Hitler wasn’t very smart either. Still did tremendous damage.

WTF is a BDSM disc? Some kind of kink thing?

Very true, count dongulus.

I remember 10 years or so ago working with a guy who was trying to sell me on the wonders of Eclipse. “It writes all this boilerplate for you!” I was more interested in writing in languages that were less shit and required less boilerplate.

ML breaks this defense

Because all the linux distros for mobile are steaming piles of horse shit.

I remember being in LA during the Rodney King Riots in 1992. White people (especially privileged leftists) were all clutching their pearls, wondering why black folks were attacking their innocent Korean merchant neighbors and dragging random white people out of their cars and beating them, instead of going to rich people’s neighborhoods and attacking them, or attacking the systems of oppression. Clearly these white folks did not understand how oppression works.

When you’re the victim of random violence, and have reached your breaking point, and don’t know what else to do, you respond with random violence, against whatever and whomever is nearby.

Black folks in Compton had no way to get to the racist white power structure. It was insulated from their rage.

Can XR act against Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk? The board of Exxon? No way, they’re not accessible. So they attack whatever they can reach. The world is burning and they’re pissed off. Their targets may or may not make sense strategically. They aren’t trying to influence people or win friends. They’re just infuriated. Know the difference, try to understand with empathy.

I was in Junior High when Pink Floyd’s The Wall came out.

Some dipshit scrawled 'WE DON’T NEED NO EDUCTION" on a desk in the library. Spelled like that.

I wrote under it “Yes, you do.”,

Paywalls are broken. Can’t read the article

The EFF article doesn’t mention or even imply any nefarious conspiracy. The bigger dangers it warns of are the usual suspects: sloppiness, carelessness, laziness, and deference to bad actors

Tell that to Starbucks. Already doing it

I’m sure it’s good and she seems legit, but I fucking hate videos. A blog post I could scan and read so much faster, as well as judge its legitimacy in seconds instead of having to invest minutes of my life.

It’s worse than that. If we degrowthed and decarbonized fast enough to stop global warming, billons of people will die. If we continue to do nothing or weak sauce half measures to stop global warming, billions of people will die.

We are fucked either way now.
