If you pay attention to the reactionaries, they always steal ideas from the left. Fake news, media bias? That’s Noam Chomsky. Incels stole the idea of critical examination of gender from feminists. Racists are banning books on the theory that they target people based on their race.

That’s why they’re called reactionaries. They cannot organize and ideology or a movement except as an opposition to the left dragging society forward. And like anyone motivated by spite and envy, they study us closely.

MRW I BECAME A HOMEOWNER:

If you accept someone unilaterally, your sending the message that they matter more.

I mean when everyone else is jettisoning moderation, reddit is cracking down on bots and trolls? I don’t hate it.

That sentence only needed the first word to be mildlyinfuriating.

You don’t need IP to know what happens when mythologies are lost. Entire languages along with libraries of stories and myths go extinct all the time.

You’ve got the vin diagram of haters because she’s popular and successful; the bigots who resent representation; and the normies who are influenced the former two.

This can be confusing. Should I stop reading the WaPo? Well, I already don’t subscribe, jump the paywall, and block ads. Me using the site hurts him more than if i didn’t. Same thing with the Smart Speakers. Amazon has lost (IIRC) like 12B on that venture, and so long as you don’t use it to order stuff, it’s costs Bozo for a person to use it.

You should seek advice from a doctor, or perhaps a community for people with allergies.

I’ve noticed that many flights hand out pretzels instead of nuts. Perhaps there is a way to find out which airlines and witch flights do this.

What you have to understand is that Lemmy is full of tech people who are bombarded with “AI is the future” messaging all day long. And implicit in all of that is layoffs for tech workers and enshitification for everyone else.

Seeing a reaction without context is always going to look irrational. People know that AI has it’s uses and can even be pretty neat. But what it’s being sold as is a gigantic lie that’s going to hurt people.

What I learned from Reddit is that debate is a waste of time.

I once had a guy argue that Wernher von Braun wasn’t in the German Military.

I reminded him that von Braun was a Colonial in the SS.

“The SS was not part of the German military”

The press conference was a big fucking deal. Photos of it are likely to make it into school textbooks.

What you’re seeing is a re-alignment of the global hegemony. The last time that happened, it took 2 world wars to sort it out.

I would open a text program and write: Dear self, why would you want to escape the timeloop? You’re functionally immortal and free from consequence.

And then every day would start with me opening the file and going “oh yea” and having another kick-ass day.

Your Myers-Briggs type is the bullshit standard that’s likely to effect you job prospects. IQ is bullshit too, but it’s out of fashion bullshit.

I didn’t consider the friction of integrating it into your existing process because I use a manual password manager. But who is saying you should replace a password manager with passkeys? It was always meant to be a parallel system.

Edit: I just wanted to add that people like you and I who have “solved” our credentials problems are a tiny minority. Passwords are shit. Just because we’ve grown accustomed to them doesn’t change that.

Passkeys are light years ahead of 2fA in user experience. Why do you dislike them?

Security based on devices is one of the positive innovations of smartphones and perhaps the only area where they’ve improved over the desktop experience.

It’s difficult to measure rape statistics across countries. But we know, that if guns were prophylactic to rape, the US should have a disproportionately low statistic. It does not.

And anybody who knows about rape knows that guns are impotent to stop the vast majority. That’s because a large portion of rape victims support and protect their attacker because it’s somebody they love.

But sure, in an 80s action move fantasy, a woman with a gun is safe I guess.

The money in AI is going to be the wages of the people it replaces. Those tech billionaires call it a revolution because getting labor without wages is the promised land for cunt billionaires.

The AI revolution is here because that’s what the owners want. If you think they’ll wait until the AI is as good as humans to replace humans I’ll point out that self-checkout already exists.

He’s talking about the Soviet Union. This would have been clear to anyone at the time. Conspiracy just means more than one person working together.

There should be a warning label on any establishment or product that requires a smartphone to use.
