the NTP foundation (yeah the time thing) is begging for scraps of cash, like a few thousand dollars - a low level manager at amazon, google, apple and meta could each whip out the corp credit card, give them $5k each and problem solved, but no, they're too far up their own arse to do that

no I don’t want to install your app for something that used to be a button or putting a coin in a slot
no I don’t want to join your discord simply so I can file a bug on your project and idle on the server for three weeks until someone replies
no I don’t want to rate my experience, it took 20 seconds and it’ll take longer than that to form an opinion
no I don’t want to create an account to save my information for a future interaction, and your demand that I do decreases the likelihood there will be one
no I don’t want to do whatever thing you’re only offering a “maybe later” for; my stubbornness is stronger than your belief in eventuality
no I don’t want to connect to the internet something that, twenty years ago, wouldn’t have had a computer in it
no I don’t want to use your javascript compiler extension’s custom file format, in a better language that could have been a macro or a data format
no I don’t want to install the copy protection for your audio plugin, no matter how good you claim the plugin is, nor how unobtrusive you claim the background process is
no I don’t want your new AI thing, I want you to fix that bug I filed five years ago

what part of no don’t you understand?
the part where I’m claiming self-determination or the part where it’s less convenient for your assumptions?
I didn’t want to be a grumpy old man, but the internet and capitalism had other plans
I didn’t want to become so defensive, but I need my technology to serve me, not the other way around

these "I am a world-class hacker so I hacked your computer and I got to see all your porn! send me bitcoin or I'll expose you" scammers would be a lot more believable if they didn't send 15 emails with different names on the same day.

This thing that 404 is writing about in the US—the dehumanizing fake content created purely because Facebook pays people to make it?

It has a direct precedent in the Myanmar genocide and has been widely reported on for years. Karen Hao's work on this is outstanding:

"Connect the dots - it's all right in front of you!", the conspiracy true believer says.

Seeing patterns is what we're wired to *do*. It's something humans are so good at, we're constantly bombarded with phantoms of patterns that mean nothing.

The trick isn't connecting dots. It's learning to slow down and understand the data first.

like god fucking damn what did keepassxc do that made all these little fuckers pledge allegiance to it? what about this mediocre blog post is convincing? did y’all miss the context that this post is accompanied by a bunch of posts on other official keepassxc accounts where they give incorrect and potentially dangerous information in defense of their use of LLMs?

"While #Canada cannot win any war with the United States, we could stop funnelling money in that direction for things like Windows licenses, and digital services. Perhaps instead of trying to tax Meta and X, the government could just ... stop using their services? If people want their government updates on social media, they can follow the government on Mastodon, or just bookmark a government #Mastodon page, the y’d probably happily do it if you explained why."

Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.
