This, especially when "AI" stands for LLM based systems. They are fundamentally corrosive to the social good. If you believe in fairness, human rights, democracy and all that.

If you are a fascist they are super aligned with your idea of the common good of course.

I am all for ambiguity. But talking with fellow leftists about overcoming capitalism while simultaneously seeing them completely convinced that "AI" is inevitable and unstoppable, is nearly breaking me 😪

Ein Bemerknis zu Wero, dieser angeblichen Alternative zu Paypal.

Also erstmal für das "mal schnell jemandem Geld überweisen" für mich eh schon nicht nutzbar, weil es nur geht, wenn man eine Banking-App auf dem Handy hat, was ich nicht habe und auch nicht haben möchte. Aber ich dachte, man könnte es evtl. aktivieren, um damit in Online-Shops zu bezahlen, wenn die es anbieten.

Diese Meinung habe ich gestern geändert, und das kam so:

@farah I second that and for point no1: the joints worked well 😉 @RickiTarr

if you are (like I am) a fan of #ghostty Terminal, I suggest you try to add the following 3 lines in your settings:

notify-on-command-finish = unfocused
notify-on-command-finish-action = no-bell,notify
notify-on-command-finish-after = 30s

I ❤️ it

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere just hit a ‘depressing’ new record
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/carbon-dioxide-levels-in-the-atmosphere-just-hit-a-depressing-record-high/

Solar energy is reaching record highs.

Wind energy is reaching record highs

Coal energy is reaching record highs

Oil and gas energy are reaching record highs.

The problem is growth. We live in the final stages of a Growth Death Cult.

We are in the worst of all worlds: More wood
More coal
More oil
More gas
More hydro
More nuclear
More wind
More solar

It's an energy CONSUMPTION crisis.

Took #radicle the peer-to-peer code hosting platform for a spin yesterday... WOW. Just. Plain. Wow!

Everything feels like a fairly natural extension of git itself, for someone reasonably comfortable with git at the commandline.

git push and git fetch and such all behave as one would expect, using a git remote helper.

But also did a great job incorporating patch tracking, which, again, just feels like a special git push or fetch.

Issue tracking also feels similarly familiar.

5 of 5 stars!

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Ideally, riding my bicycle drawn electronics repair cart full of ancient hardware chips, from before the AI-FOSS Wars. I help communities repair their tech in exchange for a room and meal at the local inn, swapping stories and learning from one another.

I mean looking at a few days worth of headlines - billion dollar ballroom, voting rights act eviscerated, Trump investigating people left right and center. It's a retrenchment. They intend to fight it out. They know they're fucked if the don't turn the Hitler trick so they are now going for the Hitler trick.

And part of me is like "they'll fail" but also? Have you looked at the opposition recently cause...

@trishalynn
> Gnosticism and Agnosticism are not related at all

That's not quite right, as they definitely share a common root;

https://www.etymonline.com/word/Gnostic

> the concepts behind agnosticism but not the word itself was also recorded ... before the Common Era

Probably true of every concept anyone thinks was invented by western philosophers ; ) "The West" is basically a cargo cult version of classical Rome/ Greece.
