Absolutely FUCK that. Treating psychopathic bullies as serious entities is appeasement, and provides them vacuous credibility.
The US has been on the losing side of every armed conflict they’ve been involved in for over 80 years, the clowns they’ve currently placed in charge believe that streak is double.
Distance should be applied until shit settles down, isolation if that fails, and ridicule until the populous matures enough to elect representation worthy of respect for once.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The US has been on the losing side of every armed conflict it’s been involved in for 80 years. The clowns currently in charge believe that streak is at least double that.
