From November 1, 2024:
Zuckerberg: The AI Slop Will Continue Until Morale Improves ↗︎
↳ I’m not sure the platform needs this, the human generated trash is bad enough, right? Oh, no, sorry, AI based content prisons are fun! — added 9:24pm on 01/11/24 ❧
2.6% Performance Improvement With Minor Linux Kernel Patch ↗︎
↳ Things like this make Linux the most interesting in the pc space, to me. Chasing efficiency and access over profit is nice. — added 4:11pm on 01/11/24 ❧
Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel ↗︎
↳ A step in the right direction. Next stop, owning the games we buy??? — added 5:14am on 01/11/24 ❧
From October 31, 2024:
‘We are essentially in a new Gilded Age’: As workers get laid off, CEOs and shareholders gobble up hundreds of billions in profits ↗︎
↳ We’ve let them rule us for too long. We literally outnumber them in the billions. Capitalism must end or humanity will. — added 3:12pm on 31/10/24 ❧
Traditional sellers in Vietnam still aren’t sold on e-commerce ↗︎
↳ It’s interesting to think about modes of commerce both enabled and destroyed by the internet. Consumption is made convenient by e-sales but what does this mean? — added 7:26am on 31/10/24 ❧
Case closed: The ‘Dictator Dan’ label was justified ↗︎
↳ Can we do ‘genocide Albo’ next? — added 7:23am on 31/10/24 ❧
Kamala Harris Dropped a New Custom ‘Fortnite’ Map ↗︎
↳ Really? — added 7:16am on 31/10/24 ❧
The Vatican unveils official anime girl mascot ↗︎
↳ Why is it a small girl, Catholic Church? — added 6:34am on 31/10/24 ❧
From October 30, 2024:
Elon Musk Is Committing a Crime—but It Doesn’t Matter Because He’s Rich ↗︎
↳ Funny how this gets media attention. So often the criminal activity of the oligarchs is overlooked, even justified in mainstream news. — added 7:49am on 30/10/24 ❧
The real threat to refugees like me is politicians who give the green light to neo-Nazis ↗︎
↳ Rising permission from politicians to be xenophobic and racist is a serious problem. Fuck them and their blame of the disadvantaged. — added 7:31am on 30/10/24 ❧
Michelle Obama Asks Men to Please Not Fuck Us Over ↗︎
↳ Enjoyably engaging headline — trump and vance are the worst kind of misogynist. The American system is designed so deeply to enforce a 2 party system — and what does the liberal populace do the rest of the time the dems are in? Nothing to change the status quo of course. — added 7:14am on 30/10/24 ❧
Robinhood admits it’s just a gambling app ↗︎
↳ The entire stock market is gambling. It’s just protected and socially endorsed gambling for the ruling class. When any of “you peasants” do it, though, it’s gambling. When “we royalty” do it, it’s “strategic capital growth”. — added 6:41am on 30/10/24 ❧
A capitalist stranglehold on “artificial intelligence” ↗︎
↳ Hey, this is an alright read… — added 6:38am on 30/10/24 ❧
From October 29, 2024:
I Don’t Know Why Women Keep Laughing at Me When I’m Out Driving my Tesla Cybertruck ↗︎
↳ Sure you don’t. — added 9:52pm on 29/10/24 ❧
EU to Apple: “Let Users Choose Their Software”; Apple: “Nah” ↗︎
↳ *sigh* as someone still leaving the “almighty ecosystem” Apple’s abject refusal to open to third party stores or web based installers is really the killer on mobile. Not to mention the AI “features” rammed down your throat (though plenty of that in Google land). — added 6:52am on 29/10/24 ❧
