People who say things like "billionaires are human too" or "acab is discrimination" tend to conflate having innate traits and what they actually do.

Sure musk is human, but he's also a nazi and unapologetically built his wealth on the suffering of others. Sure cops are human, but they also enforce and protect (violently) the most oppressive institutions we suffer from.

My respect for all life only go so far. Fuck them.

me: okay the redesign’s finally done, almost time to relaunch my unions book

also me: okay but what if you add a new chapter at the end and it’s just one page with

@droidboy Oh so many reasons why:

- Purport to protect privacy while existing due to half a billion dollars a year from Google.

- Jump on every fucking Silicon Valley bandwagon/grift from cryptocurrency to Metaverse to AI (to their credit, they skipped NFTs afaik)

- For being a not for profit that owns a for-profit and paying their CEO $7M while having the audacity to hit people up for donations.

Or, as their then head of public policy once told me at a conference we were both speaking at while asking me to go easy on them: “I don’t understand why you’re holding us to such a higher standard; we’re just another Silicon Valley tech company.”

It’s true. But that’s not what you tell people, is it, Mozilla?

(And there’s no such as “trustworthy AI” — at least insofar as LLMs are concerned. These are statistically plausible bullshit generators.)

I hate weather sites. Most are full of ads and take 30-60 seconds to just show "rain this afternoon". Can I walk at 12? 2? Load another page to read an hourly numbers table. So anyway, my 2024 Christmas break project: load in ~1s and graphically see when the cold front hits. Simple, but shows more, faster, higher-res, and more interactively than the NWS graph while using their API's. Oh and dark mode.
