I liked 7 and 2k.

melpomenesclevage , (edited )

Oh honey they don't understand art or culture or anything after this fiscal quarter. its all just widgets to them.

melpomenesclevage ,

fucking proprietary bullshit is an ecological nightmare, and that's why I think Tim cook deserves the wall.

melpomenesclevage ,

also, every day we only take a little.

and they're taking more than our money. they're literally burning our futures for their bullshit.

find their bunkers, sabotage everything you can.

or their houses, and be a little more sensible about it.

melpomenesclevage ,

yep. Facebook's still running strong, and that company has been a part of how many fucking genocides now?

melpomenesclevage ,

but curiously now is when it was acted on.

melpomenesclevage ,

pay for each Palestinian murdered, raped, or tortured.

melpomenesclevage ,

theres enough corruption to go around, dear. something can have more than one abhorrent cause.

melpomenesclevage ,

so they can do the death penalty on a company, they have a model

they just don't do it to Exxon or Facebook or Monsanto or...

melpomenesclevage ,

yeah... yeah I want my infrastructure hardware to have ridiculous names like that.

melpomenesclevage ,

okay but Nazis hate everything, and blame everything on 'The Jews'? just because they hate shitty liberal governments and blame them on 'The Jews' doesn't make them good.

melpomenesclevage ,

I would argue for illegalism here, but sure.

Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps (www.404media.co)

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or...

melpomenesclevage ,

that would just be instructions, wouldn't it?

melpomenesclevage ,

fuck the and their proprietary bullshit.

yeah I care as a tech nerd, that's real.

but as someone who wants a planet in 50 years: apple needs to fucking burn. right alongside Exxon.

melpomenesclevage ,

eh, who really suffered though?

melpomenesclevage ,

yes I just wiped with it after taking a particularly loose israeli

why, do you prefer bidets?

melpomenesclevage ,

there are no left authoritarians in office.

liberals are not leftists. haven't been since 1848.

melpomenesclevage ,

tankies killed all the communists, then got named tankies for still defending killing all the communists again.

melpomenesclevage , (edited )

yeah, see, you have to vote for Joe biden or you might get fascism. can't have that uncertainty of a third party fluke candidate winning.

melpomenesclevage ,

I disagree, why do you insist on associating libs with the left?

melpomenesclevage ,

are you... are you defending the original incident that lead to the term 'tankie'? impressive.

melpomenesclevage ,

fuck that dude about so much, but yeah, he wasnt wrong about everything.

that means anti armor and anti drone weapons, too!

melpomenesclevage ,

sorry when I hear about a name from that language family I I st assume. I ignore most soviet history and as much american history as I can because its stupid and can be summarized 'and then they figured out how to make even worse decisions! hooray!'

melpomenesclevage ,

cautionary? Turing and Minsky said this in the early 50s.

Lovelace said this a century before we ever built a computer

melpomenesclevage ,

oh do I need to watch that?

melpomenesclevage ,

seriously. or just say "America's gift to the world" and wave their dicks around over in house programmers adding it.

melpomenesclevage ,

its not cloak and dagger, its 'whatever you do, don't open the breaker box. you will die.'

melpomenesclevage ,

me?

okay so sometimes you need to run a twenty year old game made for another OS or cpu architecture

which.. weirdly, easier in Linux than win7; Linux has better backward compatibility with windows than windows. was like three clicks to install.

but sometimes that game uses broadcast UDP packets for LAN multiplayer.

and this is where our problem comes from, because broadcast UDP packets are deprecated, and also most modern routers don't love them, I don't think.

so, I needed to find a way to manually readdress outgoing UDP packets from broadcast to a specific set of multicast addresses, which...

also, some issues running USB as serial for some exotic peripherals. and by 'exotic' I mean 'I don't know for sure the PC is the problem; I might have soldered this wrong'.

also some issues in qubes, but that's literally all virtualization, and not a distro for anyone who hasn't both been using Linux for a while and considered the cost of making their apartment a Faraday cage.

a few issues with bare arch, which is the 'do everything from scratch 0 automation bleeding edge tech nerd, no, seriously you need to manually download a file system' distro. don't use arch if you don't know what youre doing.

melpomenesclevage ,

that was the conclusion I came to, yeah.

melpomenesclevage ,

no I'm saying weirdshit that made me fudge things in Linux. and I could. it was easy.

in windows my issues were all 'this isn't supposed to work, this isn't allowed' and I had to fight the system rather than finding the right config file and changing a couple lines.

so my windows problems were much simpler shit. things like getting the taskbar to to what I want, or getting windows to not explode on top edge of screen (literally a checkbox in KDE plasma)

melpomenesclevage ,

well you were just taking some time off after twitter. you had the money, and it was such an awful experience, you know? now youre just looking to get back into the job market. your therapist says you're ready

melpomenesclevage ,

the only thing Linux can't play is drm'd shit, and rootkit anti cheats. find a pirated version; bet it'll run.

melpomenesclevage ,

photoshop. AutoCAD.

melpomenesclevage ,

you don't own it til you pirate it.

if they wanted money, they wouldn't have added DRM.

melpomenesclevage , (edited )

I'll buy games. the thing is: I won't stop myself from enjoying it just because they don't want my money.

melpomenesclevage ,

I'm a little stricter. I do not buy shit with unacceptable DRM.

melpomenesclevage ,

I will, however, still play it if I can pirate.

melpomenesclevage ,

been hit before, not buying it. gonna be proactive about self defense.

melpomenesclevage ,

then you know destroying these fucking things is self defense.

melpomenesclevage ,

...burned out?

lots of versions of windows limit the amount of memory they recognize.

melpomenesclevage ,

its a fork of, downstream, tears out a bunch of the annoying shit and has different ux.

melpomenesclevage ,

try cinnamon with mint on a 'live USB' so you can try before installing. and see if your ram is broken, or if windows is fucking you for cheaping out on the license.

melpomenesclevage ,

oh yeah that could happen, but just to be sure...

melpomenesclevage ,

and in San Francisco, even!

melpomenesclevage ,

well aero was pretty, and the age of empires games were fun.

melpomenesclevage ,

also, Linux is better at that kind of utility task.

melpomenesclevage ,

if its only a dick joke in German, they come off as way more competent in English.

corporations are not people. I don't give a shit about their "rights", I don't give a shit about their dignity, abd I don't give a shit about their assets. why the fuck do you? do you tjinkgoogle gives a shit about your 'rights '? dignity? assets? are you high?

they are doing bad things and need to he stopped.they aren't people, they do not have feelings, and there is no moral harm from doing anything to one. all is permitted, barring collateral damage, which might be permitted.

there is a moral good in stopping them from doing a bad thing. in making them less efficient at doing the bad thing.

them doing bad thing is bad. there aren't rules-not for them; I think this is pretty well established. there is no 'allowed' or 'disallowed' if the rules only apply to one party. your rules-as-substitute-for-morality shit completely breaks down outside a bourgeoise white mid 20th century context; these days its just victim blaming gaslighting bullshit and everybody knows it.
