@mrjamesob.bsky.social Sorry, but you're pushing the same ‘AI will kill us’ trope (or tripe) that Big Tech Bros wants you to push. I hate to say it, bud, but you're doing the work of the super rich and keeping the AI bubble pumped despite fractures starting to form in it.

This is typical of the weak, snivelling cowards that are the UK uniparty, the Tories and Labour — attacking a party deputy leader with unqualified accusations whilst he's not even in the same room to defend himself 🤬

Can someone tell me how we let all these self-serving, selfish wankers get into positions of power at the same time? Asking for a friend.

I've also been warning folk about the increasing stranglehold Big Tech are having on users' everyday life and why it's only a matter of time before you own nothing and rent everything — including your own data. It's time to decentralise and diversify. Oh, and #SaveYourself #InstallLinux 😉👍

My unexpected switch to @greenparty.org.uk reminds me of my switch from Microsoft Windows to a Linux desktop operating system. @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Greens make me feel like I have control again by working for me and the community, not greedy shareholders and top-level executives 🐧💚😁👍

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not enjoying my life right now. Some things are just getting me down more than I expected and it's a bit of a struggle trying to shake them off, but it will pass, hopefully. Just gotta ride it out, I think, but I could really do with an ego boost right now.

I'm going to assume the blame lies with some ‘big tech’ company such as Microsoft, or something that uses a Microsoft product or service, such as Azure or Windows Server 🤣 Also look at Nvidia's awful RTX 50-series graphics card launch. ’Big tech’ corps being sloppy 🤬 www.bbc.com/news/article...

So, one of my favourite craft beer companies is ditching Xitter because of the discourse there. Ironically, some of the replies calling them ‘woke’, ‘weak’, and not ‘manly’ just highlights why they are leaving the platform, and I applaud and support Northern Monk for their decision 🍻

I'm already seeing younger family members getting caught up in the lies and hateful propaganda of Nigel Farage and Reform UK, and it's really starting to worry me. Even now, they are becoming increasingly spiteful and intolerant on social media whilst fueling a culture of division and inequity.

It's my first Christmas Day with my first-born son in 16 years after my ex-wife always had him at hers since we separated in June 2009. It has been a long wait but it was totally worth it 🎄🎉🎁🥰👍 (For those not in the know, my ex-wife and I live about 150 miles apart.)

I made the mistake of visiting Xitter again, hoping it had improved. Nope, it's still as toxic as ever, full of people and bots promoting hate and spite. Life is difficult enough without being immersed in that kind of negative culture, so @bsky.app will be my social networking home from now on.
