The opposition of the Nazis were banking on the Nazi government not working out so much they’ll win with a sweep (liberals), or that it will radicalize the average people (communists). They ended up in concentration camps.

Because “DOGE” isn’t about efficiency, but rather enforcing far-right ideology, by making anything left of Mussolini ineffective.

It costs a holiday and a nice dinner to make the SCOTUS say “um, ackchually, the constitution doesn’t say anything about access to the internet”.

If only there were modern day examples like Russia, Hungary, and even the US; or historical examples like Nazi Germany, to show where this “what about the children” excuse could lead us to…

Likely it’ll use the cloud for processing, you’ll just get really hard-to-opt-out AI features, like “prompt by default” and “AI autocomplete”, which you can only “snooze” as they’ll automatically be turned back on the moment there’s a “great new feature”, like putting a filter on by default on image generators to fool the eye that it’s made by real artists.

“Popehammer” sounds like the name of a Catholic Power Metal band…

At current level, companies with AI to replace jobs are like people at the poker table trying to bluff they have a royal flush while at best they only have a straight. It’s more of a negotiation tool at its current time.

Try a trade job while being disabled, and not in a “helping dad refurbish the bathroom” style scenario. You’ll understand why many people are not choosing trade jobs.

I personally use RemedyBG + Kate + langservers (I might even make my own), which is actually better than VS.

Also at least one of the songs featured promotes irredentism, which is still very controversial even after decades of pushing the Overton window to the far-right.

I’m a developer, and I can’t just skip Windows support, also the “GUI” for debuggers on Linux aee pretty much just separate terminals for gdb, and often I can’t just jank my way out with printf() from various issues.

Someone must voice these tweets!

Centrism just got appropriated by the far-right, to push the overton window to the right, that’s all. Got a few actually centrist friends, they repeatedly get called “radical communists” for wanting to tax the rich.

For fascists, hypocrisy is a power move. It communicates to others you’re so powerful you’re effectively unstoppable.

Authoritarians like other authoritarians, until their paths to more control collide.

Kinky

He’d became a martyr. The best chance way the ruling class could handle this is letting him go on the condition that he denies every publicity possible for a given years, even “just” imprisonment would communicate “we fear guys like this”.

The only legitimate use of genAI…

I got a glimpse into one of those places, they use porn to point and laugh at “degenerates not knowing you were supposed to shit with your ass, and not insert objects there” and the likes. When Kirk James (the guy who did the goatse image) became a sensation, it wasn’t because of people found it hot, it was literally a precursor of the later cringe culture. Except some of us actually thought it was hot.

If you do enough bad things, bad faith criticisms get their way ahead.
