i tried as hard as i can to make the last paragraph sound polite, but perhaps it being angry is more appropriate

RE: @parismarx@mastodon.online

I have been listening to this episode, and if I were nodding along in real-time as much as my brain is vigorously agreeing with *everything* Gita is saying, my neck would snap. 😅

This, so much this! I'm not a tech cynic today because I hate tech. I'm a cynic *because I love tech!* That's why I *care* about not letting those greedy rich fucks destroy everything I've loved so much about this space over the past 35 years!

Wow, there are some people out there really freaking out about slop-free forks.

Guess what?

**YOU don't get to tell people how to do their activism!**

I'll download and compile/install whatever the fuck I want!

I'll also support any forks, or fork myself, whenever the fuck I want!

Sorry to be this blunt, but I CANNOT ABIDE self-appointed thought police telling me what is or is not slop or what projects are or are not viable.

Libre software is *freedom*. Period. End of story.

RE: https://c.im/@cdarwin/116185232602660836 In case y'all aren't aware, new data center projects are being struck down or paused all over the US & Canada now, because stories like this are breaking through the national consciousness. As soon as anyone gets wind that their community is targeted next, people rise up. Amazingly this is not a left/right issue—folks across the political spectrum *hate* this bullshit!

Quoting

Chuck Darwin @cdarwin@c.im

Elon Musk’s new AI data center has turned a formerly quiet Mississippi town into a noisy nightmare.
The $20 billion facility, run by Musk’s AI firm xAI, is powered by ⚠️27 methane gas turbines that run day and night,
belching fumes and emitting a constant noise like jet engines, NBC News reports.
The turbines were trucked in because Southaven, the unsuspecting rural community that Musk chose to build the data center in, can’t provide the electricity the facility needs.

Apparently I haven't said this enough times, so I'll have to bore you all with my many repetitions in future:

An agentic source of network activity is indistinguishable from malware.

OK, so #Inkscape is the latest in the lineup of #LibreSoftware to tickle my fancy!

I had switched over to my #Linux box to get some work done and then realized the work I needed to get done was editing some SVGs. In the past I'd have used Affinity on Mac or iPad.

But then I remembered that @inkscape@mastodon.art is a thing. So I installed it, *quickly* got up to speed, and completed my task.

My list of "what can't I do on Linux" is dwindling rapidly! 😁

“Amplifier” by Lost Years is still one of the best instrumental #synthwave albums ever! It was one of the first examples I heard when I stumbled into the genre a decade ago, and it still holds up. A lot of my work on the @yarredmusic@intuitivefuture.com album “Redwood Coast” was inspired directly by this.

I've been saying for a long time now that "open source AI" isn't really open source. We are being manipulated.

I'm glad to hear Meredith Whittaker is fully in agreement on this point.

So now I'm hearing about so-called Open Source projects closing PR contributions from the outside world because it's easier to "generate the code" from within their org just based on people's bug reports or whatever.

**Mask off moment.**

These people never cared about #OpenSource or #LibreSoftware. They just cared about marketing & free labor. Now that they can get "free labor" from slop machines faster, they'll do that.

🙄

Folks, we need real community now more than ever.
