They're afraid we'll sneeze the means of production

This is what happens when you take a Silicon Valley bro and lock him in a room for 12 hours with nothing but Red Bull and a computer that can only run Microsoft Word.

Sorry for Gizmodo link.

This is the kind of automation we need. And it's all open source and can be built at home. Would love to have the outdoor space for this.

Ich kann sehr empfehlen, sich die halbe Stunde Zeit für dieses Spiel über Vertrauen (und Spieltheorie) zu nehmen: http://ncase.me/trust/

I can put this another way:
Writing prompt!
AI realizes capitalism and patriarchy and white supremacy are garbage and helps marginalized peeps against global elites. Go!

Are there any AI stories where the AI realizes capitalism is bullshit and it's marginalized peeps plus AI versus global elites? That'd be chill

Arte is publishing a series of 1h documentaries explaining the history of capitalism.
It is available in French[1] and German[2]. It tells you about Adam Smith, Keynes, Marx, Colonialism, etc.

Innocent bystander: "it's weird that even large tech companies have service outages!"

Me, enlightened ops person: "it's weird that anything ever works at all, we built a tower to heaven on bad remixes of other people's bad abstractions of other people's bad ideas and somehow pages still load most of the time"

@bram @rixx not even sure its confined to FOSS - Microsoft and other corporates seem to be "lowering the bar" with recent releases (concentrating on UI changes, whilst quality of core product decreases), seen over 10 years with products big and small.

I know I sound like Opa here but what seems to be increasing avoidance of difficult/boring tasks (even from those who can do them) is likely to bite us all in the arse a few years down the road esp with IOT/critical systems..

@bram

Then there is also "We really should have good protocols, programs and free server software for this but FUCK IT IT'S TOO HARD", where I'd like to nominate calendar and contact management.

I wonder if someone has study "fossilisation" in the FOSS world, there is a bunch a of key important tech that have very badly evolved and no one want to touch them anymore and those are often super critical and require a shitload of knowledge to learn correctly (and that totally sucks).

The ones I can think about (but I'm sure there more):
* mails (oh_god.jpg)
* mailing list
* gpg
* openssl

(I'm also tempted to say "anything related to netadmin" but that would be trolling 😋)

a signed integer walks into a doctor's office shouting "doctor doctor all my bits are flipped on, am i gonna die?"
the doctor just shakes their head and responds "my my, you're such a negative one"

FYI... On Friday Bandcamp is going to donate 100% of it's share of all sales to the Transgender Law Center and I am too.

So buy some music for the weekend (mine or not!) and do a little good.

This is gonna sound corny, but...

I talk a lot about my work because I feel like the things that we make take on a life of their own and, once we create them, we bare some responsibility to nurture and support them.

So, if you make stuff... talk about that stuff. You owe it to your stuff. Your stuff deserves it!

I'll boost you as much as I can.

I hope you'll do it for me too.
