I love Blade Runner, but I don’t know if we want that future. I believe we want that duster he’s wearing, but not the, uh, not the bleak apocalypse.

there’s nothing more painful than when capitalists think they understand cyberpunk

the Determinate Nix move was such an obvious next step I was convinced they had already done it; I guess they can let the mask fall off now that they’ve consolidated their control over the community. as was pointed out on mastodon, Determinate Systems previously promised this wasn’t their goal, which goes to show how much a promise from a fascist is worth.

fortunately it seems like Lix has a NixOS fork on the horizon? I only know about it because the “just fork it or shut up” assholes are now complaining that a fork’s happening (which they seem to only know about by obsessively monitoring Lix’s git forge — I don’t think there’s been an announcement yet)

ask your big brother what it’s like to be ejected from an Internet forum for being an absolute shithead

YOU ~wouldn’t~

shoplift a ~WEBSITE~

brb banning David from the awful.systems plugin repo, modifying the login page so everyone has to swear they don’t know him, and launching a lawsuit for (throws a dart at a dartboard) uhh shoplifting, he shoplifted my website

like a good developer, I made my personal preference the default (and I think when we started there were major issues with switching themes?)

that’s almost certainly the plan — I remember there was some horrific “proof of humanity” shit tied in with this, supposedly so that you could tell if you’re interacting with a human rather than a chatbot. there’s so many problems with that technically of course, not least of which is the chatbot guy also owning the proof of not-bot, but there’s deeper horrifying implications: this is the technology conservatives have been begging for to block access to “adult sites” (see: LGBTQ+ spaces and associates) and “protect voting” (see: purge voter registries). that the technology is fucking stupid and doesn’t work doesn’t matter to them — as always with technofascism, that’s a feature.

That’s amazing, I wish I had that kind of discipline to learn!

I can’t decide what’s worse: the fucking insulting tone that sounds like I’m about to get a pamphlet about Joseph Smith or GameStop or some shit, or that the suggestions just make up opinions you don’t have and events that didn’t happen

it’s weird that Enron of all things was the line for them

my hobbies include instance administration and exploding out of my tomb, cursing whoever disturbed my skeletal remains (usually a cat)

it’s a really weird week for them to do this, as my spinal column has decided to finally, painfully turn into dust

christ alfucking mighty all your posts are this boring

and since that “counterargument” shit means you definitely didn’t read the sidebar, off you fuck, debatebro
