They’re currently fucking with the regulations that require disabled people to be able to live in community housing. We’ll see the return of institutions and ugly laws soon enough.

What a terrible fucking waste for a terrible fucking product. Burning our habitat to the ground so some tech billionaires can cosplay their pseudoreligious delusions

A lot of the people doing it aren’t even rich anymore. It’s a Ponzi scheme of influencers vying for social capital that can’t actually be cashed in for anything

Reminder that people with ADHD are regularly falsely flagged as not paying attention by eye tracking software. This camera shit is not only creepy and invasive. It likely doesn’t work well and has an ableist bias.

Yeah I haven’t been able to afford them for a hot minute

Tumblr sounds wild

Do we have any actual documentation of anybody who might be called a ‘gimp’ actually being offended by the name?

You want documentation that gimp is offensive? Go call your boss a gimp. They’ll give you some documentation. Feel free to share it here.

Gimp does not refer to people with movement disabilities. It stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program.

Pretending to not understand when an acronym spells a word is a new one to me. Maybe you should be writing bill names for congress.

Or is this just more performant bullshit?

I dunno about you, but last time I used it, gimp was pretty performant.

See? That’s me intentionally misunderstanding something obvious in order to ignore a point you’re making. See how transparent and ineffective it is?

I hope they really commit to this. Keep gimp as an option for the obstinate among us, but make wlbr the default. Gimp is, even to people who don’t recognize it as a slur, an informal and rude word and it makes it hard for people who already don’t care about open source to not just dismiss it out of hand when they hear that name.

I have been a staunch advocate of open source software at my company and I promise you the vast majority of people do not know what gimp is.

The giant tube of pills feels relatable as I pick up meds for my wife and myself and there’s like a dozen bottles between us

Redemption tour in the next year or two. He’ll be filling the role of Liz Cheney in 2028 if he doesn’t outright run as a Democrat. Imagine a Newsome-Carlson ticket after Carlson has successfully genuflected for a couple years about how much he regrets Trump and hates Israel.

Capitalists don’t exist. Capitalists can’t hurt… wait…

It’s always seemed like negative attention seeking to me. Pretty much bullying with the facade of “compliments”

This image looks very different from the last time I saw it

I want one so fucking bad. I understand I have to pay fucking double for one, but are any of them cleared to be on American roads?

Throwing rocks is “catty”? First time I’ve heard that one

“I’ll just have it make a Hello World to validate my workflow”

“Oh no”

They know they have to do something to make sure the rest of Europe doesn’t follow suit and heavy handed aggression is the only tool in their toolbox

1. The amount of money spent on NASA is negligible compared to the MIC
2. Human intuition about what STEM stuff is useful is very poor. The basis for your ability to securely do online banking is a quirky little number theory equation that was useless for centuries. Or think about the reactionary complaints about “they’re paying scientists to study cat urine” or whatever. Those studies typically have a practical reason for getting some and practical implications once they’re finished. Even the stuff that is practical looks impractical to the layperson. Space travel is very similar in that the technology it enables can have other uses.
3. Whoever figures out asteroid mining first is going to make a lot of fucking money
