Agreed. It's so wildly incongruent with who he is. All bark, no bite.

Also: wishing violence against Trump is to me the greatest evidence of hopeless neoliberal confusion.

Don't like him? Offer an alternative. I don't want Trump dead, I want Medicare for all, a child tax credit, and a 30 hour work week. That's what gets rid of fascism: a new democratic social contract. Folks who focus on Trump have lost the plot.

To be fair, that wasn't really her primary issue. Her primary principle was catering to donors and trying to protect the Democratic party from socialism. Which she did.

Enabling the genocide was just a means to that larger end. But the result it's the same.

Damn that's a pretty hard turn for Comey.

Kind of a nuts thing to do. If you mean it, do it yourself big man. Otherwise stfu.

Seconded.

I really liked the garage suit we saw in Wakanda Forever. I didn't care for the upgrade later on the film. I wish so hard we could see more of a truly hacked together suit in this show.

Personally, I think it'd be cool to show power armor that is far less powerful, too. Daredevil is no where near as strong as Spider-Man, but he's still cool. I hate the power level game comics always play. I like believability. Give me a character with 5x strength and super jumps instead of 500x and supersonic speed. That's a way more interesting character to me.

But hey: if we get bulkier suits and leave the nanotech at home I'll call it a win.

I think this post is a cope.

You might be 100% right. But that wouldn't change the fact that you're focusing on the individual in a story about trends, and I think you're doing so because doing so is a way to avoid engaging with the larger point of the article.

Tech work isn't safe. No work is really safe these days. It doesn't even matter if AI can do your job well. It is just a facet of a project to devalue labor and disempower laborers. And that project is going really well! No matter how good you are at your job, none of us can "merit" our way out of that project.

I'm great at my job, and my job is very AI proof. But that doesn't protect me from the fact that my company is looking for ways to gigify the work and hire contract workers from among highly paid laid off scientists and engineers to take over little easy parts of my job. They'll concentrate the hard parts, of my job and yours, and reorganize it until it's as modular as possible, and raise our workloads without increasing our pay until they can make it hard enough to say we're not doing it fast enough.

No chatbot will replace me in the next 10 years. But my company doesn't need them to in order to limit my bargaining power! They're fostering an ecosystem of abundant cheap, fungible atomized workers so they will never have to bid for your labor or worry about you being irreplaceable.

All of us need to get wise to the con. We need universal incomes, universal services, universal healthcare, universal housing. We need a guaranteed safety net that is high enough that everyone has the ability to turn down bad jobs. Even the people you think suck at their jobs.

You cannot escape this by dismissing any laid off worker as too slow to keep up. Because this is a team event. And the bosses are on the other team.

Huh! That's very interesting. And good points.

I think that over time, my tastes and Disney's have seemed to diverge. That can cut both ways. It's possible for Disney to release what they think is the new hotness and for me to be underwhelmed (hot take: I thought Thunderbolts* was mid), but also for them to release a project that doesn't fit well into the big narrative arc that I happen to love (hot take: The Eternals was actual cinema and it's a shame people didn't appreciate it).

I think you're right. If it was good, they would've released it. They're probably going to try and hope that Ryan Coogler's recent success (Sinners) can carry it, but it probably is a bloated mess. Still: if Dominique Thorne has talent and shows it, I'll consider it a win. People dissed Wakanda Forever, but overall I liked it and thought she has promise. She was cocky as hell, and I liked that.

Fingers crossed.

Can you elaborate?

Do you think it's going to suck, or just die from lack of promotion?

I think it looks pretty good. But this is the first trailer I've seen. I'm kind of hoping it's just really good, and turns out to be a sleeper hit. I'm a fan of the character and have been looking forward to this since Wakanda Forever.

Yo I self host a Nextcloud server and I don't know what an apk is. Please stop being a gatekeeper. Grandma Ruth deserves alternatives to big tech just like the rest of us.

All freedom to all the people. These tools aren't supposed to be some special privilege for 1337 hackers. They should be ubiquitous.

I don't think that's true.

I don't think livestreaming your whole life is healthy or desirable, but I don't see finding friends who are cool with it to be an obstacle. There are plenty of other Twitch streamers at the very least who are down with this stuff. And she lives in Austin. Why not have a couple of buddies to go on jogs with or play basket ball or cook with? I just don't see how that would be hard to do.

I don't feel like this article answered my questions well.

Ditto.

Wtf, man. Hit "Publish" when you're ready to say something.

Also, I think a lot could be done to improve this problem just be recognizing the existing institutions that were serving this role that have been severely hampered.

Trusted local news can do a lot. We should find subsidy models that support those.

(I wonder if that's there brilliant idea. Either that or a superintelligent LLM that magically provides an infallible source of indisputable truth.)

I'm curious if she was interviewed over text or of she streamed it.

Also, why is she so alone? Can't you have any friends over for board games while doing this?

It sounds genuinely fucked up.

Did you find fault with their sourcing after watching, or just dismiss it unseen because of its platform?
