Sam Altman hates that you own a computer. He wants to own your computer, and get paid when you use it, and monitor what you do with it, and decide what you're allowed to do with it. Like every other Silicon Valley bigwig these days his entire business model is that he should own you.
Night of the Abigail@popeguilty.bsky.social · 2d agoComing right out and saying that OpenAI's vision of the future is one in which they own all computers and you rent computing from them... or at least, you rent time and power doing whatever Sam Altman thinks you should be allowed to do. This is an authoritarian worldview that must be annihilated.
It appears that Discord has broken stream watching on linux
The costume theme at my wife’s office today was “dead celebrities” and she came up with this one all on her own. 10/10 no notes.
It's an old story but I'll tell it again because I love to tell it: This is the sort of thing I would do to piss off the trolls back in the day: Go outside and ride my weirdo bike around instead of arguing on the internet with them. /1
Xydexx Unicorn 🦄💕🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈@xydexxunicorn.bsky.social · 3y agoIt's an old story but I'll tell it again: When dipshit trolls try to argue with me, I like to go outside and ride my weird bike 40-something miles on a beautiful sunny day. Then they declare themselves the winner because I "ran away." I still don't know how to respond to "ha ha, you went OUTSIDE."
If you want the Star Trek future that Stewart sold you through Picard you actually have to take action to make it so. Not with questionable apps or flying boondoggles but mutual support, solidarity, political activism. If you feel the loss of your TV dad, honour his memory by doing something.
SIDNEY APPLEBAUM?@pablum.bsky.social · 2d agodo not funnel your grief over this death into trek and x-men merch, paramount & disney dont need your money. go to plays, give to charities, vote for candidates who will fund public art, and you will make it possible for people like patrick stewart to exist and keep existing. a rising tide lifts all
I was thinking about a friend, just spending time with him, smooching, cuddling, going out to a bathhouse together and the feeling goes hard (figuratively and literally) but like, what's the point. I'm just making myself sad.
every single reporting of this new feature is extremely obnoxious because its fearmongering about a highly requested feature that stems from discussions surrounding troubleshooting and whatnot becoming relegated to closed off discord servers instead of public forums and discussion boards.
Benjanun Sriduangkaew @ Persephone Effect out now@benjanun.bsky.social · 5d agoDiscord is like 'please cancel Nitro en masse again we love losing subscriptions'.
Name a cloud provider that isn't Amazon, Google, or Microsoft. I'm biased against Apple also but like at least they're not subject to active boycotts I've promised to support.
Spotted a Turbostar today (a type of 30 year old diesel train) in current EMR livery with a "low emissions train" sticker on it. Do the government think we're stupid? (@garethdennis.uk)
I will be okay. Not because everything is fine, but because I am surprisingly difficult to destroy.
Finally they're fixing one of the biggest problems with Discord
If you liked this ad it's time to schedule your annual checkup

now this is a smart explanation of the problem
You know actually getting involved in local politics has been one of the best things I've done in a long time but also some parts of it make me want to dig a hole and never come out of it. It may surprise you to learn given, you know, my socials, that the biggest of these is political social media.
The dragon will retrieve any goblins who accidentally fall into the cave. They are very gentle.
During the brazilian elections we learned one obvious but important tactic to defeat the far right on the Internet and I think everyone should know it: IGNORE THEM! DON'T ENGAGE WITH THEIR CONTENT! DON'T MAKE CONTENT REACTING TO THEM! DON'T HATE QRT! LET THEM ALONE IN THEIR BUBBLE!
Try this. The engine is possessed, you do not control it, it tolerates you for its own devices. Rolling along at walking pace, you can jump off if you see something interesting but make it quick. The train is safety, you are under its protection, the further you get from it the harder things get.
Temporary Dog@stonewolf.bsky.social · last wk.Oh the frosty apocalypse survival game is just zombies again. Fucking yawn
London has probably now got the cleanest air out of any equivalent sized cities in the world thanks to Ulez, electric cars and buses.
Michael Druker 🇨🇦@mdruker.app · last wk.Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?
Brilliant, back to the objectively worse bullshit version of time. I like the extra hour in bed but it's not worth stealing light from evening people to give it to morning people who already structured all of society around themselves.
"A.i." is a tool of extraction, not liberation. These fucking products are designed to fuck you over, not help you.
The Lever@levernews.com · last wk.You asked AI for the cheapest flight. It dug through your emails, decided you could afford more, and suggested a ticket costing $100–$200 extra. Lindsay Owens explains ⬇️
