It’s not mindless rejection. It´s just the argument taken one step further - the system we live in will put the fruits of AI into corporate and therefore capital’s (the bad actors) hands, along with the power and control that come with it. We won’t reap much of the benefits and we’ll suffer the costs. Without a fundamental change to the system we take that as the almost certain outcome. Hence the rejection. I think the rejection would change with a material change in the system.
Run.
ProtonPass is run by a non-profit if you have to move to another hosted solution.
Otherwise there’s multiple self-hostable options, including plain file sync options.
Use this example as learning experience that the type of the firm you’re buying a service from is very important as it changes whose interests it puts first, second and last.
If they aren’t signing union cards, they aren’t revolting.
No need to waste revolutionary potential. We’ll take the men too and give 'em some mandatory orientation.
Prior to intercourse, make 'em do material analysis of the looksmaxxing phenomena as the logical conclusion of the capital system.
The only standard under capitalism is and always has been profit. All else is temporary aberrations usually reflecting some form of labour shortage (of particular skill or general).
Awesome. You know why I’m happy abt it? The lefty (not lib) ideology is popular and salient. Solidarity feels good. The material conditions literally push people into it. The product is good and I know many if not most who try it get hooked. This shit builds communities. The angry capitalists are the ones that should be scared.
OMG it’s real.
Don’t tell them what happens when angry lefty women get together with angry lefty men. Manosphere gon turn comrade when they learn you don’t have to looksmaxx to form strong relationships (of all kinds) with the angry lefty women.
This plant was supposed to make EV batteries. Then Trump got re-elected.
This is just looking at the material reality of the problem. I can’t effectively threaten someone who I’m heavily dependent on without present alt. Kinda how Trump got slapped when he tried economic coercion on China. If the EU has a domestic alternative to Big Tech’s cloud services that’s in wide use and easy to scale up, the they can legitimately threaten Big Tech. That said even then that would not be enough given the newly developed dependence on US - LNG. Threaten Big Tech and the US threatens cutting off the gas supply. A gas supply shortage topples governments.
The technically lirerate people aren’t exempt from the power dynamics created by the vast market share of Chrome and Google, created and reinforced by Google. Even if they/we have some more freedom to maneuver. We still only test our web app features on Chromium because there’s limited time for testing, if any, and we can’t convince product that making sure the feature works, or fixing bugs on a 2-3% browser is priority. If all the developers in the world used Firefox, it would still not change this power dynamic.
This is of course thanks to all the people shitting on Firefox over the years and saying that Chrome is just better and that there’s nothing wrong with giving Google control over the web. So yeah, thanks.
No it’s not thanks to those people. Blaming individuals for not stopping what a much bigger, infinitely more resourced, organized actor has been/is doing to maximize profit is shifting the material responsibiltiy from the actor with real power to the actors without. It’s like the personal carbon footprint oil&gas came up with to shift responsibility for climate pollution from themselves to individuals. Or plastic and recycling. It feels good to lay blame on those people who did something we did not but it doesn’t help change anything material beyond that. Divides us into camps which prevents us from organizing against the profit-driven culprits.
Probably. If you use the WiFi on it, make sure to check if its WiFi is supported.
Yeah the meme while funny is a bit too radlib and as such plays idpol with different parts of the working class.
Been using OpenWrt on a Pi 4 for many years now. It’s been flawless. I’m using Ubiquiti APs. I’ve now replicated this setup in 4 more households with similar results.
A storied career.
You have to fallocate /deeznuts first.

Yeah, what I said in no way invalidates their thesis, which is well done. Rather I’m highlighting the problem is much bigger and entrenched than what it appears to be in our industry. Arguably change in our indistry could be more impactful for the whole working class since we can stop the whole economy now that critical parts of it run in the cloud. So if the message is targeted at us, it’s probably good targeting.
And he thinks the US will control the energy, chips and computing infrastructure in the future? Sure Europe isn’t in a great position at all, but the US’es future leadership isn’t all that obvious.
