#Linux is comfy, quiet and unobtrusive. #Windows has this threatening, vague negative aura around it, probably because I mentally associate it with clerical and customer service jobs lol

But that's a good distinction to make! Windows makes you feel like a waggie, a cog in the machine, Linux makes you feel like you're in control of your computing rather than the other way around

The same allegory could be extended to online services I think. On #Facebook is clear you're a serf on Zuckerberg's feud, being fed whatever the algo has decided you must see even if it's detrimental to your wellbeing, on the #Fediverse you have the freedom to shape your feed to your specific needs

YT is recommending me SW fan made slop. And I have thoughts.

This content is so bad. It will only appeal to hardcore fans, with stuff that is inconsequential (i.e Count Dooku learns Qui Gon died, ponders life and stuff. Dooku hangs out with Palpatine, stuff happens)

But the biggest issue is the lack of media literacy from the uploaders: no bro, you can't use the exact same shot of palpatine **3 times** only changing the spoken dialog, that's not how film making works

3 times in a row, I might add. You can clearly see the cuts where the shot just loops back to the beginning, a real embarrassment.

To add insult to injury, the comments are full of self congratulatory dribble, "this is how we defeat Disney!1!" No this is how you bury Star Wars in the eyes of casual viewers, this time for good

It is written, only fedilink can defeat gender ganon

@lizzy

Many such cases actually! In many European and Latin American countries unions were perceived by hardcore Stalinists as having "sold out" so to speak

@ariadne

Or, if they are going to do all this other stuff, don't do it half-assedly, say it was "only an experiment" and lay off all the people who worked on it

@BeAware

From what I could gather the problem is that the bridge is opt-out instead of opt-in. I blocked momostr.pink the moment I saw what a colossal problem it was going to be

The Nasdaq is a kaiju like monster that appeared in the 2030's. Nobody knows where it came from, but it's suspected it appeared after OpenAI tried to activate a nuclear fission reactor to power up an LLM with 5 zillion parameters.

Its body it's a manifestation of the horrors the global market has inflicted on humanity and the planet, and thus it has taken the shape of the Twin Towers at NYC, before they were destroyed in 2001

@LeftistLawyer @cstross was this summary written by ChatGPT? 🤦

Timnit Gebru and Émile Torres coined the term, they are not part of the TESCREAL gang

Another factual error in the post: "Finally, there's accelerationism: the right wing's version of Trotskyism, the idea that we need to bring on a cultural crisis as fast as possible in order to tear down the old and build a new post-apocalyptic future"

The actual right wing version of Trotskyism is neoconservatism, the war hawks behind the invasion of Irak, this is well documented in the wikipedia entry on neocons:
