I wonder if it'd be practical of some counter-technology of feeding posts through an LLM first, to "normalize" it to some more deterministic, less-distinct way of sentence structure and word choice. Though of course I'm sure that would make interaction a little more bland.

At the same time though, I have been able to mentally correlate alts of some people on my own, in just a casual effort, regardless of how many name changes some people do.

I wonder if there'll be a point where home-fabbing could ever be remotely practical, like to the hobbyist level of 3D printing. Having terabytes of storage, gigabytes of RAM, gigahertz of compute is luxury (and some of that only being requisite to high-resolution video/rendering; many other things can be done with far less).

Meanwhile if it were possible to homebrew something to early/mid-90s era specs at least, then that would be space enough for folks to be technologically independent, at some level.

That should be recoverable though (old file should be moved to a .dpkg-old counterpart, for apt-based distros). I think the worst is Dovecot making breaking changes with it's config syntax between minor versions (as between 2.3 and 2.4) without backwards-compatibility.

Also for PGP, I just offer a web-based PGP encryption tool, with the public key embedded, to make it stupid-proof.

It's also conversely weird where people hold the belief that if they were insanely rich, that their life would be substantially better.

Yes, you would no longer have financial stressors (then again, if you're not stupid and blow it all and end up broke..), wouldn't have an obligation to work, but then some people also start to lack finding purpose or function in life on their own. You've 100%ed the game, what objectives are left?

But even moreso is all the fake people. That you could be a center of attention to a crowd, but where it's not genuine. It's not where [at least most] people even actually care about you personally, and are more interested about being in your proximity just for your status and money. If you're too notable, you can't live as a nobody anymore. You're also a magnet for the occasional crazy person that you've never met.

I remember there being a news article about one notable figure that had made it very big, that they felt essentially alone and depressed. There was such a condescending public response, of people mocking said person, as if it's like impossible to be a multi-billionaire and also be depressed, even as a genuine person (not like someone that faked their way and used people to get to their status, whereas in that case, it'd certainly be due).
