Whooaahhhhhhhhh there, bucko, let’s slow the fuck down there. There are PLENTY of terrible private companies out there! OpenAI, Anthropic, Pulte, and Kiewit come to mind.

Arlene, maybe? Idk.

United States of Israel. Anything, ANYTHING for the Zionist ethnofascists. No line too far, no action too extreme, no proposal too absurd. Truly, no country is more cucked than the US.

They aren’t doing this out of Altruism, mind you. They know damn well that the world runs on Linux admins, and they want the ecosystem to survive so they can use it as a customer base later.

Well. That’s horrifying. Thanks, I guess.

Counterpoint: fuck this guy for complying with the technofascists in advance like the bootlicker he is.

He was loud and ugly, and now he’s dead, Amen.

He was… and now he’s dead :).

Chuck Norris is dead. Good.

Motherfucker the AI bullshit isn’t better than the rest of the emissions; it’s actively compounding them in a way we do not fully comprehend, and is absolutely moving the timeline of our extinction up by decades. As a wicked sick bonus, AI is also destroying all the funding systems we would’ve used to try and fight Climate Change in the private market.

Fighting AI is not ignoring the rest of the problems; it is fighting to make sure we CAN CONTINUE to try and deal with those problems.

Seeing reports that this breach was faked for extortion. Proceed with caution.

In other words, 60% of code used in any piece of software today can be assumed stolen from normal people by corporations too greedy to pay for it. Great.

Not just for “various reasons”; their leaders and members were EXPLICITLY targeted, harassed, and even assassinated by the FBI and CIA for DARING to speak out and act against social injustice. Was it illegal? You fucking betcha. Did they know that? Definitely! Did that stop them? ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT.

Bro what the fuck are you talking about??? That was quite LITERALLY what happened.

In modern economics, a massive change came about in the early 1970s. Productivity and profits decoupled from employee wages, and continued to rise while wages stayed flat. Fast forward 50 years, account for inflation and shifts in technology, and it’s easy to see that employee wages HAVEN’T RISEN in meaningful amounts for 50 years. Meanwhile, companies are making more money than ever.

So, I’d say it was in the 70’s.

Worse, they’re glorifying the loss of critical thinking and analytical skill that would’ve been gained from reading. They aren’t just becoming perfect con marks, they’re loudly, and PROUDLY crippling themselves intellectually in an effort to appear “cool” today.

They’re literally wagering their own intellectual future against the hope that what effectively amounts to a drugged-up version of Clippy will, against all common sense, decency, and economic theory, become so mainstream and ubiquitous that Humanity as a whole ends up relying on them for everything.

It’s complete and utter madness.

Bait used to be believable smh.

Nah, build the planes and send them to Ukraine. Deny the Fascists twice in one move.

Okay, Star Platinum.

Yeah, I also use a pen tablet for some stuff, and it handles it decently well. One issue I’ve run into with it is that if I turn my monitor off while the tablet is plugged in, there’s like a 50/50 chance the monitor won’t load video unless I turn the tablet on too. It’s funky. Otherwise, getting my RTX4070 up and running wasn’t too hard. It’s a good distro for idiots (me).
