listen, the Fediverse has many problems, including people like this existing in the network itself, but there is one thing those specific Fediverse morons don't have:

complete and total authority over the entire network/platform/app.

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api

idk shit about coding, but this confirms something i've suspected for a while. using this tech moderately is not a real thing. the people who say they "know" how to use it moderately are fucking delusional because the logic that brought you to it in the first place only grows stronger

The US military is the biggest polluter in the world

War is not just morally unjustifiable, because it forces working class people to die for the will of the rich, and sheds innocent blood; Humanity cannot afford the arms race anymore, demilitarization is the only path for our survival as a species

PANEL 1: NARRATOR: "Cultivating the measured NPR cadence and placid deference to the military that characterizes the ideal neoliberal subject, Clark Kent returns to the editorial meeting..." A group of DAILY PLANET reporters are in a meeting, Clark Kent is responding to a question from his boss. CLARK: "Well, chief, the bombing campaign--"

PANEL 2: Clark is talking and the other reporters and co-workers look unhappy. CLARK: "Obviously war in the region is not-ah-"ideal," but regime change could ultimately provide socioeconomic benefits that far outweigh the regrettable civilian casualties..." CLARK (thinking): "As Superman, last son of Krypton, these words of course sicken me; however, it's Clark Kent's job to manufacture consent!" 

PANEL 3: (inset in a larger panel) One reporter is whispering to another. REPORTER: "Kent is such an off-putting sociopath" REPORTER 2: "I hope he kills himself". An arrow points to this inset panel that reads "Thanks to super-hearing" from Clark's ear. Clark is smiling and thinking to himself. CLARK (thinking): "Looks like my secret identity as Clark Kent is safe...FOR NOW!"

SDL3 (and especially the new SDLGPU) has made it far "easier" to get into, at least from needing to understand all the esoterica of graphics cards

I don't think you're going to find something easier than that unless you start getting into full frameworks

with AI, there will be no 2-day work week, major advancements in medicine or science, universal basic income, improvements in repetitive tasks or toil, or "democratization" of art.

the only thing you will see is your wages going down. you will receive nothing.

what are you going to do about it?

Why I left Anarchism, and then came back
Why I left Anarchism, and then came back YouTube video by BadMouse

Something I have learned over deeper study of Anarchist philosophy, is how often its efforts across history have been erased or co-opted, preventing people from realizing they are already Anarchists

If you like my videos you should watch this one from @badmouse101.bsky.social

there's so much pressure on this new series and will be so much meddling from the studio that there's no way it turns out good

at least Anno isn't directing this one but I'm worried Yoko Taro is going to burn himself out on it. Eva fans are not for beginners.

This economic idea transfixed Wall Street and Washington. It may be a mirage. Massive investment in AI contributed β€œbasically zero” to U.S. economic growth last year, Goldman Sachs has calculated.

"Prominent economists, including from Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase, calculate that the AI buildup was directly responsible not for 92 percent or 39 percent of gains to the U.S. economy in 2025, but as little as zero."

windows pcs are generally for casual users who mostly use it for web browsing and maybe a little gaming. linux is nearly identical except there's no keyboard. macs are for hardcore experts and professionals who take on the toughest tasks, such as drawing three-dimensional rectangles and squares
