@evan it 1000% already is running this software and has been for a long time.

@skinnylatte I’d be down…

@carnage4life “don’t get into anything at all” —> ok so socialist Star Trek economy with no money and no requirement to work when?

@pixplz @dalias depends on the teacher.

The regime has already done so much illegal and unconstitutional crap that their only option is total power, otherwise they all are in deep shit. I think they know it and are incredibly afraid, driving many of their behaviors.

All members of the military: remember your oath.

There needs to be big signs in front of every Republican senator and congressperson’s house that just say:

How much longer?

They know. We need them to not be able to ignore their own cowardice.

@SuperDicq @collectifission if they believe in AI so much, it should have no problem doing the job of CEO.

We (or really, I, personally, but I think you also) should think of #SocialMedia primarily as a brain-rotting time suck that genuinely significantly ruins our lives, rather than a small inconvenience or leisure activity.

Corporate social media saps us of our time, attention, focus, sense of reality, self-confidence, and self-determination. It is a net negative for almost every single person I’ve talked to about it. It steals our life from us.

I know when I’m older, I will not care about how much Reddit karma I have, or how many upvotes I got on witty comments. I won’t care how much time I spent endlessly watching video loops, or what influencers I saw. It’s all meaningless time theft.

Treat it more like a hard drug in your mind, not a harmless little thing. Act and decide accordingly.

Elephant in the room: #Mastodon and the #Fediverse are certainly less addictive, less time sucking, less attention seeking, and more wholesome and social than corporate socials.

But they are not perfect. The drug is still the same, and we should be very careful to not just replace one form of time suck with another.

Especially as we design open social experiences, this should be a paramount consideration and a design goal. Non-addictive and life-affirming social media should be a design goal for the Fediverse and the future of social media in general.

They really don’t get it. They think the mass fear and worry is some kind of conspiracy operation.

They don’t understand that people genuinely dislike what’s happening on a mass scale.

Scary.

They are in the process of destroying the Federal government of the United States.

We need to face that as the truth of the situation, and do everything in our power to stop it.

This is so much better than dual-booting.

- Windows 11 running in KVM
- Dedicated 2nd graphics card (cheap 1030)
- ParsecVDA virtual display adapter, always on and passing video
- Looking Glass for live-speed video
- Creative Cloud and Lightroom working as though native
- MacOS Catalina in a VM on the side just for fun
- Upgraded to 64GB of RAM to make all this work.

I won't be gaming on it, but it runs Lightroom just fine, which was my last holdout application I couldn't live without.

After a quick check of my backups I can wipe my dual-boot Windows drive completely, finally!

40 years ago, you could afford to not just survive, but live somewhere decent, enjoy life, travel, have kids, eat at restaurants, and even save a little. All of that was attainable and normal, with a normal job.

The reason it isn’t for us is NOT that we aren’t working hard enough or making good decisions about spending, it’s because the wealthy have systematically siphoned off every cent that they can—the wealth that is rightfully ours from the labor we generate and contribute to society—and taken it for themselves by sheer power and absence of resistance.

Never forget that. Never accept it.

@klausfiend @mekkaokereke It's what happens when you make 8 pies instead of the reasonable three (speaking from experience)

This “is it racism and sexism” vs “is it the economy and selfishness” debate is going to tear liberals apart.

It’s not one or the other, folks. It can be both, even in one person, and they feed into each other. Gotta embrace the whole pile of shit that is America, it’s not a competition.

@a1ba also works for audiophiles!

Nearly all business software, at its peril, is dreadfully afraid of having an opinion about how its users should do their jobs.

The principal reason is that it does not confidently understand its users jobs better than they do (a pursuit that should be required of a company designing software to help with a job, in my opinion) and is therefore ill equipped to recommend better.

Imagine the world if understanding the fields we purport to help was so elevated as to actually have a chance of improving them.
