and meanwhile, the american supreme court is ruling on terminating online access due to piracy today. I wonder what they’ll rule…

My family settled here in 1630. I don’t feel shame about being american, I feel dread at the resurrgence of barbaric population control as opposed to compassionate capitalism and universal basic income for all. My entire childhood and participation in civics was a temporary era not the foundation of a beautiful future.

I look at my children and want to apologize to them for what they’ll endure after my demise. What a way to wake up…

Hold your forearm out so I can compare it to this color palette. We’ll go from there. /s

And I’m over here feeling dread on my children’s behalf for the same time period.

took all of 5 minutes to convert plex-on-pi to jellyfin-on-pi. Probably harder to rename the host than install… fstab’s already set up and errything

Scoutmasters have been attacking boy friendly spaces for decades

Your question is too vague to give any practical advice. I guess my advice is don’t be so vague? There are 100s of subjects within the umbrella term of AI (you’re actually talking about tokenized data inferred by LLMs but I digress). A healthy distrust around centralization of all the things is an honest conversation between adults. Using these various LLMs to remove tedious blockers to one’s work is perfectly acceptable.

Now if you’re coming at this from an envrionmental angle, then have that conversation with your people just as honestly as the centralization conversation. If you’re in a position wherein people hang on your advice, being diplomatic for self-preservation reasons is the worst thing you can do.

sooner than later, “agentic AI” will replace the “employee cost burden”. I presume they’ll charge per AI agent and produce revenue at scale.

everything you see in politics nowadays is a race against the clock to create infrastructure to “deal with” the unwashed, unemployed, hungry masses. UBI is not going to win out over soylent green.

Here’s the first admission I’ve found of what’s on the way: https://fortune.com/2025/11/20/gen-z-college-grad-unemployment-could-hit-25-percent-warns-us-senator-unprecedented-disruption-ai/

Can’t wait for the “FOSS enables the bad guys to download 2 marijuanas” headlines from MSM.

That’s a lot of words for “didn’t take the email seriously enough to ask if they were sent the notification in error”. We’re all adults and the way end users treat IT is a microcosm of why the world is marching toward enshitification of everything.

Made 200k in six weeks back pre-split using 2x leverage. Any other play is diminishing returns/opportunity cost. Dumbest thing I ever did.

alternative: “huh? drumpf? OH! That guy who sucked Bill Clinton’s dick! Yeah, what about him again? Sorry, the visual is distracting, don’t you agree?”

The age of accelerated enshitification is upon us (has been for a minute)

They really didn’t think the unwashed masses would figure it out in time. Ego is a hell of a drug.

trump giving bubba the ole gluck gluck 3000 is going to make the holidays either completely bearable, or jerry springer material. No in-between. First mention of him should always be met with “isn’t that the guy who blew bill clinton?”

No matter how your drunk uncle replies, you can then follow that up with “I’m happy to see you be so supportive of alternative lifestyles”

Be prepared to throw hands as uncy kyle wrestles with his most repressed memories from boy scout camp though.

Bold to assume your registry won’t restore last known ‘good’ config. Linux mint with quickemu is a great way to use Windows if you have to.

Are you gatekeeping homophobia? That’s homophobic or something. Not everything is an attack on someone’s station in life. Stop flattering yourself.

Your brother is gay, brother. He’ll off himself before he admits it, though. Transferrance is a hell of a drug.
