During my angsty teenage years, LiveJournal was where it was at. I remember writing in it daily, and even though I came from a small town, I had an audience who interacted with my journal. It felt real and vulnerable.
Why did we stop using it? Facebook came out, and all of a sudden, the world lived through status messages. AIM → LiveJournal → Myspace → Facebook → YouTube → TikTok. We went from instant connection and long-form thought to building spaces that felt like our own, only to abandon them in favor of performing for the world. Somewhere along the way, we traded vulnerability for likes.
I miss the community.
That said, I've been blown away by the people I've been meeting here on Inkwell. It's been a pleasure getting to know everyone, and I hope to continue meeting many more. I also hope others find one another through here and make meaningful connections. The one thing I've noticed so far is that I'm meeting people all over the world. Right now, that feels important.
Who else used LiveJournal? And who joined for the appeal of long-form writing?

Oh no sono venuto a conoscenza di Stremio. Oh no. Da quando ho iniziato ad usare Linux sono diventato un pirata. Aiuto. C’è un grosso conflitto di interesse.
Cosa è giusto e cosa è sbagliato. Fare scraping per allenare modelli LLM che rivendi a caro prezzo è giusto? Piratare un film di 40 anni fa è giusto? Se rubo ai ladri per dare ai poveri è eticamente corretto?
Perchè Altman, Musk e Bezos possono inquinare il nostro pianeta e farla franca mentre se pirato un film sono un criminale?

La militarizzazione di Starlink e il suo impatto sulla stabilità strategica globale
In questo articolo, due ricercatori della National University of Defense Technology, affiliata all'Esercito Popolare di Liberazione, sostengono che Starlink avrà un impatto negativo sulla stabilità globale, alla luce delle sue evidenti applicazioni militari, dell'aumento dei rischi di incidenti e collisioni nello spazio e dello stretto rapporto tra SpaceX e le forze armate statunitensi. Gli autori prevedono un aggravamento del dilemma della sicurezza man mano che altri Paesi reagiranno all'ampio dispiegamento di Starlink da parte degli Stati Uniti, con conseguenti ripercussioni sulla stabilità strategica nello spazio.

We no longer doing "Ai lies all the time and has no use case?"
I didn't get the memo.
