Starting to get a bit aggressive, I think 🤔

In memory of Manuel "Tortuguita" Paez Terán, who was assassinated by Georgia State Patrol two years ago today. Tortuguita was a nonbinary Indigenous Venezuelan anarchist who relocated to the U.S. and lived in Tallahassee, FL, among other places, before living in the Weelaunee Forest just south of Atlanta where the city planned to build a $90 million police training compound. They were committed to seeing Cop City stopped, and they put their beliefs into practice.

The solution to massive social networks that can be taken over, ran by massive cunts, become unfathomably capitalist hellscapes, breeding grounds for fascism blah blah blah, isn't "I'll built my own, and you'll love it because I am right, now I just need 30 million" or whatever, it's "we can work towards creating an ungovernable number of alternatives and seize the means of production"

give me my vaporwave Wikipedia right now.

joined rednote to watch all the hubbub and learn something and all the comment sections are just

Americans: Do you hate us 🥺

Chinese: No, we feel sorry for you, please come visit, most of us speak English but here’s all the Mandarin tutorials you could ever need.

Americans: I love you 😭

Chinese: Please start a revolution though.

"among the 19 million people who voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 but did not vote in 2024, nearly a third named Israel's U.S.-backed war on Gaza as a top reason for staying home."

29% of 19 million is 5.5 million

The popular vote margin was 2.3 million

Less than 300,000 votes across certain swing states could've changed the outcome

Whenever the US tries to propagandize you with a horror story about something other countries do, look around. We're doing it. It's just that "The Great Firewall Of America" isn't as catchy.

What you wrote in your health policy: “masks are encouraged but not required”

What I read: “Anti-maskers are welcome here. We wish the more vulnerable members of our community would just die and stop inconveniencing us.”

Always remember:

1. This ban happened because successive US Presidents Trump and Biden disliked the speech that was taking place on TikTok. No other reason.

2. Maybe you don't use TikTok. If the US Government can do this to TikTok, it can *and will* do it to whatever thing it is you like. This is true *even if the TikTok ban never goes into effect*. The U.S. now has a loaded, functioning weapon against free speech, and the next person who gets to use it is Donald Trump

fosdem leadership: "people are saying that we are giving the coinscam fascist guy a keynote because he is sponsoring us, but this is a vicious lie--we are giving him the keynote because we just really like what he has to say!"

biden, during his farewell address: “an oligarchy is starting to form”

@woe2you @dalias @altruios @tante Disclaimer: I say that working for an AI company. I get to see firsthand how utterly useless LLMs are at their job, whether it's commercially available ones or ones that we train on our own hardware. They can't even produce buggy code correctly. The only useful AI stuff we sell is bespoke tools designed and trained specifically for and with our clients' data. None of it is LLM based.
