Can I have it? I’d never buy one but I use Spotify constantly in my cab. It’d be nice to have it not attached to my phone.

Honestly, it’s begun to feel more hostile and shady. Pretty sure the Russian trolls are here, but hexchan ain’t helping either. I’m waiting for a client side instance block feature. We really need it.

We spent the five years training the model. Manually. With Captcha data.

Now we’re teaching it not to run traffic signals, hit motorcycles or busses, or try to drive up stairs.

I definitely noticed that it’s pretty seamlessly replaced Reddit for me at this point. It’s been a decent source of stuff to read and there’s enough of it now that I don’t feel like I’m just seeing the same thing repeatedly.

I like reading articles and discussions, so it’s nice to be able to have that without propping up some big toxic company.

I’ll believe it in a couple of years if he doesn’t turn up having faked his death again.

It was!

Nice, where do I get my $5k?

I had some little grey box of an mp3 player in the late 90s that held like roughly one or two smallish albums. I remember one day finding a recording of my gym teacher trying to figure out how it worked for like five minutes after unknowingly pushing the record button.

I dream of this kind of storage. I just added a second m.2 with a couple of TB on it and the space is lovely but I can already see I’ll fill it sooner than I’d like.

I forwarded all my gmail addresses to proton recently. I’m very pleased! It works a lot better than gmail-to-gmail forwarding and the UI is purple! Purple!!

Awww he looks like a sock puppet in that little top! Cute!

Looks like a shitload of people accessing it several times a day, some watching it like hawks, and an entire genre of Reddit refugees who’ve taken to advertising it on a daily basis.

Apes together still giving Reddit traffic.

It’s like writing anti-walmart propaganda on a thousand one dollar bills and then spending them all at Walmart.

This is the equivalent of buying and burning oil in protest of climate change.

Yep. Lots of stuff. Livejournal, Myspace, AOL, Digg.

Protesting platforms that feed on engagement by engaging with those platforms is very silly. You won’t fix them.

If you think Reddit turned space back on thinking people wouldn’t use it to protest and to promote alternatives, I feel like you haven’t been paying attention. They feed on rage, it keeps their numbers up.

What they can’t feed on is letting them die because we don’t need or care about them anymore. Like Mab at the end of the 90s Merlin miniseries.

Stop making daily Reddit ads you shill!

Why would you seek validation from reddit to get away from reddit?

Okay, so as a cab driver I have a lot of opportunities to get frustrated with how selfish and myopic people are. But you know what happens when I do that? I make myself miserable.

I, personally, find that my mental state is much, much better the more I’m willing to accept people not doing things ‘the right way’. Yes, I could get annoyed for the hypothetical people who might encounter an obstacle to their mobility here (who have not and may not ever arrive), but what will that actually do for me or for anyone else?

Unless I’m actually moving the obstacle my disapproval is completely useless. It may even cause me to do something stupid and inconsiderate myself as I become distracted by my annoyance.

But if I just let it go, smile, and move on, the utter insignificance of the action can just fade into the background and not make itself part of my focus on how to reflect on humanity or my day.

Bunch of goofy wordplay passed off as tech news. But while we’re here, how are they gonna say it’s technically Linux because it uses a Linux kernel but isn’t really Linux because of the OS on top of it when Linux is literally just the kernel?

Goofy.

What’s it going to take to actually do something about these ultra-rich leeches literally destroying our planet and everything good on it to inflate a number in a bank somewhere? How do we actually build up the initiative to stop it?

All our other problems seem largely centered around our inability to appropriately respond to extreme greed. Not only in actually actively stopping it, but in even identifying it or being able to properly censure it in the first place. The moment you start talking about the rich being the cause of our problems, there’s a section of society that starts tuning you out. I definitely feel like as things get worse people are starting to catch on, but even once we’re there, where do we go?

If we actually get to the point of agreeing that excessive wealth is inherently misanthropic and should be a crime in and of itself, how do we make it a crime while so much power sits in the hands of those who’d be on the losing end of that decision?

I hope the WGA and SAG can spark a change in people’s consciousness around labor. I’d honestly love to see a lot more interviews and independent podcasts coming from the picket lines. If there’s anyone who can convince Americans to fight for the value of their labor, it’s the people write and play the parts in the stories they love.
