It’s so conceited to think the Jews are making you gay. They are a busy people and do not care about your love life. The Illuminati do put ‘the subliminal messages turning you into a femboy’ into all of your entertainment, but that was really more of a joke that got out of hand.

The sale to a right wing Trumpbuddy proves what I have been saying. The position of the US government is quite consistent: “WE get all of your data.”

Jay and the BlueSky team are useless libertarian assholes, but I generally like the vibe of BlueSky with the exception of their “moderation”. I’m looking forward to the protocol being truly federated.

Why is Mac wearing a hardhat?

When people were up in arms about China getting data from TikTok, I wondered if they had any idea of what the NSA does.

Lying that they have the Reddit comments that they showed everyone?

Anyway, Reddit is one of the most scraped sites on the internet. Be sure that everyone who wants an archive of Reddit has an archive of Reddit. Anything you put on the internet is forever.

I don’t exactly mean to say this is nothingburger, but it is one of the more boring bits of living in a dystopia and is too low on the list of evil shit Palantir is doing to care that much about.

If the venemous claws fit.

Are you under the impression that third party contractors are not paid wages?

From the day we arrive on this planet, and, blinking, step into the sun…

Look, buddy, if you don’t give me what I want, I’m gonna punch myself in the face! Don’t even try me, asshole, or I swear I will turn around and shove my head completely inside my own ass. You think that’s funny? Seeing me bend over backwards and shoving this gargantuan skull into a crevice where neither God nor man ever intended it to be? Now STFU and buy my soybeans.

I don’t feel like you read the entire comment you replied to.

Yes, AI is a tool with horrifying implications. Machine learning has some interesting use cases, but if one had any hope that it would be implemented well, that should be dashed by the way it is run by the weirdest bros imaginable with complete contempt for the concept of consent.

Every couple years I decide to switch to Linux, spend few weeks trying to get everything to work right, then give up and go back to Windows.

I feel like I’m in a “Goldilocks zone” where I’m enough of a power user that doing what I want in Linux takes quite a bit of work to get set up, but not enough of a power user that I enjoy the technical challenge.

Most recently I was trying to play a couple modded video games, and run a headless HTPC. One thing would work on one distro, another would work on another, but I couldn’t get everything to work at once.

The problem is that they realized that they could do both.

I did not at all lose the birth lottery. Being Black is fucking awesome. I just need the rest of y’all to act like you have some sense.

I’m not sure how many classrooms do this, but it is becoming less common.

As a Black American the number of white people saying “Who could have known” what we have been screaming at them is infuriating.

As a leftist, the people who said we were overreacting about the Patriot Act 25 years ago (and continuously since) are now saying that we devolved into fascism quickly.

Lots of insult intended. More insult than you can imagine. If you’re reading this and you have been complacent, it’s time to get into the streets.

Y’all got to take the word “distract” out of your vocabulary. Israel is not committing genocide to distract from the Epstein files.

I don’t really know or care much about Greta Thuneberg. But I wouldn’t criticize her unless my activism was objectively more effective than hers…and I don’t think that describes either of us.

Bug if true

I was unclear. What I mean is that you shouldn’t confuse a phrase being cute for being supported by evidence. You’re making an assertion, but it’s really just nihilism.

No system of governance is perfect, but capitalism concentrates the most power in the greediest and most willing to cheat and steal. And one reason the US is so terrible is that our constitution is so old and written specifically to allow rich white men to control everything.

It’s a pithy quote that doesn’t mean anything.
