If you're not a crude materialist, you can believe in eternal soul. Shouldn't we honor the dead, in that case?

Each country central bank should have its own national payment processing system. Why is this not a thing? Spain has Bizum, for example.

Perhaps science and technology should stay out of the only remaining area of untouched human nature.

Ever since I started using Zig, making everything reproducible has never been as easy as just using the Zig build system.

OpenBSD has had it since forever [1]. Why is such an obvious feature only reaching Linux now?

Because people don't go surfing on the web anymore, they stay in the same facebook-twitter-instagram-netflix-amazon-reddit loop forever.

Yes they can, everyone experienced can. It's part of having empathy.
>Especially when they're on their own "ride".

Psychedelics are nice and powerful - maybe too powerful. I don't trust the system to use them responsibly. I'd rather obtain and use them on my own than as part of some private - or governmental - initiative. There's no one to trust more than a good friend to be there for you when the ride gets bumpy, not some guy in a suit doing it for the money.

From a quick look, only the client is open source. The server software is still privative. Why did Mozilla fund this? There is no shortage of libre software of self-hosted image servers in need of funding.
