  Right they hate these straw people. I mean, I;m not going to say my own cognitive projection of “conservative” is 100% accurate, but at least my nightmare scenarios are about actual bad things happening, and not like conservative nightmares of genetically inferior people getting to enjoy the gifts of civilization.

  What?? I was not. I thought it was compatible, or like a fork idk… Guess I’ve got some reading to do.

  I’m checking out Graphene OS next week and pretty pumped about it. This Google ratfucking has been just the push I need to get off Android.

  And obviously I haven’t stopped telling people around me haha

  This comes up a lot, and the comments for these posts always get mired in the complexities of for whom and forwhence and forwhicontext this is good advice.

  Basically, there are people for whom this is really fire advice (like people who are unnecessarily repeating quirky aspects of their otherwise lovely personalities), and people for whom this is really bad advice (like people who need to stay hidden for safety, or jerks).

  Broad, overlapping categories with many dimensions. Not really something you can wrap up in a prescriptive axiom.

  Wrapped plastic - not fantastic.

  Everything’s got that wet toy sheen. Wow, so realistic. Much specular.

  Wow what a wretched collection of individuals. These assholes can’t all possibly be in agreement with each other — don’t you wonder if they aren’t given pause by some of the company they’re stacked next to?

  Like if I was giving a speech somewhere and Elon Musk, for example, had just delivered his I’d start to suspect I wasn’t on the right side of things, let alone in the best of company…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sensing a pattern.

  No but seriously, the psychopathic allure of leadership (Forbes, sry just the first link I found) is leading to civilization scale decisions which are 1) out of sync with what a reasonable person wants, 2) counter to general human flourishing.

  Tech leadership wants us to worry about potential ethical “alignment issues” with a theoretical AGI, but we’re already in crisis if those leading us don’t share our basic human values.

  PS. I’m not trying to say psychopaths nonghuman. They’re the same species and probably as conscious as I am. I just don’t think they’re an apt choice to decide matters for humans who do have empathy. Imagine a chef with no sense of taste running a restaurant kind of deal.

  You’re speculating that an internet wouldn’t have emerged without capitalism. Capitalism exists, therefore we can’t know if that’s true or not.

  I worked at a place that had self-hosted git and IRC for internal messaging. Was great!
