  • I don’t need to be paid, I just don’t want corpos profiting off of my data for any reason, so robots.txt works fine for me. The reason that’s enough in my eyes is, I don’t hate capitalism nor am I an anarchist or tankie, this is about halting enshittification and for one other reason:

    “AI is fundamentally about giving the wealthy access to skill while depriving the skilled of the means to access wealth.”

    In short, eat the rich because they’ve ruined everything. They want capitalism? Then no more “laissez-faire” bullshit, you pay your fucking 90% tax on every dollar above 1 mil and shut it. Nobody needs 15 different colors of common Lamborghini and 1 Lambo out of less than 500. Nobody needs 5000 days of going to the mall to buy a dress every day. Nobody needs a personally-owned A380 private jet. Nobody needs 25%, 25 fucking percent, return on investment.

    That also applies to the internet and tech companies as much as reality and banks. When I used Reddit, I never told them they could block access behind a paywall and they know it, and they also knew I can’t afford an international court case against an American tech giant. Now 90% of google is locked behind reddit, a company which shadow banned me well before the API issues.

    As long as Reddit, Google, Samsung, Microsoft, etc. can’t legally make free money off of this, I’m happy.




















  • A famine in 1845 that was caused by…

    “As someone who lived 5 years in ireland and saw the history its absolutely fucking horrible. If you think about it its kinda ironic. Uk occupies a country, controls everything there and commits a genocide. Israel is occupying a country, controls everything there and commits a genocide. By the way as a neurotypical who has autistic family members and friends, in this case what happened is that the irish potato famine got normalized over time but the genocide in gaza is a current event. Also the israel one is political. Third thing is most neurotypicals are pussies, if you spend time with neurodivergent people you realize that a lot of things they say are funny as fuck, even if its a bit raw sometimes.”

    That was by Altoothbrush in this topic, if you didn’t see it.

    I’m not Irish, nor do have an issue with Israelis. This whole issue just reeks of “casual dismissiveness” and I’m autistic myself so this hurts deep.
