Hot take:

I think most people's problem with technology in the capitalist age is that they only look surface level.

They look at the damage its causing and not who's doing it or what's funding it.

And even when they do, they see that the whole thing must go instead of the poisonous bit.

I think that's why people have a hard time understanding socialism and communism.

What means would we seize if we destroyed it all because the capitalists were using it?

Linux isn't even particularly safe from this, either.

Shoutout to @tech4palestine for hooking me up with this dope browser extension...

I heard Nitro is having a touch time keeping up with all the cancelations.

Think I might test it myself...

The cancelation part, because fuck the face scanning!

I know this is going to be a hard lesson for people on the #Fediverse to learn, but here we go:

NOT EVERYONE ON THE FUCKING PLANET KNOWS HOW TO DO THE THINGS WE DO!

While I’ll take #ActivityPub over #Bluesky, #Threads, and #Twitter, some of y’all make it so difficult to just exist in a space without having to “well, actually” every fucking thing!

Understand that not everyone has all the answers (you sure as shit don’t) and treat people with some fucking grace and respect!

For fuck’s sake!

I just received an email from work asking us to “humanize” AI.

Fuck that bullshit!

It is a machine!

It is a tool!

It is NOT HUMAN!

They missed me at not acknowledging a genocide.

They had a chance to stop a boomerang from being thrown, so I have no faith they'll protect us on its return trip.

Watching people discuss their material conditions and almost make the connection only to be snapped back into sleep because of something a politician said (not done) can be so exhausting.

Regardless of what Trump and western corporate media says, Venezuela still stands and will continue to fight against imperialism!
