@s@piefed.world is saying it’s time for us who see this problem for what it is to shift tactics and see who follows
- Comment on Peter Thiel’s bestie going mask off 1 week ago:
A n*gger is a race neutral term nowadays
no. no it’s not. people know its origins and who it’s referring to. to deny this is a form of sealioning. fqck off with that
It essentially means someone that takes far more than they will ever contribute, and in that respect, he’s absolutely correct
attaching this meaning to it is a form of dog whistle to get people to associate these traits with plack people. you are doing the propaganda work of white supremacy right now.

- Comment on Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg writes a manifesto on bringing "personal superintelligence" to everyone to improve humanity, but doesn't even define what superintelligence means. 1 week ago:
okay. his background in CS remains a couple of classes before dropping out. i graduated from college around when he would have and this was every fucking CS major their freshman year. he talks about programming the same way every revolutionary code messiah who had coded some mildly impressive utilities does before they spend time studying the theory behind computation and learn what the real limitations of these things are. but VCs love the code messiahs. hence SVB going bankrupt. none of these dudes are as smart as they’ve convinced the rest of the world they are
- Comment on AI Chatbots Remain Overconfident — Even When They’re Wrong: Large Language Models appear to be unaware of their own mistakes, prompting concerns about common uses for AI chatbots. 1 week ago:
they’re solid starting point for shopping now that wirecutter, slant, and others are enshittified. i hate it and it makes me feel dirty to use, and you can’t just do whatever the llm says. but asking it for a list of options to then explore is currently the best way i’ve found to jump into things like outdoor basketball shoe options
- Comment on Hackers prove age verification systems on pornography sites can be bypassed in seconds 2 weeks ago:
if something behaves like a thing it is, in effect, that thing. the point of a system is what it does
- Comment on Switzerland plans surveillance worse than US 2 weeks ago:

this from the man who thinks microservices represent bloat and you can just turn them off
- Comment on “You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for” Donald Trump said 2 weeks ago:
the good ones ensure older verisons are still valid for their course work and only do annual editions because they’re contractually obligated by their publisher.
- Comment on “You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for” Donald Trump said 2 weeks ago:
it’s fine when the theft flows up the pyramid. it’s not fine when the theft is us stealing back what was always ours
- Comment on Pride rainbows taken off police cars after court ruling 3 weeks ago:
this is not what xenophobia is. thread starter is out of pocket, but the problem isn’t xenophobia. xenophobia would be if the thread starter said “every brit is a terf.” the thread starter did appropriately lay the blame at the feet of the imperial state, the UK. i take issue with “always” if you are approaching a situation with the attitude of something is always, you are giving up on the possibility of fixing it.
- Comment on Notion Desktop is monitoring your audio and network 3 weeks ago:
a note taking app shouldn’t spy on you like that. why is it doing this, and why should we accept it?
- Comment on Muppet 3 weeks ago:
i hate golf courses and its environmental impacts as much as the next guy, but calm down. the problem isn’t with the challenge of whacking a ball with a stick into a cup, the problem is the entire resort culture surrounding golf upon its introduction to the united states. you can even play a less impactful form of golf like disc golf and still care about scoring an albatross.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
shit like this is also how stonetoss finds new audience to attract to his overtly pro-fascist propaganda
- Comment on Valve are now removing a bunch of sex games from Steam to keep banks and card companies happy 3 weeks ago:
why do the banks and card companies even get a say? they’re just supposed to hold the money. i mean. i know they hold so much more that that and we’re just allowed occasionally to hold the money. but still. that they flaunt their power over us is annoying
- Comment on Russia suggests Trump is emboldening Ukraine, delaying peace 3 weeks ago:
emboldening the defending country? does russia not actually know how wars work? (this is a joke… kind of… i guess i’m pointing out that what they’re saying is a joke? i don’t know. fuck the orks)
- Comment on Child rapist visits Prince Andrews brother. 3 weeks ago:
think of it this way. do you want power over someone else? because i don’t. i want to live my life in peace and enjoy the company of people i love and who love me. the powerful though? they’re addicted to power. and they want to experience power during sex to enhance the feeling of their orgasm. they are at the most powerful when the person they are fucking is a child.
does that make sense?
- Comment on 25% of young Americans aged 18 to 24 eat every meal alone—'a virtual doubling of what it was two decades ago,' expert says 3 weeks ago:
in what way? food is a social connection to culture, and meals are cultural participation. i see this and i hear that people are more isolated than they’ve ever been before, making solving our problems harder and everyone easier to manipulate

- Comment on How to turn off Gemini on Android — and why you should 4 weeks ago:
it would be great to have a non-ml degoogle comm. but then i’m also not willing to put in the work to moderate right now so maybe i’m a whiny asshole
- Comment on How are you doing fellow kids 4 weeks ago:
you don’t have to imagine. their propaganda posters should genuinely be thought of as being memes. every poster is a meme that the people gluing up hope will influence the general sentiment of the people around them. internet memes are not truly new. there are merely the most common form of propaganda detritus in our current age. in the 20s-90s, this was the poster and the street tag
- Comment on Trump Team Has Full Meltdown Over CNN Story on ICE-Tracking App 5 weeks ago:
i don’t think this other commenter was calling you out. i think they were just bringing up a point of discussion that’s relevant to the point you brought up
- Comment on What Does a Post-Google Internet Look Like 5 weeks ago:
forking doesn’t really help with the underlying problem that docker is a layer to run on top of Linux’s KVM. at a certain point though, it’s become standard enough though that BSD not having a good way to support docker, or any other CRI containerization service for that matter, is a BSD failure, not a containerization failure
- Comment on Ted Cruz's plan to punish states that regulate AI shot down in 99-1 vote 5 weeks ago:
states’ rights to opress people was the full thought

ALL cops are bastards. it’s not a uniquely american problem, but rather a problem with the entire model of community safety employed in domination cultures
- Comment on I wonder if sharing movies over BitTorrent is legal as several neural networks are there as well, and they learn from the movies being shared. 2 months ago:
the problem isn’t the existance of ip law. the problem is the double standard created by a system that says when we take from them that’s not allowed, but when they take from us that’s fine. someday i want us to get to where shared ownership of the commons works, but to get there we have to remove the vampires who have stolen the commons from us
- Comment on Telegram partners with xAI to bring Grok to over a billion users 2 months ago:
by my experience mostly straight eastern europeans. everyone else either started on something else or they moved off telegram because they didn’t feel like they could trust it
