Only comic who was in all six seasons, no less.

There’s no stopping this disaster at this point. It was nice being the dominant species.

We now have definitive proof that human intelligence isn’t the net evolutionary positive we thought it was.

Dom Irerra was more open about his sexuality than a lot of the comics of his time, and it always made me respect him.

Rewatching Dr. Katz and thinking about the time period it was in, sometimes Dom feels absolutely subversive to the times.

His obsessive love for Dr. Katz is something a lot of men comics would have been afraid to commit to, even to this day.

People worship corps.

Exactly. I have services running with staggered automated updates/reboots to keep things stable. Since at least one of them is always available, it’s like having no down-time but with actual stability and redundancy.

Musk is loud and dumb so he gets most of the attention for this sort of shit but Zuckerberg seems calculatingly evil.

One way to avoid it is to prioritize GOG copies if they’re available. Since GOG has no DRM they tend to generally be untouched.

Jokes on you I’m using it to be disappointed in myself.

I have all my devices set to reboot once weekly a few hours after daily scheduled updates. I probably don’t need to do this, but I do. It’s a habit I got in with scheduling router reboots, and then started extending it to other devices. It’s nice to have some solid uptime, but I have three unbound DNS servers in sequence so they update and reboot on a staggered schedule so it’s like they never go down.

You never know when the odd cosmic ray is gonna hit and flip yer bits.

I literally had a friend breaking down over it and I suggested Fediverse alternatives and they looked at me like I had sprouted an extra head.

I even explained that US companies aren’t doing anything materially different than Tiktok (propaganda and spying on people), and they’re all bad. Still looking at me like I’m some kind of maniac.

Everyone bitches about corporations but so few want to actually stop sucking on their fucking teat.

Believe it or not, right to jail the pattern buffer.

You’d think at a certain point O’Brien would just start saving “copies” of the red-shirts and bring them back with the rest of the away team. Which would be doubly disconcerting if you think about it because their last memory would be beaming away with the away team since they wouldn’t have memories of dying.

True, but Tim Brenners-Lee is also on the board, and he historically has generally good takes on tech and politics.

People are often unwilling to go against the positions of the guy who created the World Wide Web.

This is just a reminder, the parallels between Trump and Hitler are many.

Trump hates drinking and smoking while Hitler also hated drinking and smoking.

If they represent what “sober” is, I’ll take any and all drugs mainlined into my veins till the end of time please and thank you.

Absurdism > Nihilism

Pouring soil on troubled waters!

Hope is also about perspective.

“Oh no, the world is being run by so many idiots who have no idea how anything works!” can be devastating or hopeful, depending on how you look at it.

You can either focus on the damage they can do, or you can focus on how their incompetence means they’re likely easier to unseat from positions of power than many think and that they constantly shoot themselves in the foot.

So what’s the point of it all?

To reduce wages.

Instead of using tech to reduce work and allow humans to thrive and make art, we use tech to make art and force humans into long hours of drudgery and repetitive bitch work just because CEOs like to watch other people suffer I guess.

So glad they can get groceries for a month.
