No one is looking to incite a civil war, even if many people on both sides fantasize about it. War is grueling and terrible and we are still too comfortable to risk it. BUT. I think preparing ourselves for the eventuality is wise. Really the best move we could make would be a general strike. It'd be a bloodless deathblow to this stupid stupid situation.

Honestly if we treated each other as well as we treated dogs we'd already be in paradise.
If we break Tesla, we break Elon. Keep the pressure on!
For sure. Not that we don't have problems, but corporate overlords mining our data or censoring us for political back scratching aren't among them. That's all imma trying to say.
Based on the comments, I'm not so sure. Louder for those in the back.
Bluesky is a for-profit company that is capitalizing on the Xodus. They may be better for the time being, but the march for more and more profit will end the same as it always does. Enshittification. They are not the good guys, the fediverse is.
Agreed. My beef is mostly with generative AI, which is deeply unethical in its training and implementation.
Yes and that is not sustainable, eventually you gotta pay the piper. At some point you have to be profitable. LLMs are great at a very limited use case, but these tech charlatans want to shove it everywhere for everything and it pisses most of us off. I can't imagine any regular person paying for it.
You're assuming there will be a next time. When the AI bubble bursts, and it will, the whole economy will go down with it. AI companies are massively in debt and have a product that ranges from utter shit to kinda okay, and absolutely no sane way to monetize it. Everyone outside of tech, you know, the customers, fucking hate AI. It has stolen their work, jeopardized their livelihoods, wasted their resources and made the most insufferable asshats in history very wealthy.
Harry Potter is already dead to me. Fuck JKR.
