  • The US has been a nation no-one should treat as a serious entity since 2024-11-05, and will not be again until they can prove their ability to hold another legitimate election.

    Right now it’s a coin flip as to whether I’ll see that within the remainder of my lifetime.

  • Stop calling LLMs ‘AI’, there’s nothing intelligent about regurgitating statistically luke-warm refried Reddit threads.

  • We have Drop Bears, but they’re nowhere near as deadly as a US school.

  • It’s a bit convoluted, but…

    I consider economics to be the control mechanism which filled the void in society vacated by religion after the enlightenment.

    • Finance replaced mythology.
    • Banks and insurance replaced cathedrals and churches.
    • Economists replaced the clergy.
    • GDP replaced God.

    Basically economics, as an intellectual discipline, is far closer to theology than physics. Given that, I don’t respect the positioning of economics as dictating the function of legitimate fields.

  • I’ve always considered Windows to be a toy OS, because the only use case that could legitimately justify its need is gaming. Removing that requirement leaves only the clownishly unserious and terminally incurious users, which is a large population in computing today, but I’m fine with leaving them to kick in their wading sewer.

  • ‘Piracy’ is only a problem if ‘Intellectual Property’ is treated as a legitimate concept, and not an arbitrary construct of artificial constraint imposed on intrinsically abundant resources.

    Copyright and patents should be replaced with a system designed to quantify and attribute the true value of ideas, and not reward locking them away as tightly as possible.

  • My observations around the lack of deployment of IPv6, and many other iterative technical refinements, is the majority of those who make technical decisions today are so thoroughly abstracted away from roles which understand the need and benefit of it.

    ‘IT’ has become mature to the point that technical competency has been neutered by economics being granted an unchallengeable veto over its design and implementation.

    Until the world recalibrates and suppresses economics to an appropriately subservient status, we won’t see properly robust technical advances again.

  • Every healthy society needs a robust guillotine repair and maintenance workforce.

  • Personalising CDs with 5 seconds in a microwave was always entertaining. I even got some tracks to “play” afterwards.

  • Prove it.

  • Every healthy society needs a robust guillotine repair and maintenance workforce.

  • For me, this is the most depressing part.

    So many of the technically competent individuals I know are just gleefully throwing their competency and credibility into this ‘AI’ grift chipper with utter abandon.

    I can’t see a viable path through it, and whenever they’ve articulated what they see on the other side, it is beyond repugnant and I truly don’t see any benefit in existing in that world if it ever manifests.

  • Don’t eat shit, mulch the rich.

  • Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

  • Every number system is base 10.

    Binary is base 1+1.Ternary is base 2+1.Octal is base 7+1.Decimal is base 9+1.Duodecimal is base B+1.Hexadecimal is base F+1.

  • When opposition needs to be classified as legal, you’re losing.

  • Nut milk comes from male cows.

  • Fascists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

    Every attack a revelation of insecurity.Every praise an area of weakness.Every accusation an admission.

  • As well as Chappelle went down on the Saudi’s for the hydrocarbon/haemoglobin infused cash?
