> But it looks like your examples are all examples of people being mean, or disruptive, or trolling.

That doesn't and shouldn't matter. I don't want people getting arrested for doing any of these things, even if I disagree with them. Do you know how disruptive it is to your life, let alone your emotional health, to be arrested?

I'm also a Dane. Denmark is worlds worse than the US in free speech and it's getting worse. This applies across the EU where people like the Spanish prime minister thinks no one deserves anonymity on the internet.

EU countries are in many cases far stricter.

Protesting against the US government in the streets will not get you shot in daylight. Protesting against the Iran government in the streets will get you shot in daylight or, worse, publicly hung.

Being gay will get you executed in Iran. Being gay in the US will not.

There is no comparison. You are not being serious.

I just realized I completely missed the grammar on this one: I meant dads of millenials.

I agree this is a terrible loss. On the other hand, new dads are actually learning how to feel their feelings, communicate those feelings in a healthy way, and tell their children they love them.

Millennial dads were (mostly) a distant mess who for whatever reason saw the expression of feelings as "weak".

Because the EU as a whole is quite happy to censor and generally wield the same tricks as "non-Western" countries in their desires to combat misinformation (however our EU bureaucrats define it), child abuse materials (see Chat Control that thing is not going to go away), and hatred (oh boy).

We've never guaranteed the right to free speech and because we haven't it's a slippery slope all the way back down to the furnaces of autocracy we sprang from.

The Spanish president has come out on record saying we don't deserve anonymity on the internet.

Ah, interesting, thanks! I think you might consider elevating some of that kind of copy.

The sociotechnical stuff with System Initiative was made by your CEO? The guy who is really into music? And I don't even know how long that product was a thing before the pivot. Not long!

Man what the hell happened to System Initiative. It was a super weird pivot from sociotechnical proclamations to a tool I honestly have no idea what it does for me? Is it n8n for agents? Is it needed when I have a bunch of skills that approximate whatever swamp is trying to do? Who knows!

Why would anyone move to a closed-source tool like yours? It's 2026.

I mean, yes it is, but we all know what happens to these projects when their primary devs move on or get acquihired. Keybase, anyone?

Wow Cirrus was like the one cool CI thing with first-class Podman support. RIP. Guess I'm looking elsewhere (and not at Dagger which refuses to support rootless Podman).

You can just have your bot use Telegram topics for this.

Between this, Anthropic and OpenAI all reducing usage caps on their plans is it safe to say that the easy tokens have run out and we're switching into the make-profit part of this cycle?

So you're comparing a generic tool you can tailor to your own needs to drugs?

This is exactly why I have zero interest in engaging with people over this topic.

This is one of those things that just is not true, no matter what sort of evidence is presented, because actual humans can go walk outside their door and see it isn't.

Denmark has ranked as one of the happiest countries for years running, but, Dane here, we hoover up antidepressants like it was our breakfast. There are also deep cultural factors at play that make Danes more likely to mask that everything is fine when it isn't. We have an extremely high incidence of cheating on our partners, which, surprise, comes from a talent for deception, both toward self and others, and we are extremely emotionally avoidant, which results in our nationally very high rate of alcohol consumption and alcoholism.

These happiness indexes are a complete sham and don't observe the full spectrum that goes into how cultures present themselves versus lived reality.

> If I gave you a great tasting cake made of boiled plastic would you still eat it?

How is that analogy in any way relevant?

The OpenClaw I control is extremely useful to me. I've never been more excited about technology than right now. If it's not for you, I really don't care. Go do something you enjoy. Turning it into Chicken Little doomerism is completely uncalled for.

I tried to set up Briar recently so my partner and I could text on the plane. We tried everything including manual exchange of the special links and QR code pairing and nothing worked. This was even while we still bad ground internet access.

I mean, unless you have a life-threatening emergency, it's the way the entire Danish healthcare system runs.
