Når nokon spør om hjelp til noko på internett, og folk berre «Limer inn dette svaret som KI ga meg her jeg :)» Kan vi få inn ein paragraf i straffelova mot det?

Culture is a form of data. History is a form of data. Identity is a form of data. That is enough to highlight that folks who don't have to assert themselves due to them being mainlined in society are ambivalent to the data protection of everyone else (it's the French Revolution all over again).

People do care about their data; they happen to not use the same language that tech folks use when they're talking about. And frankly, we as tech folks fucked up by fighting for React and JavaScript everywhere (dev happiness) over privacy and safety (user integrity). It's our fault.

"I don't like being called cis" "I don't like being called white" "I don't like being called abled" That's because you view yourself as "normal" or "the default" and everyone else as *not*. Viewing yourself as the baseline is just another form of prejudice. It's just a more implicit type.

Final Destination 2 and Finding Nemo are both movies from 2003 where a kid is in a dentist's office with a prominent fish tank, a fish gets sucked up by the filter and a bird flies into the window. End of post.

just said this on another post but it bears repeating: the thing about continuing to give money to any jk rowling properties or the nyt is not that they’re shitty about trans people, which they are. it is that both of these entities MATERIALLY CONTRIBUTE to the legal challenges to trans rights

1. Amnesty International has withstood threats from death squads and dictators. But it could not stand up to JK Rowling and the anti-trans movement she finances. It has apologized for calling those groups "anti-rights" after legal threats. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Amnesty International UK Caves To JK Rowling, Issues Apology For Calling Anti-Trans Groups "Anti-Rights"

The organization has stood up to dictators and death squads, but Rowling and the UK's anti-speech laws were apparently too much.

🧵 Blacksky is looking to buy a server for $30k USD. We'd like the following specs or better: - 384 GB RAM - 80 TB NVMe; ZFS RAIDZ2 in 2 vdevs - 1 Gbps + 10 Gpbs burstable - at least 84 threads for the CPU(s) - Ideally somewhere in the eastern half of North America but open to North America and EU

The conservative solution for the “male loneliness epidemic” and decentering men is to just remove women from public spaces.

It's notable that when Belarus/Russia did this to Poland, other EU countries didn't respond by blaming Poland. They blamed Belarus/Russia. No mystery why Europe's governing conservatives are blaming the EU's only leftist prime minister.

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa

Let’s be clear: what these bastards are doing to these books isn’t digitizing. Digitizing is about preservation and access to the original material. They’re gutting and destroying to make Soylent Green. Don’t let them get away with pretending to do this for humanitarian reasons.
