That’s the challenge with technical advances. It’s not just solving the technical problem, it’s also solving the societal problem.

If you look back into history, Automated elevators was a major panic until people got comfortable with the idea.

If it gets me closer to Half-Life 3, then pipe that shit into my brains

My pro open-source teacher in HS pushed for all of us to use the handful of Linux computers and recommended GIMP over Photoshop. He even said we can download GIMP at home for free.

Back then, searching for GIMP gave you bondage suits.

And because we were immature fuckwads, we played real hard into that joke, to a point where the principal had to send a letter to parents about how to actually find free open-source software with links.

I don’t know what half those things are but I laughed at the words “Breast Mints”. No idea what it means.

I’m laughing real hard because I was also attracted by the thumbnail and clicked.

But – I hope others don’t follow suit and make sharing content look like time square with motion everywhere.

Sorry? What? I’m not following any of this.

Why would the WOKE libs do this?

Oh this in Rome? Do they have woke libs?

My root issue with people who shit on AI is that by pretending like it doesn’t exist or refusing to use it, your voice is not part of the conversation.

The world will use AI, regardless of your personal feelings.

And if you arent in the room to help shape decisions, don’t be surprised when we are fucked.

This is terrifying. Anybody can pretend to be ICE and kidnap in broad daylight.

I understand what they’re saying.

Like, I hate Blockchain and NFTs. But both are just souless technologies in their own right.

NGL I keep forgetting NextCloud has collaboration tools.

Remember when Russia had all those cyber attacks and suddenly, a huge chunk of Reddit stopped spewing hate?

(us giving energy to Anonymous)

That’s a pretty good idea. Musk is a fan of Roman history. Do a Decimation Elon! Fire every 10th developer! That’ll bring the system back up!

It is when it comes to Twitter. They’ve tinkered with Grok to block reality to better suit whatever Musk believes is true.

That’s probably the closest to support/press there is from that shit hole.

Every single company.

All it takes is your favorite company to suddenly be run by a CEO who wants to maximize profits or increase shareholder value, or worse, think they’re God’s Gift to the World. Or in the flip side, they’re fighting for survival so they have to make scummy decisions to keep afloat.

That’s what my dog does.

He tears into the couch in one side of the house to get you annoyed, then runs to eat cat litter, then runs upstairs to take the kid’s toys.

Do enough chaos to get something and tire us out.

I would have disagreed with you when Pis were like $50 and chaining 3 Pis together with a hard drive was a fun project to do self hosting.

Now to get to the beefiest raspberry pi, it’s $120. And in the range, yeah, for price and reliability, use a mini-pc/laptop.

Some people need to be separated. This isn’t about censorship, it’s about group dynamics.

Let’s take it from both angles - just to avoid politics. A disruptive kid in a classroom affects every other kid. Get rid of that kid, and suddenly the whole classroom improves. Everyone can agree to that.

The other side - a company has a pro-union worker. Shitty company doesn’t like not controlling their workers, so they find a way to fire them.

Back to the Nazi, separate them from the rest of society. We don’t need them.

I just realized I have no idea who pays for Let’s Encrypt. I just run the server commands, automate it, and move on.
