I dont see it. I am guessing you deleted it? Either way glad it worked for you... ill be working on it for a few more days to make it look pretty and add in some more features maybe

@flear

Last time I was in the hospital I was astonished to find the nurses didnt have access to even a single essential oil! They didnt even have safe smudges for their operating rooms! How ya gonna cut somebody open and not even cleanse the room of evil spirits first... Thats just wreckless.

@healthiswealth

@timorl

> You could say the same about poverty

Sure poverty is fairly close to always bad (you can argue it gives character, but only if you actually get out of it at some point)..

So yes you shouldnt be "I am pro poverty I want more people to be poor!" (extreme left communism)... and you shouldnt be "I am anti poverty and I think 100% of people should be billionairs (extreme left to the point of pooling all the money and letting everyone else die)....

Neither extreme is good, so again, we have centrism being best, where people want to eliminate the poor, but not the rich, but also accept that the middle glass should thrive.

@timorl

Except not... racism is a clear evil, it is bad in any quantity and when you facilitate others doing it through inaction it is virtually always wrong.

So yes being on the fence as to whther a minority is "equal enough" and going "thats an ok about of pain they deal with ill accept it".. is never acceptable. It is evil in all proportions.

So no,, we cant apply that to other things too often because most things are not as wholly evil as racism is. If the choice is between locking down the borders complete with no exception or having completely open boards (two radical non-moderate extremes on views)... you have something that is not wholly one sided evil... Either of those choices in their radical extreme can and will harm communities. Where moderate solutions may find actual long term workable solutions.

In fact, we find that outside of a few exceptioons most things have valid arguments on both sides where only a moderate could hope to reach a good balance effective solution that actually fixes the problems.

@lxo Do you have anything he said or did that would suggest this to be true? Because his actions, that I know of, dont do anything to suggest this.

At the time moderate wasnt even use as a term to describe a region of the political spectrum.

@smallcircles

Wonderful, thank you. Please be sure to ping me if you or anyone in the thread needs anything I can help with.. I guess now that i have eyes on this I should get a contributors file together so those people who contributed work I snatched from get proper credit and all....

@flear @justin @h @neil

@neil My work took me about 24 hours as of now (and a lazy 24 hours at that)... its not much... I also took most of the bits and pieces from previous failed attempts and just fixed the bugs...

But yea if anything just know if i can slap this together in 24 hours it isnt too hard and you will probably see some real progress if your making this a medium term thing.

Side note, QOTO is looking for developers to hire to help... since you want to code AP feel free to consider if you'd like

@neil

Tagged you into the other thread where i explained it... let me know if you need help if you take a closer look.

@justin

@lucifargundam

We do and i spent some time fixing it so should run pretty fast now I hope.

@koyu

@smallcircles

Well mine is 100% working.. you can follow a user, and you get the accept back.. it even sends the create push to followers when new articles come out, so you get it in your feed.

Check it out here: @flear

If anyone comments, stars, or reshares an article on the fedi it shows on the static website as comments on that site..

Basically all the core features you need are there and working. Feel free to use it

@justin @h @neil

@timorl

> Are you seriously suggesting that race was not a (if not the!) political issue then? o.0 Not to mention it still is now.

Literally anything and everything can and is a politicial issue, then and now...

Science is a big political issue too with the right thinking the scientific community are liars and corrupt and with the left generally saying to follow the science as a mantra... Does that mean if someone calls me a "moderate scientist" that they are implying im politically moderate? Of course not

Racism was politicial, but calling a moderately racist white person as somehow meaning the same as a person with an overall political stance that is moderate is absolutely not the same.

MLK made it clear in two ways

1) he has never said or suggested he was talking about political moderates, on racist moderates 2) he has explicitly taken a centrist/moderate political opinon in what he has said and done time and time again.

@koyu sometime this weekend we should do a chat or something. Been meaning to catch up with ya.

@smallcircles

I'm just a bit jaded. I've been here since the earlier days of the fedi, I run one of the older server instances too.... the people have been so overwhelming toxic in this community since day one I have become jaded

@justin @h

@icedquinn No one gets rights until it is a threat :)

@icedquinn Oh for sure.. the reason robots arent copyrightable isnt because they learned (stole) from people... its because it makes no sense for a machine to hold a copyright... and it also makes no sense for a human who didnt execute the creative process to get a copyright from a machine that did.

@icedquinn there is a valic argument (and many books written about it) how the law is not understandable by your average person... so no argument there is a valid point there... but we are wayyyyyy past that point.

@icedquinn its not about the fact that it copies from someone else... if it only learned from your collectiction of work and was creatively creating from itit wouldnt be enough... it would have to be enhancing specific works... If i do a painting of a face and it goes over it and adds more detail but it looks creatively like the original for example.

@icedquinn I dont think easy should be the goal.. correct should be the goal. Correct isnt always easy....

That said I think the ftc gets close-ish to something reasonable. But thats not enough for me, too simple.

@timorl He did **not** have a negative view of **political** moderates... he had mentioned criticisms of "White moderates" but they were moderate in the sense of the politicial spectrum.. he was talking about whites who were not vocal against racism while not actively being racist themselves... he was purely talking about a moderate stance on racism, not politics.
