Using basic ass text files is underrated

I wished more media was writing not just about how the "AI" buildout increases prices but actively bars people from building their own independent infrastructures. "AI" is not just poisoning the infosphere but taking away your ability to build alternatives.

I need to be more careful with voice to text - it apparently has not gone past a 5th grade education

I have a hard time with hiding the fact I don't like someone. Once I figure out someone is a POS it is impossible for me to be personable with them. I'll be politeish, ask em if they're ok when they get hurt, but everyone can tell. wondering if it's a problem I need to really fix tho

www.huntress.com As if John Hammond's company huntress wasn't awesome enough, even the chatbot is good. I asked it about eventually working for a company like huntress thinking it would just point me to the careers pages and be done with it, but it actually gave a lot of good advice.

I swear to God where I live not having the emotional maturity of a 7-year-old get you treated like your neurodivergent around here

we live in a country where the secretary of HHS declaring that he snorts cocaine off toilet seats isn't even a news item

When you're dealing with harmful narcissists your best tool is education. I recommend people like Dr Ramani. It makes it so a lot of their techniques will just stop working on you and you can focus on getting rid of them or getting away from them. 1/2

For startups, it’s not that “the idea doesn’t matter,” of course it does. The point is that the idea is not 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩, and that all the rest of it is 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳, so it’s useful to focus on those other things. Specifically:

Have you ever wanted to see what a 9V battery looks like with the case taken off? Too bad now you’ve seen

youtu.be/HKEQKcwYuKo?... There's a lot of people in the #disability part of bluesky that need to see this. My best friend and I constantly joke about my autism not because he doesn't accept my autism but because he does.

I wish the comments hadn’t been turned off, but yeah. I love the repair manifesto

I wrote another substack thing! I bet the responses will be fun to this one. open.substack.com/pub/shelbyel...

I know this is a joke but recording people in public is legal. Idk I have just had too many people try to say its not so they don't get recorded being abusive narcissists. But to address these "manfluencers" - I would record them back and humiliate them.

I wish they hadn't turned off comments, but yeah I agree. Treating people who same something off as being just as racist or misogynist as a MAGAT with no in-between is really hurting the cause. And quite frankly, is bullying.

It sucks in the US that criticizing people of the same identity as you for taking part in anti-social behaviors gest you labelled as conservative/reactionary and therefore bad. It doesn't matter if you also hate Trump, want ICE gone, want to see roe V wade return etc etc etc This is purity politics

Mint: "We don't have hidden fees" yeah, you do.

It sucks that in my own goddamn place I’m living I have to carry around a phone in case my narcissistic housemate pull some bullshit where I have to record her. This is because she’s incapable of communicating in any way other than gaslighting. Thankfully, no one else can stand her either.

Let me make this clear- if you start following me and you're very clearly just doing it to promote your business, YouTube channel, or whatever I'm not going to follow you back. You need to have actual good Blue sky content

I'm getting to a point in my life where I am so goddamn tired of getting these open secret extra expectations because woman. I'm sure men have theirs too. Shit just shouldn't be based on gender. Call me a blue haired feminist or whatever. I'm too tired to care

Hedy Lamarr died #OTD in 2000 at 85. In the 1940s, in an attempt to help the war effort, she quietly invented what would become the precursor to many wireless technologies we use today including Bluetooth, GPS, cellphone networks & more: frequency hopping. #WomenInSTEM

I am so sick of the bullshit and idiocracy I deal with here in Appalachia, but I would still take it over Dublin and Powell Ohio any day. If you know you know

Wish they hadn't turned off the comments but at least there is reposts I would be curious as to the long term results of that script. With concise goal and small scope ai does well. It fits not replace engineers entirely though and also doesn't do large sprawling projects well.

I went to my local council meeting and so should you. Often more interesting than you think and only have reps of the retired and privileged. We need more young and more working class people going to these. Mine was exciting bc there is a power battle b/w two opposing councils. It's crazy.

¿Puede la gente de España decirme cómo está el mercado laboral de ciberseguridad allí?

I am probably never gonna watch Linus Tech tips again. Once I find out for sure you are underpaying employees while making bank yourself, that's kind of all I need to know. Some people will say I am not being fair but there are so many great up and coming channels that deserve attention. fuck em.

We have a LOT of Dems to replace. We can’t do it all in 1 voting cycle. I’m no expert, but it seems to me like our biggest personal payback will come from a LOCAL focus, supporting the state reps, Congresspeople & Senators WE ACTUALLY WANT instead of just shitting on the people who are there now.

I rent a room from a place and there is another tenant who is clearly a narcissist whose parents never said no. Been making everyone's life hell But they are actually getting blowback and consequences from ppl other than me and it's so satisfying.

historymatters.gmu.edu/d/6445/ It's unfortunate that the main ways you hear of the Black Panthers talked about nowadays is just to cherry pick their more militant arguments But digging deeper they were surprisingly pragmatic and community oriented. That's what we should take instead

I really wish people would be more willing to make waves in minimum wage jobs. I'm often the only one making noise but def not the only one fed up. People give away their power too easily. They often need people so they can't fire ppl if multiple speak up

I almost always feel dehydrated even though I feel like I drink a lot more water than most people (been tested for diabetes don't have it) I really hope it's just my body being confused and not that I'm actually dehydrated and will get kidney stones

"We knew it because of this one guy on twitter. And we are so sure that we turned off comments and quoted replies" If you are gonna make such accusations, defend them you fucking cowards.

I made my first substack post! (for my personal one). I am quite proud of my first post, even if it took far longer than it should of. But hey I guess it’s case in point. shelbyelzinga.substack.com/p/why-i-just...

I think a tough conversation we need to have is people using introversion as a cover for vulnerable narcissism (see link below). It's okay to want a lot of alone time. It's okay to not be very chatty in social situations and to ask to be alone. It's not okay to make everyone's life around you suck

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NosE... This is good video as it comes from a lawyer and explains the mess that is the immigration system, but he is the best advocate I have heard from what seems to be the right-of-center. Rmmber, understanding is not the same as agreeing.

We need everyone we can get in this fight against a fascist takeover. If your first instinct to someone being politically mobilized by all this is to give them a sneering "well, what took you so long?" you don't actually care about our winning this; you just want to be able to say you were right.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

One thing you can say about REFORM voters: they turn up. They may be voting for authoritarianism, but they vote. When Farage gains power, look first at the millions who stayed home. Non-voters enable authoritarianism and fascism. Never hasbit been more important to use your vote.

Hey retro console people stop turning off your comments I want to nerd out with you aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Holy s*** a post that is actually trying to find our allies in Congress instead of just dismissing Congress in one fell swoop as an excuse to do f*** all There are still politicians that do actually care about their constituents
