The AI-rewrite should be considered a derivative, & therefore subject to the parent-license, I believe.

Except that AI doesn’t have any right to copyright, & therefore to licensing.

Which means that it’s just an illegal derivative made by a tool.

Reincarnation can be significant.

Oh, & genetic-testing is notoriously inaccurate, unless one is paying-for 1000x oversampling…

100x oversampling is the bare-minimum I’d consider useful.

The reincarnation thing: my “home” is what my soul/continuum remembers as “home” from some life as a buddhist Himalayan monk, many centuries ago.

To say that I don’t fit this modern world well is understatement.

Wrong values, wrong instincts, wrong frame-of-reference, wrong reactions, wrong everything.

Once I undertood it, then … life made MUCH more sense.

My unconscious has been trying to make my world fit its memory of my ( previous-incarnation’s ) world, & that’s impossible.

Once that became understood, then adapting & outgrowing-the-problem could begin.

I’m coming at this from another angle, & your being stuck in an MS-Surface may break it, but please try UbuntuStudio, on something: it augments Ubuntu-family with an entire sea of fixes for creatives.

Combined-Arms:

EVERY dimension you can stack, syncopating between them, so that whichever leverage works for you, it’s dismantling the unconscious-mind entrenched non-knowing you’re working on displacing.

Pimsleur is the standard for making language automatic.

The problem is that it doesn’t show you how your form the sounds ( may not be your problem, definitely is a problem with more-foreign-languages, for me ).

yt videos in the other languages, showing both simple-basics & social-situations, or whatever it is that you want to be watching ( maybe high-school science would be more interesting to watch than social-drama/stuff ).

Flashcards for getting the has-to-be-imprinted stuff, like verb-tenses, automatic…

intentional-socializing: asking some specific friend/group to help one learn…

Tandem, where you pair-up with someone for sake of learning: you help them learn, & they help you learn…

In short, use every angle/leverage you can, & keep applying them, until the ignorance yields, leaving language-facility in its place.

Young-people are essentially learning-sponges, so this perspective makes no sense for them, but for old people, this is how it works.

Oh, & learn songs, too: they’re learned by one’s non-linguistic hemisphere ( right, for 85% of the population ), so that’s another angle/lever to be using in learning language, too.

To this should be added the symbol formed by the Big Dipper, when one sees it at the solstices and the equinoxen: the traditional Hindu, Buddhist, Hopi, & Navaho, swastika/sun-cross.

In my religion it represents the equanimity-of-OceanOfAllAwakeSouls/GreatSpirit/G-D.

Earth’s gyroscopic axis precesses/wobbles around, so 13 millenia from now the polestar that we have won’t be this planet’s polestar…

but another 13 millenia later, it will be…

Our world is transient, but the steadiness of the spirit that cultivates its children ( which are souls ) … doesn’t change.

Wikipedia’s page on the swastika is decent…

The fact that humankind’s working itself into its global tantrum-pogrom, because humankind’s unconscious-mind isn’t grown-up, … kinda proves that growing-up’s required.

The problem isn’t that growing-up is either bad or good, it is that there are multiple dimensions of growing-up, & destroying one’s magic is called “growing-up”, but destroying one’s unconscious-ignorance, conquering one’s unconscious-self, is true growing-up.

but that isn’t valued, by any establishment, mundane, religious, class-system, prejudice, or any other “church-of-established-status” we’ve made…

To keep the magic AND to conquer the unconscious-self, THAT is the task that origin-of-souls asks of us…

Please read Haich’s “The Wisdom of the Tarot”, which is the profoundest psychology-book there is in English, & it’s on the archetype-states of human sentience ( & why they’re presented as “shuffleable cards”, because we can experience them in OUR order, not in anybody-else’s order )

Please read Haich’s “The Wisdom of the Tarot”, which is THE profoundest psychology-book I know-of, & it is on the archetype-states of human sentience.

Then make up your mind…

( the ebook doesn’t contain the illustrations, so if you can’t convert text-into-images, in your head, then get the physical edition, XOR use the Tarot.com Oswald Wirth images, which match.

The “new” Oswald Wirth images, of the cards on sale now, are wrong. )

Haich’s a treasure.

I lament Nova’s demise, too…

I think the reason that the tech companies won’t allow us to have our devices our own way ( Microsoft was doing this decades ago ), is “religious”/ideological, not practical:

I think they “need” to keep everybody permanently in a headlock, with our heads all twisted, because only if we are all in permanent learned-helplessness, only then can they automatically get away with everything they intend to be getting away with, in our world.

IOW, our autonomy violates their totalitarian religion, see?

It’s the same as how ANY spirituality grates on Dawkins’ blood: he wants it all gutted/butchered/destroyed, & suicides of ones he destroyed are no problem for him, & no alternative ever can have any validity to him.

Totalitarianism, whether traditionally “religious”, or in any other ideology/prejudice/religion, is the same: it HATES violation of its homogenous dominion.

( comically: homophobic-religions want a homogenous het humankind, with no violation of that homogeneity. The existence of homosexuals is too heterogenous for them )

Autonomy is something that totalitarian supremacism ideology “needs” to obliterate from the whole world.

Consistently.

It seems to be a damn-good diagnostic for it, even!

It also is true that ideologically-motivated-coding is an actual thing.

Imagine someone hating that their propaganda gets deleted by moderators, so they make it difficult for moderators to function that way…

while they, themselves, just so a SELECT on their DB to see the images, to delete all the ones they don’t want…

Remember, it isn’t only corporations who are committed to enforcing the Enshittocene, ideologues do, too.

Those comments are proven false by the dot-4 release of Lemmy, but I’m not accusing the Lemmy devs of being the way those post-quoted comments said.

I AM stating, bluntly, that deliberate torque on the use of ANY aspect of an app, is a thing, now, and need be considered as ONE of the possibilities.
