Rogue Wit, The Revolutionary. We The People will not be bullied.

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

Ai bros hate artists because deep down they know they have no goals, no dreams, & nothing that they truly love. It’s a dark void that eats & gnaws at them so they lash out at those that have that spark. All they want is to drag you down with them to prove that it’s all hopeless

borg assimilation opt out

Radical idea: Government should stop policing my age and go back to making sure the food is safe to eat.

Indeed is the latest in the growing line of corporate data harvesters to write a, "you can't class-action me, bro!" into their ToS b/c there's so many data-breach class action lawsuits. All their 1st reactions are to remove their accountability, NOT to correct the real issue. That should scare you.

After seeing genAI game trailers appear even before Gamescom, I reached out to a few trailer editors to see how they feel about its use. Derek Lieu gave me this winner of a quote, among many others in the article.

the fact that a billionaire can randomly throw $100,000,000 into a campaign against taxing the rich seems like the best argument yet they can afford it

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

Better story than 100% of what's on any streaming services, TV, movie theater...

Can't say it enough: Money talks. Speak with your wallet. Stop funding villainy.

AI (Algorithmic Incompetence) proving yet again that it is purpose-built for nefarious deeds.

[On being asked: What song would you like played at your funeral?] "I Will Remember You, by Sarah McLachlan. That'll choke the bastards up if nothing else will."--Sam Neill Here's looking at you, Sam... youtu.be/nSz16ngdsG0?...

Thinking how at the end of the Star Wars trilogy an entire galaxy celebrates the death of the emperor without a finger wagging coda where a sad-eyed long haired scold in bespoke clothing warns that this reduces everyone to the same level as the genocidal tyrant who got tossed into a laser shaft.

Celebrate the removal of obstacle and opposition. Be grateful to whatever deity answered your prayers. Don't celebrate the death if you wouldn't celebrate the Dead. Spend that energy on the next unanswered prayer, set of obstacles, the next impossible feat we will overcome.

I hope everyone just had a great 3 day weekend after a short 4 day workweek. Amazingly the world didn’t end, the economy didn’t shutdown, there isn’t anarchy in the streets. Normalize a permanent 4 day workweek immediately.

NOTICE that companies that are irresponsible with your data on their BEST day are changing their TOS to prevent you any recourse when they eff up & sensitive data gets out. To put it bluntly: They are all sick of paying us all $6 - $35 every time there's a class action data breach suit filed.

This constitutes domestic abuse. Break the cycle. Eliminate your abuser.

The failure of AI in a nutshell:

WTF... @Google... Gooigle?!?

Solicitors on Segways. Dude riding a segway door-to-door trying to sell bug spray in an Edition that has SEVERAL No Soliciting signs posted. If you're not smart enough to know what soliciting means, I'm not dumb enough to answer my door. Gave me great joy as he argued with my doorbell loiter-bot.

I'll repeat...

@Spamcop, I ASSURE you the messages I'm forwarding ARE SPAM, despite your error response, the fact that Google will not leave it marked as such, & the fact that I've attempted to unsubscribe from those messages multiple times. If you aren't going to police spammers, stop calling yourselves cops.

I got tired of repeating myself, so here's a couple of shirts so I don't have to keep saying it: tee.pub/lic/uqKii_9-...

After spending most of two years using searx as a search engine, I was forced to resort to using Google to search for a solution to something I was working on and holy moly if @Google isn't starting to heavily resemble what happened to Yahoo.

This should be a battle cry to support actual libraries. In fact, this should be incentive to keep the older Kindles, scavenge as many as possible, lock them in airplane mode, load them up with books and donate enough to libraries to loan out fully curated collections for borrowers to enjoy.

Worth noting that the first part of the first sentence does not at all lead logically to its end. The fact that "A.i." is becoming more widespread does NOT mean educators must learn to "integrate it as a tool." Educators could in fact REJECT IT ENTIRELY.

I'm so confused... With all the ridiculous bullshite that's really going on in the really real... Are we supposed to prank with ACTUAL solutions, news, and logic today?

I have taken a long, piercing look around at the state of things and I can say with absolute confidence: As a 30+ year IT Professional, I'm far better at neurosurgery than any of our current leaders are at leading.

Does it work properly? No. Are the people making it acting in good faith? No. Have they ensured it can't be used maliciously? No. Does it make people's lives better? No. Will it make people's lives better? No. Is it profitable? No. Is it popular? No. Is it harmless? No. The argument for AI.

<Heavy sigh> LinkedIn is now actively dropping email replies to messages. It's been hard enough to find gainful employment without shitty, broken platforms.

First domino to fall. Fingers crossed for it to start a chain reaction.

I'm glad I got to enjoy gaming in the era before you needed a $7,000 rig to redraw frames and generate slop frames to hit 62 fps in a AAA game.

Heavy sigh... @ potential employers and HR people responsible for posting jobs: REMOTE means work from ANYWHERE. If there's a location requirement... It's not remote. On-premises means at the office. On-site is 100% at the client. In-field is traveling between multiple clients. Know your job.

To the attention of the @criticalrole.bsky.social legal team & CR artists: on @displate.com there's people selling stolen CR fanart and even official CR art, like the posters by Matteo Scalera, @laurenwalshart.bsky.social, comic covers by @chamonkee.bsky.social & others: displate.com/search?q=cri...

#WhatTheyDoNotWantYouToKnow The Ides of March is upon us. If we hadn't let them erase our history, there would be enough of us who remember the significance of today that ALL of them should be extremely nervous.

Need proof that AI in its current form is BAD? NO ONE should be able to wield it like this. newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

And Linux Gaming shoots itself in the foot. Lutris breaking open source trust will set Linux back a little. Guess we won't be gaming on Lutris in the foreseeable future. www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/03/lutr...

III Days. The Ides doth approach. Rome fell to end tyranny. Just saying.

#ThingsTheyDoNotWantYouToKnow Rome fell because her leaders forgot there were more of us than them. IV days...

"Rage against the dying of the light..." Dylan Thomas

Revolutionary at work.

#OptOut If Vampires are real, we are all screwed. Since we live in a society that presumes it is okay to show up unsolicited and be annoying unless one opts out, vampires and other creatures of the night can presume they're invited... Thus rendering one powerless against them.
