@iampytest1 @melroy I'm old enough to remember when software developers violated unjust laws and often got those laws changed in response.
Great read at Eurogamer about Stop Killing Games with comments from Josh Strife Hayes:

"It's all of us against apathy...
"It's all of us against apathy, entropy, and loss of art" - Stop Killing Games has reached the EU Parliament, but what happens now?

An interview with Stop Killing Games advocate and spokesperson Josh Strfye Hayes about the future of the movement now it's visited EU parliament.

Oh, the fruity company has alternatives. It just likes the extra data.

Just updated my iPad. It wanted me to take a photo of a credit card. I did not let it. It then told me I might not be able to access certain things. The future is fucking shit.

Beating Fascists to death with the nearest blunt instrument is also a time-honored tradition… really makes you think…

@[email protected] doxxing fascists is time honoured for its effectiveness
the thing about all these people who love LLMs is that they will shit in your mouth, ask you to consider the taste of the shit they shat in your mouth, spend your hard-won moments of human life to let the shit they shat in your mouth sink into your mouth, and then they will take whatever you say and somehow turn that into more shit in your mouth and pretend like you weren't just eating the shit they just shat in your mouth already
i just want to remind all the AI maximalists out there that you guys are fucking assholes. like all of you are huge dickheads. like not as an immutable trait, just that using AI seems to make you a huge fucking asshole, and you all act like dickheads to everyone and don't seem to even notice. like you are riding on a magic carpet powered by a dogs shit and everyone around you is like "wow why is that guy riding on a magic dogshit carpet around everyone and getting dogshit all over them" and you are just like "ha ha ha i am flying fuck you all"
for real though: the delusion that LLMs make you more productive is the conspiracy/cult thought pattern with self defense mechanisms that i have been trying to comprehend my whole life. that motion wandering through a desert of dogshit aimlessly feels like progress because the slot machine occasionally cashes out funny money that feels real is the entire dynamics of grift. I am running out of fingers to count the projects that could be done by real honest work and planning in a tenth the time of the "produce nonsense, whittle away in an incomprehsible, unbounded void of nonsense" development pattern. and the old pattern had problems but when people were huge dickheads to each other while doing it it was because they disagreed about things they at least thought they believed. now people are just dickheads to each other and there is nobody there to say "wow that was a thing that only a huge dickhead would say"

but nah there’s no complex theory of mind behind my posts, I’m just angry and disregulated

you fucking asshole. what a god damn thing to fucking say.

how dare I be angry when I watch companies and open source projects capitulate to fascists. how dare I take it personally. I’m angry and disregulated because I can’t pretend to be excited for garbage and victimization and harm.

yes I’m fucking angry. why in fuck aren’t you.
