Is this a joke?

Surprised there’s not more violence directed at the people doing violence via politics , honestly.

Cars and car-first infrastructure have been massively bad ecologically, socially, and environmentally.

The people at work who use AI the most know the least. They add very little value. AI is rather anti-labor in that way.

I’d also rather have some people who are slow and competent than fast and hallucinating

We are ruled by fools. Many big organizations are run by Business Idiots. People too rich and removed from the real world and how work gets done to know what they’re talking about. They’re like parasites or cancer cells.

We should probibit wealth consolidating to prevent this

Also include horrific externalized costs from cars.

I mostly buy music from bandcamp. Drm free, different format options, you can stream before you buy (if the band has it configured as such)

Ah that’s interesting. I’m too much of a pack rat and the idea of selling some of my music makes me uncomfortable. Though I guess I have some games that were duds I wouldn’t mind selling.

buying drm-free digital media is probably also okay, if you back it up yourself.

i don’t do any subscriptions, myself.

Why not both?

Cool. I’m so tired of management huffing their own farts about AI.

If I was a talented writer I would consider a short story about someone getting onto the medical staff just to murder Zuckerberg.

Maybe some sort of rom-com where two people have done so and they suspect each other of being corporate bootlickers, but in the end they fall in love. And murder Zuckerberg.

We should unionize and eat the useless managers.

I started using bruno for lazy gui “make a request” needs.

But for anything serious python requests is right there, so I mostly used that for testing.

They have poor media literacy and reasoning skills. If they were smart and empathetic, they probably wouldn’t be hateful.

I really would like people to think more about that.

If you produce more valuable stuff and get paid the same, you’re getting a bad deal. It’s delusional to think the owners are going to pass those profits on to the workers in any meaningful way.

I think there’s something with age and lead poisoning that makes people short sighted, easily manipulated with emotional appeals, and short tempered.

I remember thinking it was cool when Doom loaded with R_Init: Init DOOM refresh daemon

I don’t disagree with you but it’s comforting to me to hold onto the fantasy that the something else would be better, like exchanging a quality good for money in a one time deal.

But yes, capitalism is a common source of many problems. (Though I guess a worker owned collective could produce loot boxes, too. )

Sometimes I get really depressed when I think about problems that could be solved if people would just behave slightly differently.

If people would just stop buying lootbox slop, it wouldn’t be a problem. it’s not asking a lot. It’s not asking you to change your diet, or ride a bike twenty miles in the snow. Just stop buying that shit. I just want to smack impulse buyers on the nose with a newspaper, or squirt them with a spray bottle. Stop it!

But that’s not how people work. We barely function at all.
