Don’t think it’s a problem that gets fixed until there is a DoTP. Don’t think it’s an essential tool for getting there either.

People react to the tangible benefits over ideas. We can say religion is the opiate of the masses, but it’s the institution that dominates mutual aid, addiction services, bereavement and prisons. Finding people at their most desperate and rewiring their brains with hopeful experiences that lead to fanatical devotion.

Tech companies can only come so close with their multi-billion dollar algorithms. FOSS and decentralised efforts have entirely missed the mark by assuming that the lack of this sophistication is “a feature, not a bug”. This doesn’t appeal to most people. They want that dopamine fix from the algorithm. They want simple, intuitive tech, and TikTok reinvented the TV for them in a way Western tech pathetically couldn’t replicate, so they had to buy them out.

Let it happen. The “seed” is the social infrastructure we must build to deal with more important things like food, medicine and housing.

Remember when people used to freak out about fema camps?

It’s the singularity cult, capital is long dead and robot feudalism is the only way out for them.

The dead eyes capture how everyday people feel about this. Like performative empathy for the Ukrainians, but let’s keep putting them through the meat grinder to weaken Russia.

I love Ben Nortan’s monotone screaming.

Open source pushed me toward ml theory. In a bad way.

Like since log4j, a lot of foss can’t be relied on without significant public investment.

That’s fair enough, but Americans are bringing in this cancerous “upper and lower, not left or right” rhetoric that I am convinced is a psyop to take the class consciousness and cool with meagre reformism. Not even like the Bismark health reforms, but “yay, we don’t have to pay for anaesthetic while covered, terrorism rules” reformism.

Tell me what I am saying it is just clinical depression. But the left is in no way ready for this and this whole thing is going to be co-opted by the far right.

“Health CEOs” are fair enough, but libs have some weird Voldemort hangup calling out the shareholders.

Before movies became political

Can’t wait to see what final evolution of vegetable I reach after a lifetime of exposure to microplastics and PFAs

I love all the posts complaining about this and watching them result in nothing. Touchscreens will still be everywhere with as much built in surveillance eating cpu cycles so it’s every is super slow. Data is the last frontier and it’s a mad race to the bottom for the new feudal lords.

STOP KONY

Been there, done that. Gopher, Gemini, Web 0.1 everybody gets bored of each other and the whole things dies.

That raw autistic energy to document power plants or subways just wasn’t there and you were just reading about the mundane lives and half baked manifestos of these glorified bloggers.

So sick of this rvturn shit. Whether it’s ironic and unironic. Stop moaning like life has system restore points and challenge yourself with a sound materialist analysis of what you think not feel has gone wrong.

But they reassure everybody it’s just corn startch and will wash away. It feels almost satirical.

Imagine a future with less fast food workers and more occupational therapists.
