  • Rowling is some white trash but it seems everything is fascist nowadays this word lost its meaning altogether

    fascist fascist nazi… doesn’t bring anything to mind anymore. Could be a brand of orange juice at this point or some children snacks

    Looks like it was already a problem in 1944 as Orwell writes:

    It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley’s broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else.

    Honestly it is unfortunate that most internet commenters are nearly illiterate and aren’t able to come up with more precise adjectives


  • Steam deck showcases perfectly how all usual consumer electronics are not made for you but for company to make bucks by delivering the bare minimum feature set for highest price.

    I don’t think I can name any other device, appliance, car or anything that actually is made purely to deliver the most to the user. It’s a single anomaly and I don’t think this will last long or at all, let alone is some trend that will continue.

    From all my purchases over the years it was a single device that not only matched expectations but exceeded them x 2 or more. I bought iPad Pro m4 oled around that time too and ipad in comparison is just a little bit more than what it is supposed to be, severely limited, for a hefty sum even though they say apple is a king of hardware.

    Apple is not a king of hardware but a master of making money. Valve makes things that are actually awesome (but probably not profitable)

    It’s probably temporary and brief moment but I am sure going to make the most out of it before it falls under the waves of enshittification again.

    To be honest I don’t know how all these big companies still make money and are popular with how rudimentary, limited and OK their products are. I am like “what kind of fucking loser is slurping up all their stuff” oh… it’s me







  • Wooo, that’s super cool. Do I have any tags? Tell me tell me. Make a pink one

    Tho these tags are shared yes? Imagine shared community built tags like some yelp reviews of people. Actually that’s a terrible idea so it will probably happen.

    Augmented Reality Community Driven People Scoring System.
    I don’t talk to anyone lower than 7 or who was marked by users as <opposite political party>

    Better yet. Automatically ban anyone with lower than 5

    Ugh too much coffee, too many stimulants

    Still it sucks so that’s probably the future. you can’t even opt out because even if you don’t have the AR glasses everyone else has.

    The only hope for the future is to be a hacker. Achieve a cozy AI-proof job as a security expert and use the skills to enhance your life. If you are able to find new exploits that will always be valuable skill netting cash one white hat way or black hat another and rather hard to replicate for LLMs which excel at repetitive patterns. So whether you are making wannacry 2.0 or blackmailing companies into hiring you I think this is relatively future proof area.
