Explains a lot about why every person I met that religiously use LLMs for personal use have been bumbling fucking morons.

My first desktop was GNOME and I fell in love with it.

Then I met KDE, and I realized there’s just far too many desktops in the sea to be so committal to just one desktop…

I mean, I even got XFCE on my netbook on the side for when I’m feeling frisky and just need a quick read on github for something that I’ve been meaning to look into.

But KDE and I have been in a happy open source desktop relationship for approximately a year now.

Elbows Up is a just a neolib wool over the eyes to go on perpetuating the same bullshit that led to the decay of morality and giving rise to fascism. Get pissed at your leaders and call them out on their bullshit.

I’m reading this within two hours of setting up and playing around with my own local SearXNG instance. I’m glad people are utilizing a more privacy respecting platform, but too bad it’s more about “God! Fuck this AI shit, get it out of my face!” more-so than people taking control of their own privacy.

Don’t get me wrong though, “God! Fuck this AI shit, get it out of my face!” is the appropriate response.

Other than agreeing about the bit about Hollywood, I don’t have much of an opinion honestly.

I just wanted to say I appreciate the googly eyes on Chewbacca in this image.

It’s amazing how irrational that is when you put it that way, isn’t it?

They really do just hate the working class, don’t they? Even if it means a net negative in productivity.

I fasted about 48 hours to experience a semi ascetic acid trip. Was a good time; had some incredible break throughs. Dived into a pool, and it felt like I was diving into a kaleidoscope of colors. Can’t recommend anyone experience it that way, nor would I say I’d do it that way again, but taking your mind and body through moderated extremes can be pretty profound; assuming you have people around you to make sure you’re not doing anything particularly stupid to hurt yourself or others.

Resist with a resurgence of live music where people witness live talent and skill of their instruments, that write incredible pieces and songs. Get involved with your local music scene. Share music you love with people who appreciate the artistry.

Besides the massive hegemons of the music industry, the vast, vast, vast majority of incredible music that are available on streaming platforms from artists, bigger and smaller, barely made them an income from streaming to begin with; they used it as a marketing tool for people to access their art, and otherwise monetize their brand by selling LIVE SHOWS! Selling merch! This is how they really made money off their work. And even then, many of them still have day jobs to make ends meet. They do it because it’s their passion man.

The Taylor Swifts and Bad Bunnys of the world will do fine; their labels will find a way to profiteer off AI with their brand and image. Yes this screws over smaller artists again, but what more is a lost fraction of a fraction of a penny going to do for them if they already struggle to begin with? Resist. Go to a live show.

Edit: also note, be mindful of how live music venues are in cahoots with stealing profits from artists and smaller venues. Support your local music scene.

Dabbled with Linux on a Raspberry Pi and a laptop that I only used from time to time; it wasn’t until the imminent Windows 10 support drop announcement that I finally installed it in my main rig. The words “fuck it” were uttered in my mind too.

Let it be the beginning of the end of right wing, war criminal bullshit; while Mamdani takes the city at the turn of the century

Let’s see how that fairs out with say, for example, a general strike?

It comes up rising out of the ashes like a phoenix, now that Google is ruining Android.

NileRed who makes entertaining chemistry videos of making random things, has a video on making a caffeine free Red Bull:

Its pretty much a guide on making it yourself if you’re daring and have the resources. And don’t forget to follow that up with his video on how he turned latex gloves into hot sauce .

Yes, touching grass and talking to someone with life experience and their own opinions is better than talking to an LLM that agrees and validates everything you say, doesn’t hold you accountable, and siphons your data, all while you get more and more mentally ill (because people treat talking to an LLM like they’re talking to a Cortana like AGI, but the limitations of machine learning make it literally fucking impossible).

The Stalin levels of ball coddling from these fucking oligarchs is beyond mildly infuriating 😤
