This is because the EU is a neoliberal institution. They still represent capitalism over people, just less so than the vulture capitalism that America or poorer countries accept.
- Comment on Tech Workers Maxed Out Their A.I. Use. Now They’re Trying to Minimize It. 5 days ago:
It’s honestly amazing if used correctly. Having to remember awk, sed, etc, the exact syntax, idiosyncrasies across OS’s, was always a pain the ass for me. It often makes mistakes, but less than I do trying to customize solutions from the internet. I get a better result much quicker.
My concerns with unsupervised learning statistical models have never been about the tech. It’s always been about capitalism and how the psychopaths in charge would wield it.
- Comment on Google will now verify if you're a human by turning on your webcam and asking you to wave your hand 6 days ago:
Yep. If the web requires ID to do anything I will only use it for banking and shit I already give my ID to. For everything else I’ll just pirate, or use tor/I2P until they lock me up.
All these fascist criminal pedophiles that want to control us can suck a big fat bag of dicks.

The corporate fascist dictatorship is converting surveillance capitalism into big brother before our very eyes.
- Comment on Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs 8 months ago:
That’s the point. De-anonymize everyone for surveillance capitalism.
The “think of the children” argument should never be taken in good faith. It’s a trojan horse for authoritarians to destroy your rights.

- Comment on New Arizona law to restrict online porn access; Pornhub will block state 8 months ago:
She is acting on behalf of lobbyists. That’s how America got to this stage. Lobbyist lawyers and marketers write laws that benefit them, and they “donate” to politicians to pass that legislation.
The only politicians who actually read anything they vote on are leftists like Bernie and AOC; everyone else is doing what their financiers tell them to do.
- Comment on Google deletes net-zero pledge from sustainability website 9 months ago:
We won’t stop burning fossil fuels until it’s illegal and militaries use force to destroy all extraction facilities, just like we won’t reduce our plastic consumption until it’s heavily restricted.
I’ve believed that for 20 years, and I believe it now more than ever. We’re decades away from either being a foreseeable course of action.

“Browser, like from the video games?”
- Comment on Bluesky now platform of choice for science community 9 months ago:
Why is all of scientific research locked behind paywalls instead of some open source scientist-built system?
Because like most people, they’re just trying to get by with the least amount of effort. Structural change is hard and risky.

- Comment on It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes 10 months ago:
Not necessarily. It would do better than current excel, but that’s a low bar… but it would also introduce less reliability / more randomness in date conversions, which is not what any business wants.
- Comment on India bans streaming apps you’ve never heard of — but millions watch 10 months ago:
There are similar forces at work everywhere.

- Comment on Amazon Doubles Prime Video Ads to 6 Minutes Per Hour 1 year ago:
I’ve only ever used Prime whenever they offer it free or with a cheaper delivery than it costs.
Last time it started showing ads, so I just pirated everything I wanted to watch. I won’t even use it for free anymore, lol.

- Comment on Meta could take a $7 billion hit this year because of Trump's tough China tariffs 1 year ago:
Don’t get fooled by the oligarch-owned media. The wealthiest individuals will benefit the most.
Fascism is a fusion of corporation and state (e.g. state-capitalism, like China). The next few years will likely see the largest transfer of wealth in history, and the S&P 500 will consolidate from an ownership of 200 separate conglomerates to 20-50 (example only. not real figures).
- Comment on Elon Musk Cuts Funding for Internet Archive 1 year ago:
They need to federate and decentralize with some sort of p2p protocol, so anyone can donate their spare hard drives for additional redundancy. Seeing up shop in any jurisdiction is a single point of failure.
