The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

When confronted with the cruelty and wanton destruction wrought by the US military, saying "no, you see, they did it for personal socioeconomic benefit" is not the epic defense of soldiers' ethical and humanitarian integrity that you think it is.

I am once again saying that the healthiest thing we can do for the internet is get as many people as possible hosting their own websites, and this time I am pointing you toward a project that is aligned with that mission AND is fundamentally & financially pro-trans and pro-queer. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Gonna start a lot of fights saying this but I think it's interesting how the sort of communism popular in unstable imperial cores tends towards the worker claiming their right to the mishandled riches of said empire rather than the explicit dismantling of oppressive social power structures

"one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this"

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Every ad now

every large institution and public sector organisation needs to do this

RAY TRACING IS A SCAM!!!! "yes i would like my framerate cut in half for marginally more realistic lighting" <--- statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged wanted more realistic lighting anyways for a treat?? we already had tools for that that dont require 200 extra watts of power!!!!

If you ever fall in love with an arcade game that doesn't fit into one of the small handful of existing big genres, prepare to spend the rest of your days being frustrated about the fact that nobody will ever make a successor to it or develop it in any way

made a zine last month about the bus !!!! I love the bus!! 🚌 (1/2)

I’m bored… maybe I’ll go destroy a planet

Controversial statement here but you're allowed to be a girl! You might even like it more than what you are now! Much to consider.

If you put emojis in filenames, I think less of you as a person.

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

I only just put two and two together- Light mode UI themes serve an actual utility in that they improve contrast and visibility outdoors and in bright rooms, allowing you to have your backlight turned down lower than with dark colors while still being readable

technology that makes people more productive is inherently used to perpetuate capitalism, that’s why I make videogames, technology that makes people less productive

Our leading news organizations turned a cache of ultimately-innocuous emails into a scandal-coded weeklong series of front page stories leading into the 2016 election. If they do not cover the "emails from notorious pedophile implication the President" emails with the same fervor, it's curious!

if everything is full of ads, you are full of ads if everything is full of ai, you are full of ai you are what you consume, consumes what you are #enshittification

I really wish things in gaming didn't suck this hard right now. Companies openly or secretly using genAI, studios getting bought by shitty groups. Hell even some of your PC parts are made by the worst people. It blows, man.

CinemaSins Brain has infected so many people in the industry now, I swear If you’re this hung up on continuity for JAMES BOND of all characters, the perpetually 34 year old dude who’s fought steel teeth guys in space and already been rebooted at least once, your mind is a desert

10 years ago : blockchain is the future of banking. if you don't understand you're an idiot 5 years ago : you're a dumbass if you dont get in on the ground level of the nft-do-not-copy.jpg Now : you don't understand the stock market. NVIDIA can only grow until it's the only company in the world

Every physics unit feels like "degrees Celsius per Celsius"

Argentina is geology gore (this is extremely cool and good)

learn to solder.

we’re about to start seeing a lot of “here’s a cost effective meal your grandparents made during the great depression”

OSX and Windows desktop shitting the bed so fast the stream of shit is blueshifting

Every few weeks we gotta make posts like this”call your dem reps to tell them to not vote to allow Lord Killdude to shove people into a volcano” and then the dem reps go “we’ve made an amazing deal where Lord Killdude can have his volcano so long as he promises not to shove people into it”

I think that all of us need to talk about how the Blender Foundation is hinting at adding AI integration to Blender in the future. Right now it's little more than proposition in their new Labs project, but that's the best time to catch it and make sure it doesn't grow into a reality.

Let this strengthen our resolve and serve as a reminder that nobody in the democratic party leadership should be trusted and that every single one of those fuckwads is just as responsible for where we are now as the Republicans whose boots they're licking. Power rests with the people who grant it.

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

Futurama is a good show but goodness gracious the Native Martian thing is pretty racist and cheap, I didn't catch it watching as a kid but on reviewing, just, eugh.

“individual employees asked to change behavior in response to catastrophic mistakes made by their high-level leadership over the past 3-7 years” really feels like the overarching story of the current times

The government shutdown should continue for as long as necessary to hamstring fascists but at the same time it's incredibly important to do mutual aid to make up for the absence of needed government assistance. If you're in the US, give food and do volunteer work as much as possible.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

lol

in a dream just now i had a horrible premonition of things to come: a 21st century remake of The Blues Brothers where the cops are the good guys

KDE answers the question of "what if Windows Vista was actually good and fun and just a bit silly"

If superelevated track is so great then why don't they do it on straight sections too

New comic on www.eggbeater.net :3

malware!! I forgot about that word! good time to resurface

If you’re a business leader who thinks the highest possible ROI use of your time is a whinging session about the “Zohran situation” in the middle of the working day then I think your business would be more successful without you

reminder to all my trans friends that a man who campaigned with this much support and love for us just destroyed the most machine politician to ever exist in spite of all odds. turns out vocally caring about us is a winning strategy!!
