@deirdrebeth @weirdwriter @NickEast @bookstodon @books Yeah basically. I know that my tastes and those of the broader public don't overlap very much, so the thing I end up with a double of isn't gonna be the thing that covers dinner tonight

@deirdrebeth @weirdwriter @NickEast @bookstodon @books I wish it was that simple lol. I've definitely accidentally doubled up on stuff that wasn't going to be an easy sell but that I wanted, then found I had it at home. Whakoom has helped a lot

@KarlBode These are the great great grandchildren of the industrialists who thought 12 year olds working for 20 hours a day was good for "building character". Kill it with fire.

@parismarx The internet itself is basically an airport that has infinite hari krishnas and no airplanes. Neil Postman was right about all of this stuff 30 years ago. Generative AI is just another advertising campaign trying to make the equivalent of touching a hot stove "innovative" and "sexy". Fuck tech, fuck the "oh but this would be so neat" scientists, fuck the billionaires, all hail King Ludd.

@gregpak I lowered my IG use just because it sucks. I don't want an app that's all just vacation photos and recycled memes.

@deirdrebeth @weirdwriter @NickEast @bookstodon @books I own a bookstore and have my collection at home, so I can take this question to inception levels.

@adhdeanasl @kimlockhartga @bookstodon Nothing wrong with confronting the other every once in a while.
