@thezerobit @bagder @linuxfoundation Ah so this is basically the big-tech's "join them and destroy them from the inside" angle...

@acb This is an extreme oversimplification. Currently the stack above the bottom layer is about 3 times the depicted height...

@j3j5 been wondering the same. What's going on? #ArchLinux #Aur

While having to deploy a #kubernetes based ...thing... with #Rancher, #Helm, #KeyCloak etc I just figured out what the most likely thing is that they were calling "The #Singularity". It's not #AGI.

It's when the abysmal stack of abstraction layers on abstraction layers, hiding patches on hotfixes and orphaned basement projects comes crashing down.

"And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway"

@Nonilex Obviously they need the military to protect the thugs against armed resistance, which i would expect at some point if they go about it like they did in LA.

With everyone freaking out about how Microsoft is now saying the quiet part out loud re: GitHub being a repository that exists mainly so they can train Copilot on its contents, I think it's important to mention that Microsoft also owns NPM.

@Bookworm33333 @emptywheel.bsky.social Those types are I.T.C.H.I.N.G. to get the gun bag.

@CuratedHackerNews Maybe they can come back when they change their name (da fuq is BCA Chefs? Learn camelCasing ffs...) and their attitude...

@petergleick Why else would they allocate THAT budget if not to subdue the entire US like that.

100k+ salary and 40k joining bonus @ ICE? it's hard to scream "bribe the dunces" (or rather "buy the dangerous ones") any louder than that.

@GottaLaff ...because Shitler had enough yes-men installed on all layers. Not like you and everyone else wasn't warning about it...

@GottaLaff I could imagine one thing for the Natl Guard to do in this situation - go against the actual Criminals of Washington DC and remove Trump + enablers(!) from their office.

@zomboof.bsky.social ...in a remote location with no witnesses...

@jeffjarvis Oh nice, now they make AIs that believe they know but don't... awesome!
/s

@wdlindsy That's quite the elaborate way of saying "Trump supporters are sociopathic assholes", but glad we're finally arriving there...

@cazabon @foone That ain't anything micro anymore.

Also 116kb/s? Who's basement is that located in?

Or maybe it's just some phone abandoned behind a park bench...

@verdantsquare The conscientiousness of the slaves, especially the young ones, is in freefall. It must be those damn phones!

@DemocracyMattersALot Rothschild ostensibly put it bluntly: "When the streets run red with blood, it's time to buy."

Another huge transfer of property from people to parasites. Best accomplished during another recession, preferably with a good measure of inflation...
