<p>As with all things, the root of the issue is the incentive structure. Once again, we see the incentive of limitless growth and capital accumulation at all costs turns out to be harmful, actually. Waow.</p>

<p>Economic warfare against the US is charity and kindness to a sizable portion of the world's population, especially when the US uses it's global hegemony as warfare against them. Neither system is perfect, but lets not be disingenuous.</p>

<p>Any lever by which it was once possible to impose "stop" is now completely bought and paid for many times over in the US. There is simply no way in which popular sentiment can meaningfully be imposed upon our society.</p>

<p>Mainstream software development has been gutless and captured by MBA culture for decades at this point. Just like all other aspects of culture: video games, music, television. We can only optimize for one thing, money, and everything is downstream of that. It seems quaint to even point that out nowadays, since we've been living in the rubble of creativity for so long.<p>That's not to say these things don't exist but as always you need to go out of your way to find them, because people who are prioritizing the creative act <i>typically</i> aren't going to be prioritized in our attention-focused slop world.</p>

<p>Classic Conservative move of building a strawman and arguing against it. None of these deals would involve taxes, EU "laws" (whatever that means) or border agreements. He's using the boogeyman of "ew brown people" to scare his base.<p>Apparently, even Canadian conservatives are happy to grovel at the feet of the Burger Reich and their supreme leader.</p>

<p>On the "Principles for a New Utopia" page, the first line is:<p>>"Someone once said that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism."<p>They cite Marxist philosopher Fredric Jameson (and misspell his name, incidentally), but I've always attributed this phrase to Fisher. I guess citing kpunk would have probably made the simulation we all live in <i>actually</i> implode.</p>

<p>I somewhat sympathize with the poster here, I too am a chronic distrohopper and if you are just the type of person with shiny object syndrome it can be really exhausting constantly being yanked around by your interest in other distros. I've been on gentoo for a year now and that's the longest lasting install I've ever had. Planning on keeping it that way, but you never know.<p>I also have a macbook that I use for certain proprietary apps that don't have Linux clients and it can be a weirdly peaceful experience just knowing you're locked into macOS's stack and there aren't a myriad of options you could install at any moment should you get bored.<p>That being said, macOS sucks.</p>

<p>I already practice this. If you can't be bothered to construct a coherent sentence as a form of interpersonal communication, you can also go fuck yourself. Its beyond degrading.<p>Before anyone hits me with the "oh what about people who don't speak English" -- I legitimately don't care. I'd rather do the extremely human and now seemingly endearing ritual of trying to figure out what you're trying to say in our respectively broken interpretation of human language than read one sentence of Claudeisms.</p>

<p>For me the big one is whenever I type "sys" to get system settings, it pops up for a half second and then for some reason the top result is like "reset some system setting" and then I invariably get flashbanged because it turns off dark mode and there's no confirmation dialogue lmao. Maddening.</p>

<p>Meh, AI is deep in it's diversification stage -- there are soooooooo many players in the game right now and basically one maybe two will survive once the dust settles. All these frontier labs are fighting tooth and nail to be the one left standing. Apple is making a measured approach saying "hey, we're probably not going to be the Google of AI, but the smartest thing for us to do is to put infrastructure in place so that once there is a contraction (which there will be, think the search engine landscape in the 2000s) we're relatively ahead for relatively little effort/cost."</p>
