I’m so tired of every job posting frothing at the mouth over AI. “We’re ai native” , “we want employees who are excited about ai tools”, “agenic workflows”

Just fuck off.

Even if all of this stuff was a real productivity increase, who is keeping that extra production? Not the workers!

I see a lot of ads for ai slop on the subway and I refuse to engage with them. I don’t look them up. Fuck 'em.

Sometimes people vandalize them and if I saw someone doing so, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

I use nano for quick edits. I don’t know more than the basics of vim, and don’t do a lot of editing on the terminal so I haven’t needed to.

Another way I’m a little insufferable but like… yeah the pandemic and quarantine sucked, but I read a lot of books, played a lot of video games, had a great online DND game.

Some people just seem so helpless and inept. They’d be like “I just need to see other people” and I’m like please develop some discipline.

Cars (well, the car-first infrastructure in most of the US) is already a pretty effective forment nexus.

Cool. Fuck cars. Take transit in NYC.

They could pay people to check, but it’s more important that they spend billions on slop and executive bonus.

Fuck Spotify. I’ll buy albums (drm free, mostly from Bandcamp), pirate, or go without.

Today is bandcamp Friday, too. Bandcamp passes their cut on to the band.

It’s kind of funny that because most of us are nice, no one just beat the shit out of trump or worse. Assholes are kind of like parasites taking advantage of kindness.

I feel a little guilty by not skipping work entirely, but I have the legal minimum of paid time off. So I’m technically on the clock, but I’m not doing any work.

Sometimes I make a conscious effort to think about what I would say to someone else in my situation. It’s helpful.

I assume management is free to do what they want with their phones, so they can fuck all the way off.

People are lazy and don’t think very much. Spotify is right there.

Also enshittification: it was better to draw people in, and then they made it shittier and people stay

I buy music (mostly from Bandcamp). Now I have a big library and no subscription fee.

I learned in my youth not to read reviews of things I like. It’s unpleasant and pointless to read someone savaging your favorite albums or books.

(More critical analysis can be fine, but regular Internet reviews are not so worthwhile)

In-group to protect, out-group to bind. That’s all.

Fuck is with these conservative losers jumping on the kings dick like pathetic fangirls?

The only thing driving conservatives is “in-group good, out-group bad”. There is no internal consistency beyond that. They’re the worst sort of people.

I’m really surprised no italian plumbers visited Ross after it became clear there would be no official justice.

Being ruled by the UK would probably be an improvement

Reminded of when Thanos says “you should have gone for the head”
