@fivetonsflax good job not driving drunk sometimes. You can officially say you are slightly better than most.
Disabled people have been warning for years that the pandemic response (or lack thereof) was going to lead to fascism.
We begged you to wear a mask. To fight for clean air. To refuse to toss “the vulnerable” aside just because you wanted to go “back to normal”.
We are one of the first groups targeted by fascist regimes. We fight for survival every single day under a capitalist system that assigns value based solely on economic contribution.
Include us in resistance efforts. We can help. We are survivors.
@fivetonsflax @AnarchoNinaWrites @mhoye I remember the last five years. People refusing to mask because they just want it to be over. And killing millions that didn't have to die and disabling more.
You people sound just like your parents when smoking was banned inside or seatbelts became required. Or more aptly drunk driving became looked down on.
Go tell servo your opinions on llm's
@servo the use of ai will piss a lot of people off myself included. This isnt a personal preference issue. Its a moral and quality control issue. If servo starts using and pushing LLM ai, I won't be using it and will tell others not to contribute or use it.
I see the same kind of criticism aimed at Asahi Linux and Chrultrabook, "Why bother supporting Linux on this hardware, just stop buying bad laptops"
Not supporting Linux on Apple Silicon or Chromebooks, won't at all slow down the sales of these devices, but what it does do is give these devices the ability to have a second life once they've gone EOL saving at least some of them from going straight into e-waste
"Before 1914, the earth had belonged to all. People went where they wished and stayed as long as they pleased. There were no permits, no visas, and it always gives me pleasure to astonish the young by telling them that before 1914, I travelled from Europe to India and America without a passport and without ever having seen one."
-Stefan Zweig
Borders as we know them are a recent concoction.
The passport system as we know it dates to the First World War. ICE was founded in 2003 as part of the so-called "War on Terror," a disaster for freedom in every way.
These institutions are neither timeless nor beneficial nor inevitable.
If you grow english ivy on Turtle Island, even indoors and even if you promise to "keep it contained", what you're really doing is signing me up to spend my whole weekend on my hands and knees doing backbreaking labour instead of what I really want to be doing which is bullying local police officers
Re Microsoft win 10 machines.
Don't believe Microsoft
"because they can’t be upgraded to a supported OS there will not be the normal secondary market for those buying new hardware. This means there’s no boon for charities or other good causes, and instead this is a recycling or landfill choice.
This is criminal.
Recycle to Linux.
