And hot take here: a lot of the people who say stuff like "the right is the only place that men can go for a vision of masculinity" believe that because they also buy into the right's vision of masculinity and won't see anything else as masculinity. They also believe that masculinity is about dominance and misogyny and all the same things, so much so that they are fully convinced that until they see leftists making that kind of content then it must only be the right talking about masculinity. They are bought in so much they're not even conscious of it, they are fully trapped in the cave...or the matrix.

ALL THIS TO SAY

stop parroting the talking points of the oppressor.

there is enough everything to feed, clothe, house, heal, educate, employ and even “start up” not just every human, but generations to come.

the problem are the .1% who don’t want that to happen.

those are the people who make money blocking universal health care and forcing us into insurance companies that are nothing but eugenics-as-a-service.

that’s why when CEOs get shot, nobody bats an eye.

the scarcity is false./ 🧵

So my current employer has joined the "let's get rid of the senior people and build our product on rookies and AI" bandwagon. Not laid off, but that looks like it's coming.

If any of you know someone who needs a senior software engineer with a strong background in apps security, knows OAuth/OIDC, and speaks Java and Python, HMU. #FediHire

One of the incredible ironies of the modern web is that StackOverflow was basically created to curbstomp a terribly exploitative SEO web site that annoyed tech people for years by polluting search responses with trash responses.

Then generative AI turned all of SO's content into the next generation of trash responses.

there has been a supply chain compromise in the passage of time, 2025 is subject to a evolutionary vulnerability that will give grasses, particularly bamboo, a cognitive and linguistic buff that allows them unprivileged access to consciousness that persists across years in both directions. We recommend to bypass 2025 and proceed directly to 2025.1

Over the years, I have scoured the internet for various versions of the Mac HIG PDFs. Here is my collection so far.

Some neat ones include HIGs for Mac OS 8 & a preliminary Mac OS X version from the Public Beta.

These HIGs contain general desktop guidelines that still apply today & that you can't find in the modern HIG.

Please retoot! Everyone should read these.

Show threadmike805May 23

@aud @fromjason @grajohnt Yes, Klarna could make them work off their debts. In a couple years you can go back to the mall and buy another pair of jeans!

By the way, Klarna charges very high fees to merchants, so anything you can buy with Klarna is probably overpriced. If you want to be nice to a local merchant, pay cash. Otherwise use a rewards card and get the majority of the merchant fee back. There is no good use case for this thing.

I want to live in a timeline, but nobody wants to work for these kinds of companies ever because they tried AI.

Corporations breed billionaires. Their stock ownership is used as collateral for debt that is used to buy up and cannibalize the rest of the economy.

Ultimately though a stock valuation depends somewhere on sales then for gross stocks on the fantasy of future returns.

Imagine a world where the public boycott large companies and M&A.

This business (pun intended) of promoting psychopaths to Lord of the Universe is something we functional humans really ought to review. Like, forty years ago.

Show threadsu_liamMay 23
@RustyRing @grajohnt I feel like if we really want a Star Trek utopian future, widespread recognition of sociopaths and awareness of the reasons why they should never be in a position of power over other people(and reliable application of that knowledge) is the biggest step forward. Most, if not all, “human nature” explanations of why we can’t have good things, and should never try, actually come down to the nature of sociopaths.
Show threadRusty RingMay 23

@su_liam @grajohnt

Exactly. We allow our leaders – intellectual as well as political – to define "human nature". And naturally, they insist God made us assholes, because they are and they reign over the rest of us. So you not only can't do anything about people with materialistic learning disabilities, they're a Godly thing and only an evil person would want to.

But actually, powerful people, the fact is most of us aren't psychopaths. Just you. So, like, prepare to be unhappy.

Tech CEOs are using AI to replace themselves

CEOs from Klarna and Zoom had AI avatars deliver part of their earnings reports this week.

@grajohnt every time I have to chat with Customer service through an app and I get a survey afterwards I take the time to give the actual human being 10 stars but I always write something in the text box asking me what could have been better.

I like to talk about how their chat bot is so awful that it has never been able to help me, that I always have to be transferred to a human, and that the bot is so annoying that I’m usually pissed off by the time I get the human. And that’s not fair to the human. And even though I’m frustrated when I get the human they are always helpful and patient and kind and they always save the sale. I tell them that if I couldn’t chat with a human when I needed to I would stop using their business, I tell them that they will never be able to replace the humans with bots because their bots are not good.

It probably doesn’t help, they probably don’t care, but I want them to have the feedback anyway.
