     @mttaggart I want quality content. While often that doesnt come from AI I wouldnt care if it did, in theory.

     @mttaggart I get some friends saying that the same stuff was said about computers, internet, even the printing press. But AI feels quite different to me. I resent the unpaid plunder of people's work for training data for machines that belong to billionaires. That has strong echos of colonial appropriation of art and knowledge, except we're all now in the colony being appropriated by a small class of essentially stateless billionaires. 1/2

     @mttaggart In classic economic terminology, it is rent seeking on an immense scale, and that historically has led to war. But my main objection, that overshadows all else, is that it makes an absurdity of any climate action. None of our coal port blockading, recycling, growing food, conserving water repairing, bicycling, electing Greens or Teals is going to have any impact at all on shooting past 3 degrees into a hellscape while there is AI. We can't have AI and a planet to live on.

     *banging desk*
     Fucking use Linux!

     Whatever you don't want, you just leave out. Don't want AI? Don't install an AI.
     For real, people need to abandon these main stream devices and OSes that keep throwing this shit in. If you hate it, stop using it! And no, Linux is not "too hard". There's advanced distros, and distros aimed towards beginners.

     Now stop buying Windows with Copilot, God damn it!

     Totes fair on the mobile OS.
     Linux phone is NOT ready. Even *I* am not rocking a Linux phone yet. (I am very eagerly waiting for it to become ready! I WANT IT SO BADLY!)

     And yes, I know some people get shoved in to Windows at work. Most do, actually. But your personal machine, Linux it up! ESPECIALLY those of you who just do web browsing, word, and emails.

     @hellomiakoda @jonathan This is Mastodon. You are screaming at the choir. For everyone else, please understand that desktop operating system is not always a personal choice. And show me a mobile OS accessible to most users that avoids this technology.

     According to one of the talks at @DitchSummit , in 2025 75 percent of information will be AI generated.
