Damn, there goes Linux as my retro computing target.

Guess I’ll be porting dahdi to netbsd soon lol.

Tbf, I get why Linux is dropping all this stuff. I wouldn’t mind becoming a maintainer of smaller drivers myself, but I doubt I have the skill level.

Why? Would you rather be a starving peasant with less rights that you currently have?

> Trump could say we all should get more exercise and folks would say somehow exercise is bad for you.

No I’d say he’s a fat hypocrite lol.

Nothing more ironic then fat dementia patients trying to lecture you on health. Or junkies, or Turkish pill hucksters.

Silicon Valley must be destroyed to save America. Gladly more are waking up to this. There’s been a surge on both the right and left in my state of people wanting to reject the place and it’s disgusting “culture”.

Nah, no one who seriously thought this has come around to the truth.

> The AI I dreamed of my whole life is being built, engineer-type strongmen are sort of in charge

Not sure the sort of pedophilic drug addicts running Silicon Valley companies really evoke the idea of an “engineer type strongman”. But I understand that colloquially “strongman” most means “paranoid loudmouth”.

Maybe this was the case when the researchers themselves had a small level of clout/influence, but I’ve seen more product acquisition announcements recently from AI than deep technical improvements.

Oh no too many of the powerful establishment democrats are friendly with the esteemed bankers, politicians and business leaders in those files.

God I wish. I love retro computing. There’s just so much more variety. Sadly I know I’m not the person for those sort of roles lol.

What shocks me is how open they’ve become about it.

The people are too fat and impotent to care. Plus the average retard will convince themselves that it’s something only the other guy will do.

Meanwhile, once upon a time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Athens_(1946)

These men didn’t let a little threats and intimidation stop them, though tbf they just returned from a war.

> Perhaps an overhaul of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, Corporate Personhood, Limited Liability, Business Judgment Rule, and any other Antitrust Protections, that harm citizens without destroying the fabric of society is in order.

I’d say the likelihood of that is about as likely as the Communists dream of revolution.

There are two societies. The one you exist in, and the one that the people crafting this kind of legislation. It’s harmful to your society, but beneficial to theirs.

I thought this was partly intentional to discourage DXM tripping. Same reason the only opioid they seem to give anyone now is the shitty hydrocodone/acetaminophen mix.

> Just five years ago, saying that the state of Israel is the problem would have you branded an anti-semite and driven out of polite society and rightly so. As a non-Jew, I find the reawakening of these sentiments horrifying.

Yes, but society is no longer polite. I hope the memes were worth it.
