You are not alone. Isn't it strange how systematized interactions have counterintuitive effects on the outcomes of those interactions?

Be that as it may, I've long been skeptical of claims that gamified soc-nets allow important information to rise to the top. From what I can observe these systems seem to split singular loosely-aligned large groups into many cultural silos of mutual reinforcement.

Canada is working on passing laws to shut down conversation online. https://www.michaelgeist.ca/2022/02/lobby-harder-canadian-he...

The government won't even tell us what the heard when the asked Canadians about this the last time it was in the works.

I for one don't trust the government (or YouTube) with power to deem that certain facts are not true, as there is every reason to believe what is deemed true might change with the winds of public opinion.

Why do you imagine governments or YouTube might want to do that?

For people that know Ruby, if you haven't explored Ruby's CLI abilities, you definitely, definitely should[1][2]. When I was building my (free and open source) awk course[3] I fell in love with awk. When I later found out that Ruby has some of the same features, it changed my life:

Yep, ruby is a natural, pipeline friendly, command line companion out of the box.

Very cool, though I probably won't use it.

Because the regime demands it. I believe it should be possible to live without wars. That makes me a member of a small and shrinking minority.
