I just don't understand how people can eulogize Swartz and simultaneously conclude that the world needs *more* intellectual property enforcement

honestly its kind of insane how vindicated i've been with my doomsaying about reactionary media influence in the aftermath of No Mercy being removed from Steam. now nobody's in denial anymore. i mean, it's something you'd say as a joke, that they want to ban depictions of dancing

accusations they level at the left are never meant as "the left is doing [x], a thing nobody should ever do". it's always "the left is doing [x], which licenses us to also do [x]"; but as the evidentiary standards they adopt for evaluating the first clause there are beyond abysmal,

also a ritual for legitimizing that strategy. to declare w/o evidence that e.g. the left is meddling in elections is to *propose* meddling in elections, & to join in on making such declarations is to assent w/ the proposal. it's strategy formation, not a matter of "belief" that the left is doing it.

All character animations in Mega Knockdown are overrides on top of a 'base layer' populated with placeholder Jerma greenscreen sprites. I can't remove these "Load Bearing Jermas" without rebuilding my entire animation system.

Guys. The Ancient Greeks weren't white. They were more like cephalopods than modern humans -- their skin was bioluminescent and constantly shifting its color. And they didn't live in in idyllic seaside villages; they could only survive near deep-ocean vents. They DID have Matt Damon accents, though

To find out. Eventually the answer came: cleaners arrived. They were more thorough than our cleaners! One hour of vacuuming near the eye toy- white noise- caused the in game chat audio compression to leak a few bytes of memory (only with white noise). Long enough? Crash.

Internet political discourse is fantasizing about the things you'd ban if you had power one day, never trying to get power, and ignoring that the people with all the power all want to destroy you and would use all the power you'd give them to do it.

the socmed mentality is formed by the constant pressures of being in a human crowd crush under a ceaseless barrage of commercial and political manipulation. the doomscroller is formed by the same forces as the couch potato - sometimes the same advertisers, for the same products.

As a software architect, psychology is one of my super powers for this reason. We live in a world where the people building some of the most influential tools of thought are the very same people who refuse to acknowledge the difficulty of the problem or hold the human mind in sufficient reverence

A long time ago, a friend of mine introduced me to a profound idea. At the end of the day, every human organization only has one true purpose. To ensure its own continued existence. All other activities are ultimately about that.

my favorite part of this "decentralization acceleration" AI image is that for all practical purposes it clearly is not decentralized, since everything still stems from, connects to, and revolves around a centrally-important node

Cause here's the thing. If you're only ever looking at what seems to be the facts on the ground, everything looks fucking bleak. And you so you sound bleak all the fucking time. And that's not what people need. It's not what they respond to.

To be clear, I think it's reasonable to say you learned some new piece of history that you find particularly shocking. There are a lot of shocking things in America's past. What I object to is phrasing it as "I didn't I'd keep finding things that were this bad."

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

One thing that has become really clear since yesterday is that we live in at least two different realities. Talking to a friend who only knew Charlie as a Christian motivational speaker because that's all that ever came across her feed. Showed me videos I've never seen before of him saying perfectly reasonable and empowering things.

I showed her videos she'd never seen before of his racism, misogyny, homophobia, advocating for violence against specific groups of people. She was horrified by his remarks about Pelosi's husband's attacker being bailed out and celebrated for his violent act. She was horrified by a number of things that he said, but she had never seen or heard them before, the same as I had never seen or heard the generalized clips of him sounding like a perfectly nice loving man and father.

Neither of us had a whole picture of this man. I mentioned he was a known white supremacist and she thought I was joking.

She talked about him giving a speech about finding your purpose and doing good in the world and I thought she was joking.

I saw why this friend was mourning the loss of a person she thought was a good person.
My friend, bless her, saw why I feel the way I do about him. We understood each other better. In spite of a multi-billion dollar internet machine specifically focused on keeping us apart. Because we talked to each other with the desire to listen and to learn rather than the desire to change someone else's mind or to be "right".

None of those motivational things he said change my opinion about him because they don't erase the negativity, the subtle calls for violence, the belittling and denigrating of other races religions genders etc. His negative and blaming comments about homeless people, the poor, and victims of domestic violence. His comments about rounding up people who didn't think like him and putting them in camps where their behavior could be corrected. That time he said empathy was a made-up word he didnt believe in. That other time he said the Civil Rights Act was a mistake. The time he said most people are afraid when they get on a plane and see that there's a black pilot. His anti-vaccination rhetoric and his active campaigning against people being allowed to wear masks for their own health. His open support of fascism and white supremacy. To me, all of those are fully unchristian sentiments. Those are undeniable and just one of them would be a deal-breaker for me. All of them together are a picture of a man who was polarizing,

enraged a lot of people and rightly so, but even with all of that I would never wish upon him or especially his children the end that he got.
Oh, and my friend had never heard, and God help me I don't know how she escaped the news, but she had never heard of the Minnesota legislators who were shot in June. The husband and wife and dog who were killed, one after throwing themselves over their child to protect the child. The other couple who somehow survived.

Politically motivated attacks specifically because they were democrats. She learned about those shootings that happened months ago because I showed her Charlie Kirk's comments about them. The kidnapping plot against a female Midwestern Democratic governor. The assassination attempt against Pennsylvania's democratic governor. All things Charlie had plenty to say about while supporting the Second Amendment and bashing the Democratic party. She didn't know about any of it because we're all living in two different worlds and none of us have the whole story.
