Sometimes I get sleepy, but my brain doesn’t stop thinking. I listen to storybooks with music to help me sleep. When I try to count sheep, I end up daydreaming. And when I listen to music, I forget about it and start daydreaming again. If the story is super interesting, I stay awake longer. But the most sleepy audiobooks for me are the boring ones or the ones I already know. Today, I’m trying to write my thoughts down, maybe it will help me stop thinking so much and make my head less full!




  1. Discord (proprietary) vs. Matrix (open-source)

    • Reason: for its search functionality.
  2. Steam (proprietary) vs. GameVault (open-source)

    • Reason: Steam offers a polished user experience, a large library of games, and a well-established community.
  3. Spotify (proprietary) vs. Funkwhale (open-source)

    • Reason: Spotify offers a more polished user interface, a larger library of music, and personalized recommendations.
  4. Strong or Hevy (proprietary) vs. ? (open-source)

    • Reason: offers a user-friendly interface and a wide range of features for tracking workouts.
  5. Moon+ Reader Pro (proprietary) vs. FBReader (open-source)

    • Reason: for its intuitive interface and customizable reading experience.
  6. Sleep as Android (proprietary) vs. ? (open-source)

    • Reason: for the variety of features and integrations with other devices.
  7. Google Maps (proprietary) vs. OpenStreetMap (open-source)

    • Reason: for its accurate maps, real-time traffic updates, and extensive points of interest.

What are the open-source alternatives though? I don’t think there are even proprietary alternatives, it’s like Netflix before each publisher decided to make their own streaming platform.


The maximum likelihood estimate date for AGI according to metaculus is 2027

After we achieve AGI you don’t need to send humans anywhere because a robot could do anything a human can and probably better.

And this Kurzgesagt video explains how asteroid mining could be done. Unlimited Resources From Space – Asteroid Mining

You are right that it wouldn’t make much sense going to other solar systems or invading alien planets when there are so many minerals on asteroids and planets closer to Earth like Mars.


I don’t know, perhaps they want to double the budget and they need a better excuse.


The only question you need to ask to determine practicality is, “What is the return on investment?” We don’t mine the seas or asteroids because they wouldn’t be worth it. However, as soon as the technology becomes cheap enough, you can bet that there will be investors putting money into extracting resources from those locations. The same principle applies to other planets – if it’s profitable, it will be pursued.


For the same reasons we would visit them, for cultural exchange or to steal their resources in the case of the US empire.


All this talk of national security is eerily familiar… They actually did the same after 9/11. I think they are just trying to get more military funding for a war against aliens that never comes, and drum up fear so they can take away even more rights from the people, all in the name of “national security”.



That’s nice but the thing is if you posted those side effects on Facebook they would have to remove it because of the US government pressure. What do you think about that? Shouldn’t people be able to share and read those side effects on any platform they choose online?


What? It wouldn’t be the first time they have documents leaked. Last time they may have even changed their name to Meta because of it.

Some experts believe that the name change from Facebook to Meta was an attempt to stave off the tsunami of bad press following misinformation on its platforms, content moderation failures, and revelations about the negative effect its products have on users’ mental health.

She’s just reporting, she’s not making a video dissecting and proving everything for you, if you want one of those maybe you should search for some multiple hour video of a conspiracy theorist on a whiteboard. If she believes in the side effects maybe she has reported on it at some point. I know most people aren’t going to believe anything they don’t hear on mainstream media even when they are just censored US propaganda outlets whose purpose isn’t to inform people. But independently of who we each trust what is your answer to the main question, just disregard the body if you don’t like it.


My angle is that the US government wants to censor even this type of information just for pointing at side effects, and people should be pissed but they just don’t seem to care, and I’m wondering why they don’t care about the US censoring this information.



Write it on a scientific paper and see how much I care about it. Why people are incapable of answering a simple question?


You haven’t understood anything. I remember the speech when Biden looked into the camera and said “our patience is running out with anyone who refuses the vaccine”. At that point I knew this had nothing to do with health. I believe it’s a way to control people. Let the antivaxx opinions back to the platforms so people can make informed decisions about their health.


Well if the mainstream media knew they wouldn’t tell you either since they just go along with the government public statements.

The US propaganda machine explained


Don’t tell me what to do. YOU are the one going offtopic instead of answering a simple question, which is what this was about, so if YOU don’t want to answer the question just leave the community.


No one is talking about the deceased. As long as I know the side effects include myocarditis in 1 out of 35 people vaccinated, so if someone dies of it, it wouldn’t automatically be attributed to the vaccine, specially with the US censoring the relation between vaccine and side effects.

Myocardial Injury after COVID-19 mRNA-1273 Booster Vaccination

But I found the paper in a Rumble video so I guess that makes it misinformation right @Veraticus@lib.lgbt ? Or is it just when you disagree with it?


There’s no proof the papers are real

You couldn’t even be bothered to search for “The Facebook Papers” they are discussed by the CNN, I don’t know if that makes them real to you. You clearly don’t trust the image of the papers that the video is showing for some reason.


Why do you think people should or shouldn't know about the side effects of the COVID vaccine?

I've seen [a video](https://youtube.com/watch?v=uAneG14rEI0) talking about the leaked Facebook files where it says they should remove true information about side effects. It says Facebook should remove: > True information: > > a. Delta: The Surgeon General wants us to remove true information about side effects. Why do you think people should or shouldn't know about the side effects of the COVID vaccine? There are people questioning the veracity of the quote so I've searched a bit and found some sources. ::: spoiler spoiler - [New Documents Confirm Biden Regime Pressured Facebook To Remove TRUE Information About Side Effects Of COVID Shots](https://thewashingtonstandard.com/new-documents-confirm-biden-regime-pressured-facebook-to-remove-true-information-about-side-effects-of-covid-shots/) - [New Documents Confirm Biden Regime Pressured Facebook To Remove TRUE Information About Side Effects Of COVID Shots](https://beforeitsnews.com/u-s-politics/2023/07/new-documents-confirm-biden-regime-pressured-facebook-to-remove-true-information-about-side-effects-of-covid-shots-2606111.html) - [Jim Jordan’s Facebook Files: Biden Pressured Company to Remove Humorous Vaccine Posts, Info About Side Effects](https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2023/07/28/jim-jordans-facebook-files-biden-pressured-company-to-remove-humorous-vaccine-posts-info-about-side-effects/) - [‘Facebook Files’ 2.0 Reveal White House Pressured Facebook To Censor ‘True’ Content](https://thefederalist.com/2023/07/31/facebook-files-2-0-reveal-white-house-pressured-facebook-to-censor-true-content) - ["facebook" "remove true information about side effects"](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22facebook%22+%22remove+true+information+about+side+effects%22&ia=news) :::
