Marxist socilaism
I wouldn’t go quite so far. At the end of the day we mostly see their military, and it’s fairly slim on the details about the rest. We know it’s post-scarcity, it’s democratic, it’s not currency-based, and not much else beyond that.
So, this depends a lot on where you are. But in most places, plastic straws are pretty irrelevant. The main sources of microplastics are things like road markings, worn tires, synthetic textiles, etc.
But saying
“We laid off 25% of our workers cuz we can”
Usually makes the stock go up.
I mean, he is on the “Fuck AI” community. You may agree with the response, but it should be hardly surprising.
That’s literally just a replicator for copies of Star Trek!
steam machine devalued the labour of artisans
I’m so cooked that my brain went: “how is this the fault of Gabe Newell?”
Imagine the management of Fiat not going around in a Panda…
I got three such offers by direct email just this week.
No, thanks.
But I mean why? Used in this way, AI systems are just another static analysis tool.
Sure, a computationally inefficient one, but if you can get the signal/noise region high enough, anything that helps you find bugs seems fair game to me.
One has to review their work, and take any fix offered by the slopmachine with a lot of care, of course.
And Anthropic is a bad company, but we are talking about detecting security vulnerabilities in Firefox by wasting Anthropic money. That seems like win-win.
The only downside (and I admit it’s big) is that Anthropic gets some publicity out of this.
They are talking about specific hardware features. Which would of course be great, but you can imagine how they are not exactly at the toppiest toppy top of Fairphone’s priorities, when they are still struggling to be taken seriously by your mainstream Android buyer.
Consider that every hardware features is extra hard for Fairphone, on account of their very specific commitments to materials sourcing, labor practices, and longer term support.
They are a company with a lot of very complicated demands, for a still very low volume of sold devices. They need to pick their battles, and clearly being blessed by the church of Graphene can’t be that high a priority.
My Thinkpad from 2017 keep getting firmware updates through lvfs for like 7 or 8 years. I was pretty impressed actually.
I am European, and cast iron is not used much here (outside of dutch ovens obviously), and neither is carbon steel. To be completely honest, on this side of the altantic we are all a little puzzled as to why y’all like cast iron so much.
I have one non-stick pan for omelettes and fish, a seldom used dutch oven for stews, and I can do everything else with straight stainless steel so it all goes in the wash (except the valve of my pressure cooker).
Even my forged Wüsthof knife goes in.
I like my wood chopping board, but rarely use it because of the hassle of cleaning it. Machine-washed plastic boards don’t stink, so that’s what I use most days.
You can get smaller dishwashers. They make some very compact ones.
And it’s not a hard and fast rule but… If it’s not machine washable, it usually remains on the shelf.
FOSS users:
Big tech leeches off FOSS and never gives back!
Also FOSS users:
These big tech companies should stay out of our favorite projects, thei money is poison!
And this is why we can’t have nice things.

What’s puzzling me is the nature of their game… (Cit.)
It’s not that we didn’t listen… It’s that there’s just too many people that see every warning as a suggestion.
Wilbur, IIRC is the name of the mascot.
Anyone who has not yet been able to completely cut the US off their business travel.
You can do NFC payments on degoogled Roms using an app called Curve.
In the Star Trek Universe though, from what I remember, there wasn’t a revolution of the working classes. There was a near global collapse due to a series of wars (often stated with different or contradictory dates), followed by some dark age, then a new golden age starting with first contact.
From my memories of Marx he was also pretty light on the details of the society that would follow his revolution, so if you tilt your head and squint a little, kinda anything goes.
To me it feels like the wrong label for the task.
