It's fun watching people discover the paradox of tolerance in real time.

Women are sexually assaulted at rates that are fucking disturbing.

I'd punch you in the face in a heartbeat if you called my wife a whore. We don't tolerate intolerance. Get with the program.

We all had history classes.

Violence is the most effective tool the working class has by a country mile so they don't get devoured by the wealthys politics and bullshit.

Regulations for business are quite literally often written in blood.

Violence is the last thing some people even understand. Sure it should be a last resort most of the time.

On the other hand Cornell, frats, and the fact that women are sexually assaulted at disturbing rates.

I'd punch an openly misogynistic person too. We've spent too many decades not punching shitty people, now we have fascists popping up all over again.

" you can turn that stuff off"

Can I not purchase it in the first god damn place? "Sure you can but it only lasts 4 years now or just when the warranty expires!"

Let's not even get started on the obfuscation of fixing your own shit, right to repair exists for a reason dumbass. Parts are barely available, manuals non-existent, and no one on staff knows how to do shit 90% of the time.

It's like you can't think more than one move ahead and you've never spent a single day in the real world.

"Let's put this extra tech in and charge everyone more! Fuck letting them opt out!"

You're a corporate apologist who'd sooner sell their fellow man down the river for $50 and a pat on the back from your daddy manager.

You are lost.

That people can think we only exist to be productive is a sad fucking state.

Fix yourself, you are the problem with this world.

You will optimize everything until you sit there and wonder why the fuck you're still unhappy, completely missing the point of everything in your life.

You've been convinced by people with infinite greed, that greed is hardwired into us.

It's this belief that is leading the world into regression after decades of progress.

Kind of wild that as software has literally gotten worse by locking features behind awful subscriptions, stealing your data, spying on you, etc, that you defend it as better than ever.

Wild that as most appliances now have Wifi or other bullshit features for no reason and also breakdown after 3 years you say everythings better! Planned obsolescence is good I guess???

Do you even live in the real world? Were you born yesterday? You are outright lying and anyone who lives in the real world can feel it.

CEC barely works half the time. Plugging in my vynils analogy cables NEVER FAILS.

Don't be so disingenuous, it's embarrassing. Boots don't need licking.

Linus Torvalds posts his first AI-assisted patch to the Linux kernel, synthetic test clocks 23x performance leap — the bossman makes use of AI tooling himself after issuing clear pro-AI directives

Fair enough!

I've been vocally against Linus AI advocacy, but I do understand all the points you make here.

I don't like that a lot of stupid people will take Torvalds use and embrace of AI as gospel that AI is some be all end all.

I also LOATH that he is indirectly benefitting fascist corporations that committed the largest theft in human history.

But the code is good 🤷‍♂️

To say I am conflicted, is an understatement.

I love this, well done.

I really hope more people stop fooling themselves with these five minutes of happiness style purchases.

It's far more beneficial to find a hobby.

Please everyone, there are actually really damn fun things to do and explore out there that aren't algorithmically fed to you.

Paint, hike, take up photography(buy used!), learn something you lack, read a book.

Buying garbage isn't good for you, the planet, or your mental health when it's all said and done especially if you struggle financially.

Those small dopamine hits also help to lengthen and strengthen ADHD and depression.

Unfortunately the wife and I have been through both. It's a complicated issue especially since it's entangled with socioeconomic factors out of all of our control.

I hope it gets better for you, and all of us soon.
