It’s all part of a probe to gauge sympathy for an Alien race orbiting an unstable star system, hoping to relocate to Earth and build an army of sympathisers.

Have married off your son to his sister yet?

Radical suggestion:

• Once a year you buy a hard drive that can handle all of your data.
• rsync everything to it
• unplug it, put it back in cold storage

Yes you did. Have I ever told you that I have deep personal feelings for you? Let’s meet at your place with two plates, and we can discuss

Espeak doesn’t get better, but nor does it get worse

That would be attacking the public though. Destroying Art is something that is technically accessible to all, but practically only studied and coveted by the wealthy (who have time and financial assets to pursue it)

I run a fediverse server. It gobbles 60Watts, paid for by my energy company who promise they’re switching to solar, but aren’t there yet.

I get the impression that the fediverse is an adhoc mixture of different email servers talking to each other. Energy-free is a nice ideal, but not a reality.

I’ma gonna go with “adhoc-net”

Robots could augment the firefighters tasks without replacing them, but the economy doesn’t want that

Its a thought experiment involving a room where people write letters and shove them under the door of the Chinese kid’s dorm room. He doesn’t understand what’s in the letters so he just forwards the mail randomly to his Russian and Indian neighbours who sometimes react angrily or happily depending on the content. Over time the Chinese kid learns which symbols make the Russian happy and which symbols make the Indian kid happy, and so forwards the mail correspondingly until he starts dating and gets a girlfriend that tells him that people really shouldn’t be shoving mail under his door, and he shouldn’t be forwarding mail he doesnt understand for free.
