@whitequark Approximately 5.412062e-17 pc?

@whitequark Only when I’m physically in the same room, otherwise it’s too easy to misread. Sometimes it’s the fastest way to drive home a point. E.g. my reaction to all the “AI” crammed down our collective throats, and management asking if I could stop disabling it company wide as soon as I spot it was “Sure! The computer violates the NDAs for us; no more leaking to the press required!” They agreed it’s a good idea to disable “AI” features for everyone.

@promovicz @mainframed767 Most people just want to use their computer, not sysadmin it, and that’s perfectly fine.

It would be a real shame if there was a website with a list of all known ICE officers, and people found it. You absolutely shouldn’t tell people about https://icelist.info/

@Gargron @blogdiva What’s with the irrevocable usage rights part then?

@aral

@whitequark It’s when someone not called Richard abuses their power, gets discovered, and has to resign.

@WeirdWriter @aral Privileged enough to think they’re exempt, I suppose.

@lzg Every “leader” who demonstrates obedience in advance to the current lunacy should be barred from ever leading anything ever again🙊

@Viss Finally emails won’t find me anymore!

@mcc oxide.computer have their own Rust OS, fittingly named “hubris”. The debugger is called “humility” xD

@lindawoodrow @itzyg Fascists do.

@skinnylatte If I wasn’t too blind to safely go diving, I’d want to jump in there😅

@molly0xfff @catsalad Thankfully, the wikimedia foundation is funded for years to come. The edit wars I just saw flashing before my eyes are a whole other beast, though.

Coincidentally, I was just listening to a report about a sock puppet zoo revising history on German Wikipedia. Chilling stuff, but also a boost to respect towards serious Wikipedia editors. https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/sockenpuppenzoo-angriff-auf-wikipedia/prolog-ep-00/swr-kultur/14060171/ (in German)

@Infoseepage @eniko @catsalad Oooh! I’ll have to watch that show! Thanks for sharing this vital information.

Same person: “If you lose your job to automation, that’s your problem. Shouldn’t have been a cashier!” Fucking hell, we need to teach empathy, (economic) class awareness, solidarity, and that trickledown economics are a scam in school…

Sometimes I struggle with believing people can be intelligent. $coworker: “If you want to abolish billionaires, nobody would want to work anymore, because they couldn’t get rich off of their own hard work!” My dude, *nobody* can become a billionaire without inheritance, *and* walking over bodies.

@kuketzblog Ich würde mit weniger Sorgen um Trump als um Vance machen. Der ist nämlich gesünder und intelligenter als Trump und in der Tasche der techno-faschistischen VCs rund um die Paypal-Mafia.

Stolen from the terrible site

@aral I’ve seen this with a bunch of German sites as well. They call it “Continue with ads” though.
