oh, I get it. the target of my ire isn’t just elmo, it’s the fact that so many smoothbrains can’t see the naked truth.

The fact that this obvious liar and fraudster is the worlds richest human has just broken my brain. My god humans are stupid.

I’ve been hoping I can pick one up off the salvage market when they inevitably close doors. I don’t give a shit about the AI part of it but I think the form factor could be fun to play with; for like $25 though.

I honestly thought it was common knowledge that these things were essentially free labor for training AI.

I am a huge fan of immich, been running it for quite a while, it started as just phone photo backup but it’s good enough that I’ve made it my primary photo repository (fully backed up of course). I will absolutely pay for a license but count me as one who doesn’t really like the terminology used.

I would happily put a donated or supporter badge to show off, but the unlicensed just feels a bit wrong. I have no trouble paying for software, especially as useful as immich, but in the enshittifying world we live in, such language gives one pause.

I used to make the same arguments but I’m middle aged now, have been supporting the left, volunteering, knocking on doors, donating, etc. for over 20 years now; but in all that time, shit has only gotten worse. I’m saddened every day what I’m leaving my children and it makes me feel awful to know that they will be fighting all the same fights I have and even more. I’m definitely no turnip supporter but I no longer believe that there will be any functional difference regardless of who wins. The ship is going down no matter who is captaining.

I would hold my nose and vote once again but even the best possible outcome is still a shit sandwich I’m not willing to take another bite of. So, I’m out, and yes, I do know that’s what they want, I just don’t care anymore.

yeah, this one has broken me, there’s no way I can support anyone who’s currently running. I’ll probably write in myself which I know is a waste but I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter anyway. we get to choose between genocide and the death of the nation, or take the comedy option on the guy who drove his wife to suicide while high on heroin to, I don’t know, give the brainworms something to do while dying of mercury poisoning…

I say this as a rare person who prefers to work in office.

Good.

Seriously, would much rather work with productive happy people. the remote work phenomenon has proven that between reduced traffic, the commercial real estate bubble, the fact that we’re literally all connected to each other 24/7 through the series of tubes means it’s about time we restructure the workforce.
