you’re pushing the “But on the other hand most hard quality of life indicators are up globally” line but like, the number of negative things you’ve listed is more than the positives.

I mean, it’s almost as if you are manipulating yourself into questioning and rejecting reality*. You should stop doing that

*there is no one word description for this action. Believe me, I looked, and I’d use it if it existed.

fwiw i attribute this to the stop doing x meme (that I believe skillissuer is referencing):

been thinking about making one for (memory) safe c++, but unfortunately I don’t know the topic deep enough to make the meme good

Ugh. Tangentially related: a streamer I follow has been getting lots of people in her chat saying that one of the taters wants to hire her. I've started noticing comments like "I love white culture" and weird fantasies about the roman empire. Historically she's also been asked multiple times what her ethnicity is (she is white), specifically if she is scandanavian, which I am starting to view under some kind of white supremacist lens. I've told her to ignore anything mentioning the taters or "top g" as one of them is known.

Honestly, I'm worried that she could get brigaded by these creeps, even if she shows no response whatsoever.

Ah, the highest form of art appreciation: badly designed surveys.

People who struggle to find basic things via web searches. That is, before the somewhat recent ratcheted up enshitification

This is you: LLMs are good, except they are enshittifying search, which follows from the fact that LLMs are bad. But actually, even though they are bad, I know how to use them, so LLMs are good, actually. Normies are dumb and I’m better than them and it doesn’t matter if search is good or bad, normies r dumb and normies will never learn to google good which they can learn from me, a LLM understander who is very smart

I’m pretty fucking tired of seeing all the ads for computers with integrated AI chips. You’re telling me you made an RV for the virtual dumbass and you want me to pay for it? Fuck off!

Filing this away in my “Mao was right, let’s ‘abolish’ the landlords” folder

 

Didn’t see this news posted but please link previous correspondence if I missed it.

Kind of sharing this because the headline is a little sensationalist and makes it sound like MS is hard right (they are, but not like this) and anti-EU.

I mean, they probably are! Especially if it means MS is barred from monopolies and vertical integration.

TIL that television program “The Boys” has an in universe cryptocurrency as a satire of, well, cryptocurrency in general but also specifically that time when DJT was selling NFTs. They occasionally tweet about it.

It has a listing on the “BSCScan” crypto tracker under the name “VTC” so someone might have actually minted it? It might surprise some of you that I have no way of telling the realness of such a thing.

 

Uncritically sharing this article with naive hope. Is this just PR for a game? Probably. Indies deserve as much free press as possible though.

 

As is tradition I am sharing this link without having listened yet.
