@Taweret@timeloop.cafe wow, how can a poll be so wrong.

buncha frog haters

@xgranade@wandering.shop “we have created a system with 43,200 precisely broken clocks which are stochastically rotated around to show you a clock when you want to check the time. The degree of rotation (and subsequent clock you are shown) is based on how tired you sound when you ask what time it is. This is much more efficient than a non broken clock and has nothing to do with my clock making business (that is made even cheaper since I don’t have to make working ones, just ones with a face).”

@jalcine@todon.eu I made a zero context/explanation post about ChatGPT being fascist shit the other week and I stand by it.

I am sure I will eventually expand on that point in a more… verbose manner. But it is a propaganda tool that can be pressed into service as what they think a simulacrum should be, all without a human being. It does nothing efficiently or well, but when your purpose is simply “get rid of others”… well.

@mntmn@mastodon.social this looks like the old external modems (a super hot version of them anyway) and I looooove it 🖤

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io … understand why I have unhoused neighbors. Oh, I really like the way you wrote this; “unhoused neighbors”. Because that’s exactly they are; your neighbors. I think I am going to use that wording from now on.

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I will, and have, eaten spices directly from the bag just to feel something see what it tastes like, and you better believe I am not shy when it comes to putting spices in my food.

I think coming from like, a bland background, I find the “this is over seasoned!” complaint to be grating and annoying. “Can’t you season your own plate” can’t you cook and eat your own bland paste!? Sorry my cooking reminds you that you’re alive!

@mcc@mastodon.social I would like to point out that GitHub once had a UI that was both fast and cromulent, and then in the year 2023 replaced it with fucking React.

I’m not saying react is directly responsible for this, but I’m pretty sure it enables them pulling this crap. And I’m pretty sure the same reasoning that led to them thinking using react in 2023 to replace a working UI is the same reasoning behind this crime.

@inthehands@hachyderm.io @dalias@hachyderm.io lmao oh yeah! I wanted to add "block recommendation" to this...

@hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange oh hey! I already have this guy muted and blocked because he’s a real ass lmao. I got into it last year with him defending some real garbage. Don’t remember what it was, but lo and behold he’s on form here again.

Imagine being such a privileged respectability-humper that in the midst of a fucking fascist coup by tech oligarchs, you’re the guy saying “no! don’t destroy the Nazi billionaire’s mobile surveillance platforms! They’ll use that against us at the midterms!”

lmao go ask your minority friends why this is a problem (oh wait! you don’t have any. awwww).

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I’m trying to allow myself to feel my emotions (without letting them overwhelm me) so that I can be proactive and use these emotions to do something positive and useful

But reading this is the second time today I’ve almost had my anger overwhelm me, instead, because of how blatant and harmful and awful and…

Did you know you can credit multiple authors in a git commit? For organizations that have people do pair programming and use things like # of commits or LOC...!

Thanks to @inherentlee@flipping.rocks for pointing this out!

@hipsterelectron@circumstances.run @dalias@hachyderm.io the same community who had leaders that decided Jon Ringer's hurt nazi feelings were far more important than anything else, unfortunately.

don't read the fucking nixos discourse comments, Audrey. Do not read the fucking nixos discourse comments, Audrey.

Some shithead force pushes AI theft onto users and complains he is the wronged party when someone disables it by default and the conversation has already devolved into "do you have proof that people don't like to be spied on"

fuuuuuuuuuuuck christ fuck fuck fuck fuck

Oh look, here we go.

There’s an extra danger to this one, which is it has a moderately more glossy sheen of “acceptability” to it than usual for this administration and that people looking to give in or openly embrace fascism might say “oh but he’s talking about help”.

It is fascism; it is forced labor; it is pushing people into labor camps. It will not be their choice. Even if you ignore all that (and why are you ignoring all that!?) it is paternalistic bullshit, an “I know what’s good for you better than you do” attitude when he absolutely does not. He would not know better than you what is good for you even if what he was saying was true. Which it is most definitely fucking not.

@seachanger@alaskan.social right?? like is this true? Like I get that no, this congress in particular isn't gonna do shit, but is it actually true they legally cannot? Because there is a difference and it's worth noting, I think.

Even without the legal framework, they could also do something like "send in the capitol police" in an extralegal manner but that's a totally separate issue. I think it would be nice to know what potential pressure points the system has for us to push on.

@UlrikNyman@mastodon.social @dalias@hachyderm.io @arrrg@kolektiva.social yeah, look: I know how fucking stupid it is. I have known how fucking stupid it is. What do you think this weak ass waste of time suggestion is going to do while we’re currently experiencing multiple constitutional crises? Election reform is for ten or twenty years ago; they have explicitly rolled back numerous protections that were put in place to get rid of voter suppression. We are past that point.

Do not waste my goddamn time “baiting” me into “seeing” that the barn door should have been closed when the horse is busy kicking our faces in, thanks. It’s insulting.

@seachanger@alaskan.social "Congress has no ability to really intervene and monitor what's happening because these aren't really accountable public officials"it feels weird to be commenting on how freaking broken our system is, but my god. If your own legal framework has no remedy for a hostile actor breaking the law within the system, your legal framework is bad. So either there's truly no mechanism for congress to intervene and defend the institution, or it's just that none of current congress people will enforce it... which one, I wonder.

@LeslieBurns@legal.social @inquiline@assemblag.es It's risky to strike when you're not sure others will join you, but collecting information this way is a guarantee any attempt will fail. technology is not your fucking friend. The oligarchs are already spying on you. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THAT SITE.
