It's so funny how much bsky openly hates that they have the userbase they do

That's right

No rest until every Doge boy is in prison.

Meiji era packaging is crazy

I'm sure the people who thought ideas like global tariffs and unilaterally attacking Iran will figure out a way to deliver on this kind of economy for the working class!

It’s impossible for either side to make progress because the drones can just carry an artillery shell to the thin top armor of tanks and drones will drop mines in front of you and behind you for when you retreat.

The tech industry saw a human internet capable of producing more information in a day than anyone could read in their whole lives and thought, what if we could do that but worse?

I understand the reasoning of harm reduction votes, but the central mechanism of a constitutional republic is you have to make a positive argument about why people should vote for you and convince them. Stop taking people for granted and do your jobs.

Great piece that reiterates something everyone who is not a weird bay area freak or sucked into the AI hype cycle understands implicitly. There's no magic left, these people have barren imaginations.

One Tim enters, another Tim exits. Perfectly balanced as all things should be.

Cook almost looks like a quaint relic of Obama era neoliberalism.

Apple is a huge and evil monopolistic entity, but Cook at least had the decency to act like an adult compared to fools like Musk, Andreesen, and Zuckerberg.

Tim Cook oversaw a massive expansion of the mobile internet and turned that success into a challenge to the dominance of x86 with chips that were faster and more efficient than what Intel was offering. He'll go down as one of the more competent leaders of the tech industry during this period.

This Is Just To Say

Isn't this one of those Europeans who pretends to be Japanese

It's incredible that he's directly disparaging his current employees with this statement.

21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

Palantir is part of the "regressive and harmful" subculture that destroyed USAID, terminated mRNA research, trashed NIH & CDC & FDA & EPA, and brought back measles. Within the next few years, their subculture will be responsible for more preventable deaths than any other in human history.

Evil men will ignore the questions of "long peace for who?" and refuse to speak about the millions of people men like Kissinger killed in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East over the course of the cold war and American hegemony. It's a bloody peace for the perpetrators of that violence.

It's incredible that companies and people like David Sacks will talk about the elite like they're aren't a part of it.

At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software

Literally data centers in space. Zero physical knowledge to know why it's a dumb idea but it seems cool and well make more people buy my IPO

Endings are hard, I thought this series had a pretty decent one though. It definitely wasn't as much of a discourse nuclear weapon as chainsaw man.

I want to make a game that makes people cry that aren't me when I'm developing it

Firing and jailing RFK is the moderate position

Switching off pixel perfect and letting it ride 😎

Never stop fighting for liberty.

At least they have strict type checking on

I'm glad people are saying when not if now

Sometimes I think about how things like operating systems, web browsers, even instruction sets themselves are social agreements built on top of moving bits in and out of registers really really fast. Standards and portability that enables software and the internet are more culture than machine.
