The incredible juxtaposition of an endless stream of half-assed AI slop projects in the self-hosted community and the original Jellyfin developers stepping away due to burnout from AI and toxic users.

"There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids,” Joseph Pollard replied, voice rising. “The whole fucking country. The whole fucking administration, every single fucking day.”

BOISE, Idaho — After May Pollard died on a late-January morning, a detective asked her parents a question: Had anyone wanted to hurt her? “A lot of America,” her mother answered. Less than an hour earlier, Elyse Thorpe had found her daughter’s body inside their home, called 911 and sobbed as she tried to revive her. May, an avid poet and gamer, had been struggling and increasingly withdrawn. Now, at 16, she was gone. And the detective, from the Boise Police Department, wanted to know what Elyse meant. May’s father answered instead. “There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids,” Joseph Pollard replied, voice rising. “The whole f-----g country. The whole f-----g administration, every single f-----g day.”

Everyone should read this story and see how the state of Idaho, the Trump administration, and hate groups such as ADF, SEGM, Do No Harm, and the Manhattan Institute have blood on their hands. They murdered this trans teen and her future. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

I've been largely Unplugged™️ from the internet for the last few months and I gotta say, the stuff I do see about AI and software engineering is fucking bleak. I can't help but think about the tools and impact we could build with 1/10th the investment, hype, and attention.
