@thomasfuchs it's wild when people just come out with actual eugenics like that

@ekis yep. and australia was the country that was the right combination of indifferent to child welfare, enrapured by empty political performance, and utterly technologically illiterate, to be the test case for this little accountability-dodge.

and the companies will respond by saying well, we need more of your data.

@evan then why did you distribute them without their consent @ZanaGB @Timo_Micro @alice

@evan wouldn't it be nice not to have this conversation ever again? you could do that by simply making it an opt in. @Timo_Micro @alice

@inthehands sometimes the plan really is step one, step two, ????, profit.

@selzero there’s actually a bit more nuance to this. some important context is that he also made the “you know what they say about a man with big shoes” joke, and jd vance was there and it was awkward and weird, and now everyone is wearing oversized shoes to make it seem like they have big dicks.

having all the information is important.

@benroyce voting alone will not solve the problem, it will merely reset the clock.
there needs to be a more profound shift away from a model that promotes the tendencies that lead to fascism as good, from the myth of the rugged individual, to neoliberalism.

@alanthecampbell @lzg

people are like “there are no algorithms on the fediverse,” to which i reply sure there are, they are called @Binder and @sidd_harth0_5h4h boosts

@jeridansky which was why it was very frustrating to watch casey newton turn it into an adverisment for claude opus

me: if gods are real then one of them will surely come down and punish me for putting barbecue sauce, sriracha and cheese on this curry

gods: haha i love this little freak let's see what it does next

@steter @mattblaze you've done the obsidian knife part, now smear the blood on the crystal.
look, i didn't build the system, ok? now hurry up, it needs to be fresh to get a good read.

@aaribaud oh mate, this makes me miss Beneath The Shroud, an audiodrama about a cabby who worked for a company that specialised in runs through the veil.

you pick up a follower of the true son? now that is going to be a memorable time. hope you got lots of water.

for a brief moment in the change-room,
im donald duckin’
and nobody notices but me

@GreenSkyOverMe it's something we do here when someone works evenings, weekends or public holidays.

or, like, it's what we should do, but as you know, stealing from employees is pretty much legal. not that this fact stops business lobby groups from chipping away at it every chance they get.

@mr_daemon i absolutely agree, but if it happened over here, the hospitality industry would use that as an excuse to abolish penalty rates

@lookitmychicken gd still got it, fuck the drama, fuck the rumours

@bplein @daedalus a reverse consultant. you come in, tell them why it's a bad idea. you tell them what will happen. you don't charge much.
but there is a part of your contract that specifies a huge payment when you're right.

@skinnylatte i assumed it was a supremely whimsical art piece. now i know it's a costume i am overjoyed that such a thing exists

@gimulnautti in a long enough timeline all ruling systems break down. this is not useful information.
