mastodon 4.6.8Gen X goblin cheese enjoyer in the Fascist States of America.
Fascists, TERFs, bigots, religious proselytizers, and AI boosters are unwelcome. I also have a low tolerance for ML/MLM authcoms, liberals, and statist apologists.

@haubles He should not be advising any aspect of Mastodon development. I hope you kick him to the curb and find others who align with Fediverse ideals, not FAANG and startup culture.
In my quest for a #Discord alternative for my gaming group, I'm going to toss #Matrix into the bin of "nope". It ticks most of the boxes, but holy fucking hell the constant nagging to revalidate every fucking login is not going to fly. None of my friends are going to tolerate that shit just to talk about #TTRPG scheduling, campaign planning, and general life events. Intensely user-hostile.
Look, the only reason I support open source licensing at all is because we are forced to exist under capitalism. All forms of intellectual property ONLY make sense to protect workers under capitalism, and even then the courts and megacorps have made sure that copyright law blatantly protects them, not us.
The problem is fucking capitalism, get rid of that and we're on our way to not caring about who can take and use and modify "intellectual property". We can live in a world where people laugh at the very idea of owning ideas.

@cmccullough We really need at least one of the widely-used distros to take a stand.
RE: @sboots@mastodon.sboots.ca
This is good. I'm sharing it with coworkers since many of them know I'm very anti-AI, and this take isn't quite as confrontational as some others I might share (but get more pushback from).
I still can't get excited about a fascist nation's space program. Everything about this accomplishment is soured by everything going on here.

@cwebber There's always someone wanting to redirect what must be systemic change into individual responsibility. Why punch up when you can punch down and feel smug about it?

@tante @davidgerard Ooof. And for a while there Jay actually seemed like a decent human being. Everything about bsky is full of rot.

@evacide According to Gibson's "The Peripheral", that would be a Jackpot.
Ah, the nuance-wanters have entered the chat.

@cmccullough Have you looked at https://www.hetzner.com/ Not sure what qualifies as affordable or what your requirements are but I've been running small services there for a while.

@LionelMcOlivier It's the fascism and anti-human philosophies behind gen AI you love, isn't it? Be honest.

@mrtazz We're writing too much code. Less code. No, less than that. Take some back.

@Adrenochrome It'd be great if gen AI shit like this wasn't everywhere, thanks.

@blogdiva Hmm. I'm not putting anyone on the left that wants to preserve any aspect of capitalism. They're at best center.
Palantir must be destroyed and everyone involved driven from society and brought up on crimes against humanity. This screed is 100% fascist garbage.

@stux I definitely won't be knocking over every single one of these things I see.
