Okay. I tried adding bluesky to Flare so I could see that as well as my Mastodon and GoToSocial and...

I remembered how much bluesky looks and feels and acts like twitter did.

Its not bad, but its not what I want anymore. Its very stream of consciousness and superficial.

I know a lot of that is because my algorithm isn't tailored yet, but its different from a fresh mastodon feed.

Mastodon there is nothing and I must build a good feed from nothing. Bluesky there is something and I must beat it with a soft mallet until the home is made. And I don't want to do that anymore.

Okay, so while that federates:

Anyone have #fediverse #microblog #app recommendations?

I'm wanting an Open Vibes type of fedi client for now so I can post to both my Hachyderm and my GoToSocial instance at the same time just until it's got stuff and is out there

Also you can eventually find me at

I might be stupid. I'm trying to set up a GoToSocial Docker container on my docker server and then serve it via cloudflare tunnels to the web to give it a TLS and everything.

I am not seeing anything and I think I'm too dumb to find the server on my local network

@housepanther@social.goblackcat.com Same and I really think this starts with treating spiritualistic people with respect. These are folks with real profound experiences they've attributed to their spiritual understanding of the world and there is almost no amount of pure reason we can throw at that to convince them to be atheists. Worse still calling their practices barbaric and their beliefs idiotic and they'll just continue to see us unenlightened forces of evil or something.

Reading Sam Harris's "Waking Up" gives the same vibes as when I read "the Satanic Bible" by Anton Levay.

It has interesting ideas and actionable advice to improve my spiritual life through meditation and contemplation, but it also refuses to present that in an isolated way because both books are positioned against something.

The Satanic bible isn't just self help its self help WHILE ALSO hating Christians.

Waking Up isn't just a book on consciousness and meditation its that WHILE ALSO being mean about the traditions that spawned the ideas.

Its the exact hateful tone that pushed me far outside of the Nu-Atheist movement a life time ago and its still gross.

If you want to be an atheist and have good experiential meditative practices, I don't recommend Harris. I do recommend "Opening Awareness" by Charlie Awbrey. Its a very cut down guide to meditation and why with almost no Woo if that's a concern for you. I also recommend https://aroterlineage.org/ Its a website for Aro gTer Buddhism so it is a lot of Woo, but their meditation news letter is actually really good. You sign up for it and every week you get a new task to focus on while meditating until you eventually won't need it anymore. These are both recommendations from a good friend of mine and do a much better job of what Harris is trying to do since its not poisoned by his hatred of religion.

This would genuinely be a better book if Sam didn't feel the need to remind the reader every few pages that the notion of god is ridiculous or that reincarnation is a fantasy. It makes it feel unfocused and unprofessional. Less like a guide to spirituality for non believers and more like a rant against all sorts of religious beliefs with the occasional "Oh but you can do that too. So long as you don't believe its god" I do sympathize a bit in that I agree with what line hes wanting to toe between rational evidence discussion and experiential manual. He wants to write a book on the science of consciousness and also a guide on how and why we should meditate to experience a "higher self" without using any of the airy, woo-y language of traditional meditative schools. He's just too much of a dickhead to respect the ideas enough to properly secularize them.

@adriano @davidrevoy @cwebber So many AI generated comics have that problem of the characters looking past each other and that's been a good tell for me. Its crazy how well asking simple art questions like "where's the light coming from" and "where are the characters looking" can expose AI

@neurovagrant Its crazy how little of in issue it would be if 1) AI CEOs weren't greedy about training data. So the bots wouldnt siphon corprate and private data to use as training data. 2) Openai wouldn't have a feature to make chats visible on the internet. 3) Microsoft didn't make a folder filled with screenshots of EVERYTHING YOUVE EVER DONE. And most importantly 4) We stopped giving LLMs full fucking access to our computers, networks, and credit card information. Like there's absolutely no reason for them to be such a security risk. These are all things that if they just asked one person who isn't sniffing a Tech CEOs farts all day their opinion. Now we have assholes like Pete Hegseth trying to super glue ChatGPT to a tomahawk missile!

History is an interesting field because you are mostly reading the works of other, ancient historians.

Its a correspondence between you now, a long dead individual who felt what was happening then was important enough to write about, and, if you write too, someone else in the future.
