remember that one of the the main reasons you can't easily self-host/community-host email is because of google...

@inthehands Norbert Wiener wrote in 1948, in the book that defined Cybernetics:

"Let us remember that the automatic machine is the precise economic equivalent of slave labor. Any labor which competes with slave labor must accept the economic consequences of slave labor.”

@neauoire i first read this as “thinking didn’t boot” and i was, like, right there with you :)

@cwebber @asa the canadian gov also issues a travel advisory https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-united-states-travel-warning-1.7648381

@cwebber @asa yeah, that’s how i read it too. the airline won’t be penalized for putting in a value that doesn’t match the passport.

@hipsterelectron one of the most toxic open source traits is desiring to be more like a big tech product, and to measure success with big tech metrics.

@codl they missed my favourite, the cold-short.

@sean_ae oh for sure. And they are trying to sell that idea. There are also lots of well meaning leftists trying to see the good in this tech, but failing to see how it is fundamentally against them … the same thing happened in the crypto-bubble …

There is no such thing as leftist “ai”, not even in the most ridiculous fiction. The core idea of “ai” is fundamentally authoritarian and eugenicist.

@servo 👎👎 this will only make the project less trustworthy, less robust, and less open. It will also make Servo far less sustainable in both technical/documentation and environmental impact. You will lose a lot of contributors and supporters, replacing them with dubious contributions.

@clarity @jplebreton oh absolutely. i just mean that the ideologies that these tech/SV cults are using/indoctrinating are largely coming from the tescreal set of beliefs...

@jplebreton @clarity it’s basically the foundation for all of TESCREAL beliefs and systems…

@inthehands what did you choose as a replacement?

@cwebber sorry if this wasn’t clear. I wan’t referring to you or your posts but only to the discussion on lobsters specifically, since they were bringing up other references to “originators” // @sacha

@sacha @cwebber disappointed that they’re all missing the historical reference to Steve Mann who was cyborging as early as the late 70’s and still is today.

@inthehands and data != context or understanding … something people seem to misunderstand these days.

@thomasfuchs definitely. I can check with my dad also.

The strange mp3 player camera was the Kodak mc3. Nothing about it made sense.

@thomasfuchs that is entirely possible. We actually did get prototypes and unreleased cameras often. Why do you need to know?

@thomasfuchs i’m going to see what i have. But it might be so long ago that’s i’d have to look in archived stuff
