RE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/116082694984669549

I am just so tired of this "AI" shit. Truly. Not just the extra maintenance burden on my but the constant discussions that lead nowhere. I can keep making the same arguments against using "AI" for anything relevant from here till the cows come home but it's not gonna change people's opinion. Because they are "on AI" or their bosses force it upon them or whatever.

But honestly. It's all been said. Neither does the tech change significantly (regardless of what the boosters tell you) nor do the other facts at hand, the brain and skill atrophy, the exploitation, the ecological impact, etc. etc. etc.

Dunno. It's hard to keep doing this whole "keep making your point and maybe some people will change their mind thing" when the facts are all on the table and people just have made decisions I find morally questionable.

Maybe I am just tired. Will keep doing the same shit tomorrow. Keep running against that concrete wall hoping that it will somehow crumble.

@tante a lot of us are tired. I am exhausted. Thanks for sharing your feelings on the subject though, it makes me feel a fraction better!

Ik zou af en toe gewoon wel eens een YouTube-filmpje willen downloaden. Hoe doet een mens dat anno 2026 zonder al te veel gedoe? Enlighten me, please?

Steam displays this for Death By Scrolling, but it's not true. Game works great with a controller. I can't figure out how to let Steam know the game does support a controller. Don't guess, but if you really know, let me know.

@grumpygamer ugh where did we go wrong with society and the internet that we can tweet at celebrities (in the before times so hard to reach) but finding actual contact info for companies has become so hard and frustrating?!

De Staat van het internet 2025 is begonnen! Hieronder tooten we live enkele highlights. ⤵️

“AI is heel erg leuk, je kunt er leuke plaatjes mee maken, maar het wordt ook ingezet om meer mensen te doden, meer burgerslachtoffers te maken dan we voorheen deden. De implicaties zijn heel ernstig.” - @marleenstikker

@waag @marleenstikker kan de URL van de qr code er ook bij? Edit: het is me gelukt er op te komen maar ik mis uitleg. Het zou mooi zijn als het wat laagdrempeliger kon want ik ben een nerd maar nog niet zo’n nerdy nerd!

I've noticed something that I think is worth pointing out: pretty much ALL of the pushback I have gotten on LinkedIn over the past few months over stories critical of this administration has come from men in IT. Many of whom no doubt idolize Musk, who in their minds can walk on water.

Conversely, the response almost universally I've seen from female non/male people in IT and security professionals on LinkedIn has been a great deal more appropriate, i.e. horror, disgust and revulsion for the way this administration is treating federal employees, veterans, the courts, judges, lawyers, journalists, and important, long-standing U.S. policy interests.

I guess what I'm saying is nobody should expect the men in IT to lead the resistance. So many of them are like this guy: angry, aggressive, and really excited about the good old US of A going back to the 80s. Like the 1880s.

A LinkedIn direct message from Stuart Grant, CISSP, CEH, Principal Information Security Architect at Itron Inc. Dear Brian: You suck. Leave your damn politics out of it. This is not a political platform. Me: Hey Stuart. I'm sorry the guy you voted for is a Fascist. You should really start paying attention instead of burying your head in the sand.

@briankrebs authoritarian regimes and toxic masculinity go hand in hand!

It's such a tragedy. Wordpress, the most important CMS on the planet, is lead by a deeply troubled man in his midlife crisis acting like a four year old in a tantrum.

Fine, one more politic(s)

I honestly don't care that Harris's clapbacks at Dowmarket Mussolini are snarky or entertaining, that's really not the point is it?

The point is that someone is clearly behind the wheel and trying to beat Trump, which I'm sorry to say has simply not been a reality until now.

I'm not here to pretend a ballot stops fascism, but if you want to beat this guy in an election it helps to demonstrate you're fighting and bring awareness to what a toad he is. Daily if possible

@AnarchoNinaWrites and the worst thing is that they’ll pretend they didn’t want to rage/go nuts/do violence but that you forced them to :s
