Yea, while his fire in a theater example was spot-on his other opinions were less useful.
You also cant scream fire in a theater as they say.
Freedom of speech does not really mean "I can say anything at any time"... what it means, or at least should mean, is that I can hold any opinion I want, and express and discuss that opinion.
Well whether they are corrupt or not its clear agenda has gotten so strong its less about cold hard facts and more about selling a specific idea, even if that means controlling the narrative.
I have **no** problem with the government spending money on science backed educational programs to help get people making better decisions... but actually forcing the speech of others in one way or the other, such as censorship... fuck no.
Huh? What an odd thing to get worked up over.. Oh no someone compiled a curated list of matrix rooms. How ever will you get by having to see such things in your federated timeline.
So I setup a list of maybe 30 highly active matrix rooms organized into Matrix Spaces on the QOTO Matrix server (though you can access them from any spaces enabled matrix server).
Just login to your existing matrix account on any server, or register for a free one at https://element.qoto.org (registration open to everyone). Then join any of the following spaces (make sure you turn on spaces in your config under labs first).
Please let me know if you have any rooms you'd like to suggest to be added to any of the below spaces. Also, feel free to create your own space and share it.
#QOTO_space:qoto.org - Rooms related to QOTO itself
#Fediverse_space:qoto.org - Various rooms from matrix servers that have a fediverse hosted as part of the same community.
#STEM_space:qoto.org - A collection of general topic STEM rooms like Electronics, Physics, Math, etc.
#Regional_space:qoto.org - Rooms specific to Countries, towns or regions around the world.
#Projects_space:qoto.org - Channels for various open-source projects
#linux-distros_space:qoto.org - Rooms for various linux distribtuion flavors.
FYI did you know QOTO has its own Matrix server now? Open registration for all:
I am not a huge gamer either. But I do have 4 of the most powerful water cooled graphics card they make which I use for Data crunching (OpenCL). So with such powerful graphics cards I feel obligated to abuse them on games from time to time just see see it push 120 GPS at maxed out graphics settings :)
Why not? My linux box can easily play more games than windows can. It plays almost all windows games without bugs, and on top of that whatever linux-only games. I can max out all the graphics settings also on most games.
@Bradley_JF Oh thats easy... install linux.
