• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨politicians who say "tough choices" are rarely effected by consequences⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Bobby Kennedy, when campaigning, was heckled many, many times by people wanting to know “who was going to pay” for all of his social safety net plans.

  And he had the balls to say: “You are.”

  If we ever get a Mamdani type within sniffing distance of the presidency, I hate to think it, but expect they’d meet the same end Bobby did.

  I would like to kindly invite this person to lodge their head in a deeply recessed part of their own anatomy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Cops Frequently Got Caught Planting Drugs in 2017 | Look. All technology comes with a learning curve.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d love that, but I don’t think (at least here in the US) that there will ever be a meaningful change to how killer cops are managed legally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Cops Frequently Got Caught Planting Drugs in 2017 | Look. All technology comes with a learning curve.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There are only two ways to fix this that I see:

  • Settlements need to be paid out of the cops’ pension fund.
  • Send more cops to prison.

  Neither of which the US is going to do, because here, the cops and law enforcement are a civic religion. Therefore the best most Americans can do is keep their heads down and avoid the bastards as best you can manage.

  My brave browser still blocks everything. Very pleased.

  No shit, Sherlock.

  This is why I am glad that social media is slowly becoming age gated in other countries.

  Absolutely, especially when other capitalist countries are doing universal health care and college.

  If nothing else, go on record for posterity.

  The registration and comment system is, unfortunately, a little cumbersome to use, but I encourage you all to take a few minutes today and submit a public comment if you can. Maybe mention Musk’s many failures and broken promises, and how you don’t want him to be able to integrate his companies further into our governing infrastructure.

  That’s an excellent analogy. Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The rise of Moltbook suggests viral AI prompts may be the next big security threat⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, they did. I got something like 25% more than the Presidents Day sale and free delivery.

  It wasn’t $1 crazy, but it was pretty clear to me the chatbot wasn’t programmed particularly well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The rise of Moltbook suggests viral AI prompts may be the next big security threat⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They will, unfortunately, be radicalized by AI slop in ways we can’t currently conceive of. The stupidity and ignorance will be a huge problem in decades to come.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The rise of Moltbook suggests viral AI prompts may be the next big security threat⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually got a sick discount from Mattress Firm a few years ago just by asking their chatbot if it could give me a better deal on a mattress I wanted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The rise of Moltbook suggests viral AI prompts may be the next big security threat⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  By definition, having one’s life automated means not knowing how to do anything, and that is very strongly reflected in the younger generation right now if you know any educators.

  It’s not the life for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that everything the New York Times about Donald Trump actually happened⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly.

  What Donald is doing has always occurred. It’s just been better hidden, and he doesn’t care to hide any of it. The corruption we’re seeing now is only new if you’ve never cracked open a history book.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that everything the New York Times about Donald Trump actually happened⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup.

  Reminds me of the time everyone was excited about Joe Biden and I (rightly) predicted that for the vast majority of Americans, your lives were about to get vastly more expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You won: Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shift⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Consumers cannot trust Microslop.

  If you haven’t already, download and keep O&O ShutUp on your PC if you’re having to use Windows and run it regularly, because Windows updates will roll back any changes you’ve made to its invasive settings. It will also help you delete Copilot off your PC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an article about Microslop, and therefore, a good place to mention that if you’re stuck using Windows for whatever reason, O&O ShutUp will help you turn off its invasive features and delete Copilot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mamdani to kill the NYC AI chatbot caught telling businesses to break the law— New York mayor says terminating the ‘unusable’ bot will help close a budget gap⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wild that a politician deciding to terminate an application (and its associated contract) because the application doesn’t actually work as intended seems so odd.

  But I like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta burned $19 billion on VR last year, and 2026 won’t be any better | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not shocking.

  I got a headset two years ago and enjoyed it for about six months. As cool as it is, there just isn’t enough good content for it to maintain a long-term strategy.

  But the VR documentaries were worth every penny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some ways to fight for socialism from the comfort of your room?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t necessarily have to use the word ‘socialism’ to support socialist policies, so that could work.

  And yes, while there are smaller platforms like Peertube, they’re just not widely used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some ways to fight for socialism from the comfort of your room?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The ones that come to my mind are:

  • 1. Donate to socialist groups and causes, especially ones based in your local community. (Food banks, libraries, arts organizations, community legal funds, or individual mutual aid requests.)
  • 2. You can phone bank for socialist politicians in order to help them get elected. You don’t have to be a local to do this. I recommend Kat Abughazaleh.
  • 3. If you have a skill that can be used remotely from within the home, consider volunteering it to socialist organizations.
  • 4. You can create socialist content, but understand that your stuff is going to be algorithmically-repressed to some degree on any corporate-owned social media.

  On the plus side, we have so, so many billionaires. Like a few thousand.

  So, worth it?
