I'm not convinced that people, yes even the bad ones, wake up, get out of bed, and think to themselves "let's do evil today". Rather, I think people tell themselves lies about how their actions are morally justified for some greater good, or at least remain willfully ignorant (i.e. psychopaths), or just complicit in a rotten system (passive bystanders).

I can't relate with this feeling of wanting to "troll people on Reddit" at all. Are you conjoined at the hip with them? Is your identity defined by your relationship with them?

Cut them out. Try some scissors.

My experience with TP-link matter devices is you need a TP-Link account authentication. Excuse me? Fuck off TP link. I only want local-first devices.

Same.

And all we got instead was that moron Elon. Sigh.

There is no justice in the US right now. Why bother holding this person accountable when we can't even hold the highest position in the land accountable for their crimes. The social fabric is unraveling.

The 2017 one was based. All the other ones are a big fat meh, especially the 2024 one.

Those who make peaceful protest impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

Also, the media cheered the killing of terrorists. Get off your hypocritical high fucking horse. Clearly there is a line where killing is deemed acceptable.

The tech behind chatGPT is no more useful for that kind of decision than an apple peeler. Humans have been dupped to think that LLMs resemble intelligence.

Information is not truth. A do or die slogan for the 21st century.

No, no, you are supposed to eat the glue.

The system is a product of each and everyone of us...

Except the rich and powerful have disproportionate control over perpetuating how the system works.

So fuck it it. No. You are dead wrong. This isn't just the system. This is a few entrenched interests continuing to oppress everyone else. And I think this way of thinking is part of the way that broken system is perpetuated.

The rich and powerful control the narrative. They use that narrative to craft stories to keep people's anger and extremism directed inwards.

This isn't some great mystery. It's just the reality of what tyranny actually looks like.

I am one of those. I ditched Signal and went back to the stock sms app and adopted matrix. Haven't looked back since. The reality is that Signal dropping support for sms wasn't going to stop me from using SMS. For that, other people need to be convinced to stop using it at the same time. Signal didn't have nearly the market size needed to make that happen. And now that card is played, and nothing has changed. Signal is just another messaging app among hundreds. At least matrix offers a real paradigm shift.

Headphones do all this already. No mind control is a nice little benefit too.

Just another day in the post-truth age. This and much more awaits in a society that allows a handful of algorithms unfettered editorial control over what people think.

First we learned that idiocracy was a documentary. Now we are learning that Minority Report was a documentary too.

Damn, what a time to be alive.

Something tells me the last thing diehard MAGAs want is another California.

Working in a team, means you have to be able to work with other people. It's just a functional requirement of any such job. I get the impression that you are in denial about this reality.

Should you "come clean" with future employers? Yes. Be honest about what you can or can't do and set boundaries. That also means being honest with yourself about what the job requirements really are. You will continue to be miserable if you don't do these things.

Dared create an account on an instance administered by controversial people, to say the least.

Personally, I couldn't care less about the user names. Ad hominems are worthless, even if certain servers have certain tendencies. At the end of the day, only the substance of the argument, and whether it passes critical thought, matters. Information isn't truth. Information is worthless.

Nothing "safe" about making completely unappealing games.
