Kirk

As I brought up in the title of my post, she's currently the highest level role at a morally questionable company. She has a pattern of behavior of working at morally questionable companies.

Because the claims of people involved with cryptocurrency are historically very untrustworthy, that's why.

The thing that got me interested is that BlueSky says it's "decentralized" but the more I look into it, it's only "decentralized" using a very narrow, highly technical definition of the term "decentralized".

Cryptocurrency is the same. People with a financial stake in cryptocurrency often say it is "decentralized" but it's only true if you accept their extremely narrow definitions of what that word means.

A PDS still requires BlueSky's servers

I don't understand it at all. Where are all the supposed blueskys? It's so easy to fact check.

I'm moreso curious if it federated in a literal sense. Is it even possible to participate without using bsky.app's servers?

Yeah true, I suppose that kind of defeats my whole idea that Vulcans would self-destruct if they allowed emotions to control them.

I haven't seen the episode yet that I think you're alluding to, but yes Vulcans have always been presented as having a kind of Buddhist-style philosophy with the important qualification that they would literally destroy themselves as an advanced race without it. The "religion" is an important social technology to enable them to explore the cosmos.

It's obviously alluding to humans too, if we can't control our innate animal reactions like tribalism and greed then we too will not be able to harness our own (physical) technology without self-destructing.

Yeah like I said: "vibes"

This is actually really funny

I agree the Gamble plot was great and the actor nailed it.
