i hate how close linux is to being good. youll use linux and 99% of things will work perfectly but then a single app you rely on will be super hard to install and once you get it running itll keep crashing and have missing functionality (the app is bambustudio/orcaslicer rn)

Howabout instead of burning down the Internet Archive, we burn down OpenAI and its planet destroying plagiarism machines that will cause apocalyptic job losses in the millions because they will be left completely unchecked.

#academicsky, I am going to start sharing more details of some quality, #openaccess journals in the social sciences, who won't sell your stuff to AI companies, and also don't charge you fees. Please DM me or reply with *genuine* examples. An ongoing thread and blog: ubisurv.net/2024/09/04/r.... 1/n

thinking about forgotten computer sounds we no longer hear:

• the grinding noise of a defragmenting hard drive
• the BZWOMM of the monitor degauss button
• the squeal of an ejecting floppy drive
• the crackle of static as you switch off a CRT monitor
• the horrifying shriek of a dot matrix printer

Is this how I find out if I'm hot? I start talking about how I used to get drunk and install Arch Linux and see if anyone likes it? 😎

i hope people realise that NPR and RadioFreeEurope are still propaganda vehicles for the American empire, even if NPR is fairly good on a domestic level

i think i am genuinely smarter than anyone who ever suggests to use AI within the social science space
