I wrote down my initial thoughts on why the #WWDC24 #AppleIntelligence stuff feels like such a betrayal: https://www.roguelazer.com/blog/2024-oh-the-humanity/
I don't know if they'll resonate with anyone, but at least they’re my thoughts and not some artificial simulacrum.

This #xz #backdoor really sucks. You know it's serious because it doesn't even seem to be designed to mine shitcoins!

@evan Its a different question, though. Preference versus reality...

@evan I don't think it's so much counterfactual as people thinking "that time I traveled to a civilized country and took a train, it was the best 300 mile trip of my life, but I live in the USA where trains are considered socialist demon vehicles and thus impractical for such a trip"
That being said, I took the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner down the coast of CA once and it was great (although comically, unbelievably slow).

@evan I pay for 100% renewable energy, but it's still delivered by PG&E, and nothing that they collect revenue on can really be called "clean"...
