The Creator Program wasn’t just a feature, it was a full blown movement that rocked Reddit, on the blockchain no less. You all built communities. You created art. Your art became memes. You put a cone on it. You even got paid (a first!). At the end of the day, you all made magic.

Laugh.

Your continue in the same style and doubling down on victim-hood polemics.

Of course free speech includes a variety of viewpoints.

I am pointing out that “FreedomAdvocate” has a comically preformative view on free speech. Rejecting people who use the slur “tranny” is not a free speech issue and shows that FA doesn’t actually care or believe in free speech.

It’s all theatrics to try and show how allegedly independent he is and how is an alleged free thinker.

Embarrassing really.

It’s funny how the most loud free speech warriors have the most superficial, performative understanding of free speech.

People get beat up by security services in authoritian regimes for reporting on corruption, but for “FreedomAdvocate” here, free speech is about the right to use slurs on Discord.

There is almost an abstract beauty to this level of debasement and regressivness.

assume everyone has the same political opinions as you

I don’t think that’s the issue here. You can be conservative and not support the “great replacement theory” or think that all muslims are bad.

I might be wrong, I am just going by the sources posting in the Framework forum thread.

I am being an edgelord and I am going to call them Hyperland.

Sure, but it’s typically done in a more subtle and PR friendly manner.

For some reason DHH’s tone and wording makes it seem surreal (might be just my own interpretation).

The DHH fellow almost seems like an elaborate parody. Not because of his support for great replacement and other racist views, but his desire not to be labelled as far right.

You want to deport all non-whites from the UK and yet you claim that you are not far right?

Seems surreal, it’s like a parody of a far right extremist.

Hyperland sounds more like edgelords.

The DHH fellow is a full on Nazi-style racist.

I still think personal responsibility (as outlined in my post above) is a far better option that a fine.

A fine is the cost of business. I don’t think a senior Deloitte partner or manager would like to do a 6 month mandatory de-mining community service program (Australia can send them to my country, Ukraine, as part of a community service exchange program).

And a partial refund at that.

Better option would be to require the senior Deloitte partners and managers to do real community service program (live-in junior janitor at homeless shelter or a hospice) for 6 months (with an asset freeze for the duration of community service).

Trying do a URL lookup at archive.fo. For Wired there is very likely an archived copy.

Well, they clearly have too much money

They may have a lot of money, but they definitely don’t have anything close to a reasonable return on investment. I believe the total revenues from “AI services” are sub $50 billion per year compared to at least x20 times capex and likely a very high amount of opex (hundreds of billion) per year.

Keep in mind the original X Elite benchmarks were never replicated in real world devices (not even close).

They used a desktop style device (with intense cooling that is not possible with laptops) and “developed solely for benchmarking” version of Linux (to this day X Elite runs like shit in Linux).

This is almost certainly a premeditated attempt at “legal false advertising”.

Mark my words, you’ll never see 4,000 points in GB6 ST on any real products.

Yeah, a mandatory work phone (where the employer can define requirements) should be purchased and funded by the employer.

Ah, yeah forgot about that one.

That wasn’t the glasses though, it was his eyes/cameras.

But makes sense.

The keynote was to feature the Ray-Ban Meta Display, the latest version of what is essentially a face-mounted iPhone – ideal for the consumer who lacks the energy to pull a device from their pocket and idolizes both Buddy Holly and the Terminator.

What does Terminator have to do with any of this? Did they add the reference because Schwarzenegger wears sunglasses in the movies?

Now they need to be forced to remove the stupid 60 day login requirement and extend the support window to October 2028 (no new work will be required from MS since the fixes would have been made anyway).

Agreed, the ramp-up is the hardest part on some level.

This might be due to the benefit of hindsight, but when the vector of protests seems to be accelerating, there is a genuine sense of energy in the air, like history being made in front your eyes (and with your participation).

I think there are also pragmatic reasons for this. Oligarchs and senior business community leader can start trying to hedge their bets or try to get an “edge” on the oligarchs who are firmly on the side of the regime. They want to get in early and not lose in the game of musical chairs so to speak.

Commoners too are influenced by the situation. People with marginal support for the regime start changing their views. No one wants to risk social ostracization and potential reputational damage.

People with moderate support for protesters can be influenced by severe actions from the regime and they become less open to compromise and supportive of direct action (in Ukraine this was the killing of protesters, that arguably radicalized much of the population, people now believed that Yanukovich must go).
