masquenox , to technology in Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare

It’s always been crony capitalism. There is no other kind of capitalism - never has been.

masquenox , to technology in Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare

late-stage crony capitalism.

So… capitalism.

crony capitalist system which feeds corporate greed.

Sooo… capitalism?

Our government is controlled by a handful of mega corps which have their hands pulling the strings due to the lobbying system.

So just bog-standard capitalism, then?

Regulated capitalism is fine

The Soviets tried that and failed. The Chinese tried it too, and it turned into… bog-standard capitalism.

People keep pointing the finger at AI, but miss the fact that the problem is corporate greed capitalism. AI has the possibility to help us solve problems, corporate greed capitalism will gate keep the solutions and cause us suffering.

No need to thank me.

Oh, look… a sausage fest. As an actual straight male - no fucking thank you.

masquenox , to til in A WWII Propaganda Campaign Popularized the Myth That Carrots Help You See in the Dark

Well, let’s face it… the Brits were really good at spreading this kind of propaganda - people in my own family bought into this “carrots help your night vision” stuff even back in the 80s.

I mean, if Biritsh propagandists are to be believed you’d think they were the only people on the planet to ever think of building an airplane out of wood…

masquenox , to technology in 24 of the best free alternatives to the most popular paid software

You forgot vector-graphics stuff.

I believe Inkscape is the current leader of the open-source pack in that department.

masquenox , to news in ‘No way out without bloodshed’: the right believe the US is under threat and are mobilizing

That’s because the US is under threat.

I mean… what did people think happens when the lies an empire is built upon is debunked one after the other?

masquenox , to til in TIL states that passed laws allowing a married person to seek a divorce without the consent of their spouse saw female suicide decline by 20 percent

None that I’ve heard of.

masquenox , to til in TIL states that passed laws allowing a married person to seek a divorce without the consent of their spouse saw female suicide decline by 20 percent

My own interpretation is that it’s hard to hide bruises on a naked body.

Considering that the ancient Greeks literally allowed men to murder their wives under certain conditions, I’d say that seeing bruises on a woman’s body would elicit no outcry amongst them.

Also… fuck ancient Greece. And fuck the Roman empire, too.

Which is why I have you noted as “Bad Faith”

As all the liberals festering around here does. I’ll just throw this badge on the heap with the others, okay?

masquenox , to technology in "Maybe This is Too Cool" - After years of layoffs and pay/resource freezes, Amazon execs treat themselves to a private Foo Fighters concert worth millions

So we’re just skipping the part about the execs

No… we actually talk about Amazon’s shitfuckery a lot. Where have you been?

There’s a pretty big gray area for “participating in capitalism does not equal approval of capitalism.”

That only goes for the working class - the people who are forced to participate in capitalism. Not for filthy rich musicians.

And this is music, not war.

There is no aspect of our enforced existence under capitalism that is free from it’s insidious influence - and that includes music.

It is a musician’s business to know who they are performing for and why - and the more famous they are, the more it starts to matter. Grohl knows this.

The people on here who is excusing this with “capitalism bad except when people I like is doing it” arguments is just demonstrating how empty “liberal values” get when push comes to shove.
