something that is learning growing in a better environment that any animal growing in the brutal natural world.

I think is actually kind of nice.

I mean of all species living on earth, human is the only species that would consider genocide a bad thing. Some random plant on prehistoric ages would just produce oxygen an cause a mass extinction without sweating it.

And for most human history Humans would actually try to genocide others.

At least now there is people who is anti-genocide. And it’s probably a growing stance.

Same as most human iterations then?

At least I fact check everything I read. Like I did with this post and the church of the anti-AI got angry they got fact checked.

Yep, you caught me. I’m OpenAI CEO.

Could you be a little more constructive and point me at the points that are wrong and useless?

Thank you.

Public free chatbots go up and down. Until recently I was finding Microsoft copilot to give the best answers. But they downgraded it recently, probably to much cost to keep it at that level, and now I’m finding openAI direct website to give best results… for now.

I just hope for a good enough self hosted model to be available before all the comercial ones shut up over a paywall/adwall for good (which is definitely coming sooner than later).

Just did the same question. Answer given to me was vastly different:

How to clean a rescued pidgeon

ChatGPT:

Cleaning a rescued pigeon should be done carefully to avoid stressing or harming the bird. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you:

1. Assess the Pigeon’s Condition

• Check for injuries: If the pigeon is injured, weak, or sick, it’s best to seek veterinary help before attempting to clean it.
• Observe behavior: If the pigeon is acting stressed or aggressive, you may need to wait until it calms down.

2. Prepare the Cleaning Area

• Warm water: Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water, not hot or cold.
• Mild soap: Use a gentle soap or baby shampoo without strong fragrances or chemicals.
• Towels: Have clean towels ready for drying the pigeon afterward.

3. Handling the Pigeon Safely

• Wear gloves: This can protect both you and the bird.
• Secure hold: Hold the pigeon gently but firmly. Support its body with one hand and keep its wings close to its body to prevent flapping.

4. Cleaning the Pigeon

• Partial cleaning: Focus on specific dirty areas rather than submerging the whole bird if possible.
• Use a damp cloth: For lightly soiled areas, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the feathers gently.
• Bath for heavier dirt: If a full wash is needed, place the pigeon in the water up to its chest. Avoid getting its head and neck wet unless absolutely necessary.

5. Rinsing

• Rinse thoroughly: If you used soap, make sure to rinse all of it out of the feathers using clean, lukewarm water.
• Avoid the face: Be careful not to get water in the pigeon’s eyes, nose, or ears.

6. Drying the Pigeon

• Pat dry: Gently pat the pigeon with a towel to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing as it could damage the feathers.
• Warm place: Keep the pigeon in a warm, draft-free area until it is completely dry. You can use a hairdryer on the lowest setting if the pigeon tolerates it, but keep it at a safe distance to avoid overheating.

7. Post-Cleaning Care

• Observe behavior: Watch the pigeon for signs of stress or discomfort after the bath.
• Provide food and water: Ensure the pigeon has access to fresh water and a safe, comfortable place to rest.

Additional Tips

• Do not use strong disinfectants or chemicals that can harm the bird’s sensitive skin and feathers.
• Limit baths to when absolutely necessary, as frequent cleaning can strip the natural oils from the pigeon’s feathers.

If the pigeon seems injured or unwell, contact a wildlife rescue center or avian veterinarian for guidance.

Do the search yourself you’ll see that you get a better answer.

The real fun is doing software emulation running inside your mental calculations.

I grew up with XP, vista was worse and windows 7 was ust better. Windows 8 was terrible. Windows 10 better than 8 but worse than 7.

I haven’t even try windows 11.

My poor european mind cannot understand the industrial bottle of 1000 ibuprofen tablets for a household.

Here they sell you packs of 20 tablets or something like that.

The thing is that we need a better donation system, for people to trust it.

An auditable system, and goal oriented.

I’m tired of donating to something and seeing that instead of the good project I wanted my money went to some crazy side project or to some over the top salaries for high corporate.

We need some kind of trustable platform that audits where donation money goes, and enforces binding of the donated money for the purpose it was donated for.

I got really burned with the whole wikiMedia thing. And since them I’m very cautious to who I donate to.
