I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that one #Elon is enough for the world to cope with. We don’t need another LEO (Low Earth Orbit) polluter.

#techbros are absolutely fucking insufferable. Just saying.
The racism inherent within Reddit forced me, a white dude, off in revulsion 10 years ago...since then of course, it has only got worse. 😡
How can somebody be racist about playing Sim City4? Oh Reddit will find a way! 🤢
White House Did Have Secret Epstein Talks
Gen Z men voted for Trump to drain 'the swamp.' After Epstein, they feel duped.

Fucking tech bros, man. Some stupid group of tech bros has claimed responsibility for organizing the throwing of dildos onto WNBA basketball courts during games, to claim attention. He said, "It was more or less like an opportunistic approach to, you know, what is already trending. Where is there already controversy and how do we intercept some of that attention?"
What morons they are, and what idiots are those who buy this shit, making the morons rich for childish pranks. Unfortunately, this is the kind of "intelligence" (cunning, conning) that we have come to respect as the USian way.
"Please refrain from breathing out in my general direction. Or you could just put a mask on."
Dude walks out. OK.
May he get long covid disabilities or die from selfishness.
He is an IT ableist 🤮

#JinJiyanAzadi #BijiRojava Explainer: The Syrian Democratic Council – A proposal for a democratic Syria [UPDATES]
The Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) is a political assembly representing political parties and organizations in North and East Syria. The SDC creates a political framework for the governance of Syria along a decentralized, federal model. It is the political body to which the SDF reports. It is also the political counterpart to the Autonomous Administration, which takes on more administrative and executive functions. Negotiations with the Syrian government, as well as diplomatic relations with international powers, are generally conducted through the SDC...

❝ the people who make #fascism possible are not the hard-core minority of true believers. it’s the majority of corruptible cynics who will do anything for a buck.

Tim Cook is another fascist white gay man; but, unlike Gay Hitler, he’s a fascist out of pure greed.
Here, Elena Rossini explains Why and How she is purging #BigTech out of her life. While she readily admits she is not totally free of it, she has gone a long way. She has a blog where she talks about her journey to #Freedom from #Technofeudalism and calls out the hypocracy of some #TechWriters along the way。
“I watched a brilliant TED Talk by journalist Carole Cadwalladr about the broligarchy titled “this is what the digital coup looks like.” Shortly thereafter I discovered that Cadwalladr is using Substack (the Nazi-friendly newsletter platform funded by the broligarchs at A16Z) for her blog; her social media platform of choice is Bluesky (funded by crypto bros at Blockchain Capital). Sadly Cadwalladr has no social profiles on the Fediverse and isn’t using - as far as I know - any FOSS platforms to publish her reporting. This feels incredibly incongruous.”
It’s well worth a read. And for those still ‘fenced in’ by commercial social platforms, she offers hope and some ways to ditch them.
Personally, My tie to #TechBros #oligarchy is Gmail (though not for much longer as I am mostly migrated off). Otherwise, I’m on Signal and an Australian hosted mail server (until that one starts getting ideas I won’t agree with). My blog is about to transfer to a platform based in Australia for less $$ (of @shlee fame - I’m gettting there Shlee!) and getting off WordPress hosting (I’ll be using a #cpanel equiv #EnhanceDotNet.). My #Microsoft days are numbered with #LinuxMint on my other laptop ready to take over very soon. I’m still tied to Apple with my iPad (tooting away on it atm). My mobile is an old & cheap #Android device. My browser is #LibreWolf. My mail client is #Thunderbird .
Best thing that ever happened to me was to find out about the #Fediverse. I’ve never looked back from this, only forward.
I’m not going to lie, there is a cost to bear. I have lost digital links to all my friends and family (some overseas). But I’ve managed to keep those closest to me via other means (Face-to-face, phone calls, SMS, emails and Signal for those using it). Bottom line is, If am I going to #Rage against #TechBros, I should walk the talk as Elena Rossini is doing. So should you IMO.

we really have to overcome these monsters
#AI #religion #SiliconValley #TechBros
"In downtown Berkeley, an old hotel has become a temple to the pursuit of artificial intelligence and the future of humanity. Its name is Lighthaven.
Covering much of a city block, this gated complex includes five buildings and a small park dotted with rose bushes, stone fountains and neoclassical statues. Stained glass windows glisten on the top floor of the tallest building, called Bayes House after an 18th-century mathematician and philosopher.
Listen to this article with reporter commentary
Lighthaven is the de facto headquarters of a group who call themselves the Rationalists. This group has many interests involving mathematics, genetics and philosophy. One of their overriding beliefs is that artificial intelligence can deliver a better life if it doesn’t destroy humanity first. And the Rationalists believe it is up to the people building A.I. to ensure that it is a force for the greater good."
That's all well and good.
But both sides are equally awful.
Aren't they?
The one that overtly and aggressively promotes fascism.
And the one that does … that does not do that.
Both sides are equally problematic, right? So why this nattering about morality?

"[Thiel's ideology] is what Hannah Arendt called 'the banality of evil' in its most refined form: not the dramatic villainy of lesser monsters, but the systematic evacuation of moral weight from decisions affecting millions of lives. Thiel treats democracy like a venture capital portfolio, authoritarianism like a hedge fund position, human extinction like a fascinating thought experiment."

"We are witnessing the corruption of human thought itself—not by crude propagandists or obvious charlatans, but by a sophisticated ecosystem of oligarchs and their courtiers who have weaponized the very concept of expertise against the democratic discourse they claim to serve.
At the apex stands Peter Thiel, whose genuine brilliance serves a moral emptiness so complete it takes your breath away."

"There exists in Silicon Valley a particular species of intellectual fraud so brazen, so systematic, and so dangerous that it demands the kind of moral clarity that cuts through pretense like a blade through silk."
