  Maybe this needs to be explicitly stated but it's kind of fine that you gave the guy money and liked the stuff he made before he told you he is fascist. Really. It doesn't need to be a reflection on you that you liked something he did before that information was freely available. After? Yeah. yea it gets more complicated but SUPPORTING him after is a problem. you still have nostalgia for the stuff? sure. You give him money or help his career? Nah. no. fuck that.

  Thing is, I thought that the goose honking “who, motherfucker?” Was universally known at this point. At least enough that one would Just Not post something that could have it so easily applied.

  Some people want to return to the old status quo and some people want what the status quo was pretending to be. The promise that made the status quo potentially acceptable as an interim. The promise that these last three administrations (at the very least) have shown to be a lie.

  @atax1a@infosec.exchange I think I might kinda know what you might have maybe meant, if that helps?

  Huh. I guess I don’t pay enough attention to lower cost audio stuff anymore.

  Around 15 years ago, I had a conversation with someone who was basically pitching the idea of letting google listen to our conversations so that it could present relevant info on screen in real time. I was physically repelled by the idea on surveillance related grounds. Time has revealed that *I* am the strange one for that reaction.

  I have an external monitor plugged in and just noticed that the menu bars do not stay in sync. How long has this madness stood for?

  As I see and understand it, white america mobilized for Jimmy Kimmel so quickly and vigorously in part because it was clear *how* to mobilize. Denying a corporation of money is the obvious stimulus. The american political system is a corporation. A general strike is the obvious response to this administration giving more life to Jim Crow. It isn’t a resurrection because it never quite died.

  Is there a good open source MVVM in swift example someone could point me toward? I’m now dealing with an MVVM + presenter + uhh… coordinator? Not sure about that last one. Point is that there is a whole lot of ceremony that doesn’t quite easily slot in to my conceptualization of MVVM. Doesn’t have to be in SwiftUI (the codebase I’m dealing with is UIKit, actually)

  “Why don’t you ask AI?” Because I work with people. People who built the thing using their human minds and I guess I have a preference for getting information from those over asking a computer to generate text that looks reasonably like what they might say in response to my question.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@mattsheffield/116500991239336079 OK but in what meaningful way is this not a theism?

  AI probably doesn’t cause brain damage, y’all. It doesn’t serve the anti-AI argument to confidently claim that it does right now

  I don’t think AI causes brain damage but I do believe that it damages knowledge and the valuation of knowledge.

  I’ll concede that I could deserve to be in hell. Really I don’t want to argue about that but there is no way that I deserve this specific ring of hell. Simply no way. This is egregious, if I’m being honest.

  With some of the venting out, I think that the right approach is to fix the things about my approach and behavior that I need to fix so that they are cared for while looking for a peaceable exit.
