Gab is a Mastodon fork that doesn’t federate, much like Truth Social (except Gab did it first). They have a significant user base and it would be in everyone’s best interest for them to migrate to Nostr similar to what Minds is doing. #note1yj6…s9uu

The Second Coming
by William Butler Yeats
#plebchain
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

and that's precicely why I think that ChatGPT will never create on the level of humans and by extension is no threat to humanity in and of itself. Many people have churned out trash music for longer than I have been alive and will continue to do so. The best that ChatGPT can hope for is to be the trash at the top of the heap. Is it ever going to create a musical masterpiece that stirs your soul? No, because it has no soul of it's own. It's the culmination of a million monkeys typing. Is it trying to destroy the process of creation? Maybe. Is it going to succeed? Not likely (IMO). #note1mem…n6qn

Notesnook has a freemium model too. You have to pay to have more than 4-5 tags, etc. To each their own, but I tried it, not a fan.

Twitter is toxic, like all “social media.” NOSTR, at least for now, is an anti-social-media (tho not anti-social). There’s been a lot of talk lately of the need to build parallel systems and economies. NOSTR is the first place I’ve seen it actually happening. And that = hope. #note1ajy…mhwh

Tech advanced so fast in our lives that most don’t understand that they should care about their privacy. It’s up to those who do understand to build the systems that respect personal sovereignty.

Church, homeschool co-ops, club sports, etc, etc. Also, take a look at the kind of “socializing” that’s happening in many public schools today. Is that what you want for your kids?
I have five kids and have had each in different schools for different reasons at different times. Sometimes a certain one might need a certain style or environment.
But, IMO, if you can swing it, homeschooling is superior. You probably will give up some income and you’ll definitely give up some time. But what you don’t realize until you do it is the flexibility (freedom) that your family gains.
