AI6YR Ben (ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org)'s status on Tuesday, 05-Dec-2023 08:33:10 JST AI6YR Ben @paul @ummjackson I am quite familiar with the "but that's market rate for a CEO" arguments, I think all the nonprofit people here who believe that have blocked me already, LOL. I may be naive and clueless about such things, but when a nonprofit pays exorbitant amounts to their executives (even if that's "market rate for talent")--and relies on free volunteers for everything else-- I feel like our system is very, very broken. I have no objection to "nonprofit CEO being paid decent middle class salary", but when the "nonprofit CEO must be able to afford their mansion/yacht like the rest of the CEOs" it just make me very sad.

AI6YR Ben (ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org)'s status on Thursday, 13-Apr-2023 05:38:00 JST AI6YR Ben Hmm, Jack Dorsey's new "decentralized" social service, Nostr, appears to be based on Crypto/Bitcoin, and "free speech" (ie post all the hate you want, can't be suppressed or deleted -- it's encoded into the distributed ledger -- you accept the feed, and you have to take the hate chained into the whole thing). I guess that's a hard "NO THANK YOU" for me. Also, enough of burning GPU cycles (and the planet) for virtual money.
