If the internet regresses into little sites and social media becomes a ghost town of bots and malicious state actors,

There it is

Liberals and centrists want only one thing, for the status quo to be maintained. They will pay lip service to progressive causes but only if they don’t disrupt what they think is *normal*. Hearing the people they play a part in oppressing begging for basic human rights makes them uncomfortable

wow I wonder why my entire body was in the air in the first place

Its crazy that a decent answer to “why is trans healthcare behind a multiple century waiting list specifically in Scotland“ is that JKR lives there

hey I could have sworn some demographic of people have been warning for the longest time that the anti-trans backlash would inevitably grow into a reinforcement of gender roles and an attempt to roll back all social progress

Changed my password and daddy corporation says I'm *allowed* to exist online now, until I use my VPN again I guess.

Fuck Reddit

i love how instead of just building a place for people to interact every one of these intellectually stunted coders thinks they're on some divine mission to shape human behavior

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10.

Windows 7 use is surging 5x now.

AI is product poison.

genuinely wild to see the founders of the website that was founded because the previous website's owner wanted to be a poster jump into the driver's seat, floor that pedal, and point their car down that exact same road

"You must dox yourself to use the internet" is dystopia shit, and everybody's just going along with it.

It's starting...

Shooting involving federal agents in Brighton Park under investigation According to the Department of Homeland Security, a woman allegedly "boxed in" federal authorities, who opened fire.

ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon.

There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified.

This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

This is fucking stupid.

and hey on the topic of ID laws

do you really trust Bluesky, whose admin and c-suites physically cannot stop themselves from posting-through-it, to be able to hold onto your fucking govt ID and not leak it in a data breach like Discord?

these policies suck, they are dangerous, call your reps

Here’s a thing I’ll add, as someone who’s been there: if you’re the CEO of a platform with millions of users, you don’t get to have as much fun on that platform, period. And your job is to eat shit every time a legitimate critique of policy comes up. That’s the gig. Don’t sign up if you aren’t game.

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via Al video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people."

This. Is. Why. I. Paint.

Eh, it’s almost like decentralization, as spun by tech gentry, has always been about abdicating the already minimal protections our society obliged those with capital to adhere to, by shifting the responsibility for them onto the individual, who lack the systemic tools the gentry control.

But I’m gonna be honest, I really feel like it’s something as simple as, these folks are capitalists. They have the power, the money, the assets, and therefore must be obeyed. To them, we’re the broken cog gumming up the perfect hierarchy and market they control.

This,

I've been on protests where old middle class folk try to appeal to the pigs "you're better than this" "This isn't what you signed up for" etc

I always tell them, and the pigs, that actually, this is EXACTLY what they signed up for and LOVE every second of knocking us about and arresting us

A few years ago I tried to explain to some cis folks in the US that the waiting list for a first appointment in the GIC system was over two decades long, and was told I was exaggerating things.

Turns out I was being overly optimistic by an order of magnitude.

This is stochastic genocide.
