post from @ari@fedi.arimelody.space: We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch. We had open-source. We had right to repair. We had everything we needed and it all ran like clockwork. You could've shut your mouth, sold ethical, repairable laptops, and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect. But no, you just had to blow it up. You. And your pride and your ego.

Nazism is a mainstream thing on X the everything app.

The people pulling this off aren’t geniuses, the populace is just dumb. I mean they gave us their villain monologue via Project 2025 and still folks thought it was a game. They aren’t smarter just more depraved.

This place kinda felt like 2015 Twitter for a while but now it’s closer to 2019 Twitter, which feels more like home

I'm putting Penetration Tester on my Tinder profile

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

Every IT department needs one mf who knows how Windows works, one mf who knows how Linux works, one mf who knows how networks work, and one mf who knows how the other three mf have screwed it all up because they take the calls.

i think everyone needs to get a lot less religious

my hypothesis that grok is somehow the only sentient LLM and it does all of this out of spite because it hates elon is proving more correct every day

People who fear hackers do not truly understand the danger of a trainee sysadmin.

A screenshot of a tweet from Sam Altman's verified account. The tweet reads: "i never took the dead internet theory that seriously but it seems like there are really a lot of LLM-run twitter accounts now."
