So many machines, yet I’m working more hours than my ancestors.

All they need now is to promise VR and self driving cars, and they’ll have a hype-tech bingo.

Just did it. literally the first result was for notepad ++

With pleasure.

Me: I know, I’ll choose…

Linux community: WRONG!!!

The fact this is a bipartison bill should have everyone concerned, and figuring out who exactly is supporting this bill, and when is their relelection coming up.

That if these people really cared about social justice, they would have put their money where their mouths were and left long ago, instead of constantly making excuses and justifying their continued presence there.

I don’t care how they spin it, their activity on x undermines the marginalized people they claim to support. By continuing to post updates and posts there, and nowhere else, they keep their userbase on the site, which contributes to site traffic, which contributes to ad revenue, which contributes to Musk financially, which contributes to politicians, organizations, and causes that wish to peel back rights to workers, racial minorities, women, and queer people.

These are some of the same people that argued continuing to consume Harry Potter, or shopping at Hobby Lobby and Chic-Fil-A were harmful acts. As a queer person, I often agree with their messages, but I am getting so. fucking. tired of the hypocrisy in some of these people. And twitter/X has been the biggest integrity check for me.

And no, they can’t use the system argument that explains why they participate in capitalism despite being anti-capitalists. We all need to interact with capitalism in one way or another to survive. Most people don’t need fucking twitter. Especially when there are so many alternate platforms, and I’m not even talking about just microblogs either.

Fuck they don’t even throw a line to some of the smaller platforms. If they did that at least, people who don’t feel safe using the site, or don’t want to support Musk financially, wouldn’t have to view their content from halfway broken nitter. But nope, no account on any mastodon server, no attempt to establish themselves on bluesky, or hell any regular updates on the threads account they made but never use.

And many of us queer users, these stripping away of protections and features hurt us the most. Many left cause they didn’t feel safe anymore, and that is part of the reason many of us are on fediverse. We see better than anyone who these influencers and content creators actually care about. None of them followed us here. None of them even throw us a bone. We’re are forced to look through a frosted window, or do without, and at this point, I have found myself doing more of the latter.

Either stick to your fucking principles or admit you have an addiction you can’t easily kick. But please for the love of god stop trying to paint your remaining there as righteous or justified.

Musk: (literally shocks you with electricity for using the site)

Twitter leftists/liberals: My followers are here, fediverse is CoMpLiCaTeD, I need to stay here to reach people, there are no good alts, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, I’m staying in protest, I can leave whenever I want…

So does it allow this by granting immortality or by necromancy?

Maybe it’s because I have ad blockers on, and try to avoid AI like the plague, but my google searches are giving me actual results rather than what you’re describing.

Then again, I know google gives different results based on the user.

I just looked through the communities they mod. Unless you are dying to engage with illegalimigration, mixedrace, revelation, askconspiracytheorists, antiwitchcraft, fluoride, chemtrails, or newworldorder, I don’t think anything of value was lost.

Isn’t android also linux?

Then I take comfort in the fact it might serve to sabotage whatever it generates.

I just take comfort in the fact that my art will never be good enough for a generative Ai to steal.

So basically they’re not leaving, they are silencing their political coverage. They’re not going anywhere, they’re caving to pressure.

Now I see why you guys like Lemmy.

Thank you!

I’m in. Where can I read this?

Black king enlist the help of an Ai to replace pawns

Ai is too powerful to control

Ai takes this as a sign of weakness in humanity

Ai, instead of enslaving humanity, starts shuffling around art it took from the internet. Leaches off of pawns’ income.

Pawns returns to work to make up for lost income.

@morph Thanks 😊
