It seems I have been muted, at least my posts are no longer showing up. My best guess is it's because I told an AI proponent to go fuck themselves. I can live with what I said, but I will not tolerate being modded away without so much as a notification (not the first questionable incident on this server). In case you end up being able to read this at a later time: I have abandoned this account and will move to my own instance.

I think humanity has crossed the #ai event horizon; Not one of #PaperclipMaximizers, but one where we've utterly stopped valueing expertise. #VibeCoding is no longer seen as terribly amateurish, but as the logical conclusion of the "good enough"-engineering of the past decades. Expect products, hard- and software, to continue their steep decline in quality. I suspect folks with an #engineering mindset will drop out completely. Growing veggies instead. *I* will. Goodbye humans. #cyberpunk

TFW a left-wing, neurodivergent account starts spewing about *their* "AI" app shit... Fuck, no.

Every day for 10 days I’m gonna share something that brings me joy.

Why? To remind myself why it’s worth fighting fascism. And I hope that it brings a little delight to your timeline as well.

Day 6:
Spending a day at a nice #spa / #sauna, usually with my #ebook #ereader chock-full of nice #rfc and #spec documents. Yes, I find reading those *extremely* relaxing.

Gestern hatte ich sehr viel Spaß mit verdrehten Sprichwörtern. :D
Habt ihr Vorschläge, die dringend noch gezeichnet werden sollten?

Day 5:
Doing *extremely* #nerdy things *whenever* I can. Sometimes surreptitiously. *I* know why I tried comitting the #Origami instructions for a #unicorn to memory ;-) (Hint: #BladeRunner #Cyberpunk )

Schon wieder zwei Followys entfernt, die meinten, "Boomer" im negativen Kontext raushauen zu müssen. Was stimmt denn nicht mit euch?!

Ey, ehrlich, seid ihr so gedankenlos oder macht ihr das mit Absicht? Begriffe wie "Boomer" als Beleidigung zu benutzen ist einfach respektlos. Ihr reduziert Menschen auf ihr Alter und tut so, als wären ganze Generationen schuld an allem. Das ist Altersdiskriminierung. Ja, genau das. Und genauso unethisch wie jede andere Form von Diskriminierung.

Also denkt mal nach, bevor ihr mit solchen abwertenden Begriffen um euch werft. Respekt ist keine Einbahnstraße.
