Software is a tool, and tools should serve the user above all else.

let the version of the industry that does this repent through bankruptcy; if I pay for technology I expect it to serve *my* interests, not those who wish to control and surveill me

Yeah it turns out a lot of exposure limits are insanely low

If I’m ever as influential as Ari Drennen I’m going to go fully insane w it; imagine skeets like “tankies keep saying they’ll provide universal basic tops but dog women are a finite resource; sorry if this punctures your revolutionary bubble but this is why you all need to vote for Gavin Newsom”

i already feel like Meta is a dead company walking, and this doesn't change that unless you believe that people will love slop. Oracle should not be funding this out of debt rather than free cash flow.

I've definitely found there's a balance; joining the Liberal Currents Discord is helping me fill my information needs while getting me flaming-mad less often.

almost a week in.

i kinda think being more offline makes me marginally less happy? which I guess makes sense to the extent i'm substituting less fulfilling displacement activity for my Bluesky dopamine drip
proptermalone.bsky.social
so i have successfully been online a lot less the last ~week and the most noticeable consequence of same is that i have no idea what's happening anywhere anymore.

i'm not sure that's better, i'm not sure that's worse, but it's a big change

They can be 27 year-old “kids“ or they can be political operatives, but the idea that they get to play contact sports but everyone else has to play flag football with them is transparent horseshit.

Remembering all the people, including Zuck, who insisted (against the actual evidence) that the Biden admin pressured them into censorship... who are suddenly silent now that Pam Bondi is happily demanding the removal of 1st Amendment protected speech.

The environmental impact is vastly overstated. But yeah just hire an actual artist.

I see the intolerant echo-chamber media elite as a net positive for public health because without them some people would have to throw themselves in front of a bus to slake their lust for victimhood

Honestly if we were a real country anymore this video would start an armed revolution

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

There are legitimate uses for both, but they are few and far between.

i apologize to the people who i ignored who were telling me to learn git because i didn't appreciate how cool it is to be a time wizard capable of looking at the entire history of every single line.

"🤓☝️ erm source control is important for code stability" lame "you become a time wizard" fucking sick
chat messages:

me: side note learning more about the vsc git integration. automatic git blame showing it inline is so cool wtf. i accidentally stumbled across it. that's so fucking cool. fuck now i really wish i did have all this shit committed because 90% of the tex is the first commit lol message.
person: I love how you've become git pilled faster than more software engineers
me: it's because i'm better than them
person: Objectively true

@unavaleable.bsky.social are you ever going to publish any long form fiction set in the Double Victory timeline?

at present, what is happening is that all of the capex out to 2027 is being done in 2025. the idea is that if there are first-mover profits on AI, you can buy them out of free cash flow right now and then pull back on capex if the market for AI is limited.

i genuinely do not see how exactly we are going to see all this AI/data center demand work out in the long run? like, thankfully most of investments are with cash not debt, but even then, what exactly is the case for AI investment here?

aside from his waffling on trans kids in sports is he really all that bad? Like, don't get me wrong. He's not my first choice.

they're just blasting boats at random out there

Not just Venezuela. Colombia, too. And not just extra-judicial, but indiscriminate: "the Pentagon was unable to determine the individual identities of each person on the boats before they struck them."

if you have been to any of the big NO KINGS rallies, you understand what a hilarious mistake it is to tell people to tune in for coverage of scary black clad anarchists tearing everything apart

i have to be honest, gang, i have some questions about this republican strategy of telling everyone to tune in and pay attention to what’s likely to be one of the largest days of political protest in american history directed at the republican party

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"
