Already starting with the dad jokes before their child was born?

On the one hand I agree with you that following raise air isn’t helpful but there are at least 2 other people I can think of that I ignore who post online a lot and cause a lot of damage who you can’t ignore, Trump and Musk, they have their followings that make all interactions more toxic and don’t want to be ignored and will make rash decisions to not be. I’m not sure ignoring is the right decision because one of them bought power and the other conned their way into power, J.K. Rowling has some power and has thrown her weight in regards to that just not as much as others outside her focused political efforts which do suck. Does fascism grow in ignorance from those who don’t follow their dogma or does it starve for more attention and wither until it gets that attention?

The most tragic and obvious version of AI already doing that is the school that was bombed in Iran due to AI messing up at best.

Nah but that’s what he wanted, he is the truest form of tech bro, destroy the world, refuse to accept consequences of his actions, weaseled his way out of the situation and managed to, in the wake of unimaginable human suffering, get more power over people and has a god complex tell me this isn’t some or all the characteristics of people like Peter Theil, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, Bill Gates, hell even Tim Cook and Steve Jobs before him. Punishment doesn’t stop this sort of behavior but removing the possibility of someone having that level of control over others is the only way but the richest and most powerful have always sought ways of amassing more power not realizing that that leads to worse off situations for everyone including themselves, Horizon did great encapsulating that trait in Faro, but be it him, the people behind Skynet, the Matrix or whatever other tech dystopia that tech bros seem pathologically unable to not try to make happen in the worst way possible is only the beginning, they seem to forget that even with advanced tech that serves their needs and wants, which won’t help their mental health, the people lower down on the rungs of society have brains, wants and needs, and they have more expertise in all sorts of things than the 1% are except for mass exploitation. This inevitably goes wrong one of a few ways, either everyone dies from the tech, or so many that societal collapse is inevitable not great and even if society survives it can’t functionally reconstitute itself; 2 they win and kill off or supress enough of society that the society becomes less productive and instead of fighting the powerful they flee or don’t participate in wealth generating for the rich were they don’t have to, maybe to rise up again later or the economy of the region just ignores them completely and the government protects themselves from their people more than anything else, or 3rd your revolution with terror campaigns against any and all who can be credibly accused of being part of the former tyrants. In all 3 cases the richer people end up poorer overall because wealth flees or dies in autocracy.

It is called a poppy seed cake not a poppy seeds cake, they lived up to the letter of the name.

The historical version of this was the ww2 airplane patch job stats, where american bombers returning after getting hit were hit in specific areas and the statistician had to explain that those who returned despite that damage meant those were not the places to reinforce but the other areas of the plane makeing it more survivable, or more recently how Santa Monica CA almost removed crosswalks because that was where the highest pedestrian mortally rates were. In both those cases the people making the assumptions missed the bigger picture, for the planes that those who got hit in more sensitive spots got downed and for pedestrians getting killed at crosswalks that was because that is where pedestrians cross the street most of the time, almost leading to more deaths.

Fuck mega corporations who think we shouldn’t own but rent from them when they aren’t providing a service that is needed if they didn’t vacuum up all available resources in that area then rent it out.

About 1/3 of a % of a lightyear that’s hardcore that we’ve gotten something out that far.

Why don’t we table this discussion for a later date.

I hate that youtube music did that when google music worked better and allowed you to run it without connecting periodically. Now I have Grayjay and a music app I use in graphene, never been happier to listen to the people I subscribe to only and have to go out of my way if I want to doomscroll.

Hopefully nobody has the initials E. F. Pleasure Killer is not great.

Is Luke just pop rock or something?

Can’t say I ever watched his comedy, and only know him from his award show comedy roasts of the audience which were funny, but overall not my type of comedian. What did he do?

Eh he is a big failure, and failed up his whole life just like DJT. They managed to fail at being human beings with empathy, but musk is so awkward he failed to get an invite to the oedo parties.

So you’re making my point?

X is owned by a wannabe pedophile from what the Epstein files showed, so maybe X is the only one?

exhausted sigh “does anyone have anything to say that isn’t about Linux?”

“Microslop windows is trash, a waste of resources, poorly optimized, and spies on you.”

Could still be a human, just not a homo sapiens sapiens, but maybe a homo sapiens or homo Neanderthalis, maybe as far back as homo erectus, if it is in the branch of great apes that makes up humans that invented felacio.

I use Grayhay since it makes it so all platforms I follow are on there and I can easily download videos if I want, plus follow people like Louis Rossmann on peertube, YouTube, if they have patreon or nebula there too.

I am aware of both companies and am a customer because i want to encourage repairability however i also know that once the market is saturated with long term easy to fix products that the manufacturer will then not be able to sell new stock for a while, and Framework and Fairphone both have a solution to that by selling individual components for replacement or upgrade, but how much would a dishwasher or washing machine manufacturer be able to make off of O rings, or timing belts or something else cheap and easy to make, when amazon will sell lower quality ones at 1/2 the price that will work temporarily for either the repairman or cheap customer to fix their own machine. The incentive structure sucks for anything but enshitification at the moment.
