@bruces Those digital upload people are unrealistically confident that their consciousnesses will be backed up and restored religiously and not left to rot like an old film reel.

@bonkers@nerdculture.de @nixCraft@mastodon.social I wasn't allowed to rent a house without an email, two different phone apps, uploading my ID to some random company, a credit check, and 'accepting' payment provider marketing terms. The days of offline living are dead in the USA.

@cvwarren@m.ai6yr.org @baardhaveland@snabelen.no @obucate@bildung.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr This is why we can't have nice things. Used to be when tech in a car got obsolete, you could get aftermarket replacements, or at the very least, a nice cassette tape adapter to plug your MP3 player into your car.

@is0ph @steinarb It is like riding a bike. The first few will be a bit rough, but the skill comes back. See also: Memorizing phone numbers.

@lokeloski@mastodon.social AI generation is a useful facimile in a place where nothing would have also been a more or less acceptable alternative. Which begs the question as to why we're wasting so much money on it.

@Tamtam @phantanews @pluralistic Thus, men must stop being feminism-rejecting assholes, tear down the patriarchy, and reciprocate said services. Anarchy: No Archy. No monarchy, no oligarchy, no patriarchy, no hierarchy. Anarcho-communism is utopian, and anarcho-capitalism is a paradox. Socialism is the path forward. The great lie is that communism is incompatible with democracy.

@firephoto@mastodon.social Probably dandelions.They are one of the earliest nectar sources, and people spraying poison on them is a likely cause of the beepocolypse.
