🎬 #PROMPTSPOTTING
👇 The unofficial movie poster:

Choose Copilot.
Choose auto-complete you never asked for.
Choose Copilot buttons crammed into every ribbon.
Choose being kicked from app to chat and back again.
Choose four Copilots with the same name and none that fit the task.
Movie poster on the street, in the style of Trainspotting, with Mark Renton laughing hysterically at you. PROMPTSPOTTING Choose Copilot. Choose auto-complete you never asked for. Choose Copilot buttons crammed into every ribbon. Choose being kicked from app to chat and back again. Choose four Copilots with the same name and none that fit the task. Choose hidden paywalls. Choose cloud lag. Choose hallucinated “facts.” Choose code that won’t compile. Choose transcripts no one reads. Choose privacy swapped for “productivity.” Choose your carefully crafted prompt eaten away as Copilot stops responding. Choose dashboards that have never been opened. Choose AI glitter over real fixes. Choose agents over apps. Choose hearing “we should use AI for this” when no one in the room knows what the f*** that even means. Choose watching a marketing demo with perfectly groomed prompts that never work in real life. Choose rotting away at the office as Copilot thanks you for your service via Teams chat before disabling your user account. Choose your future. Choose Copilot.

Considering moving all my iCloud/Google Photos to Immich on a Synology. Anyone else done that? I've got every photo I've taken since 1998 and would prefer to not mess this up.

Then, the MAGA depravity extends to their efforts in every other field. Musk and his allies now sell child sexual abuse material for profit on X, while their White House allies make it *impossible to create laws to stop this*. By the end of this year, we can expect ChatGPT to be doing the same.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military:

jaderemedy • 4h ago And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like. Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is "well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it. This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order. And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny. You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely. "Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckin…
