Sam Altman is a piece of shit and I will celebrate when he fucking dies. I hope he knows. I hope he knows people want him fucking dead. I hope what little scraps of a soul he still has are screaming in despair.

Switched to linux a couple years ago. Been mostly fine. The day to day is a basic-ass plasma kde desktop. I power the machine on. Type my password. Open firefox, steam, etc. It’s fine.

One time after updating and foolishly following some “sudo apt stuff” to try to fix something preventing it from updating, it booted without a graphical environment, but reinstalling the nvidia drivers fixed that from the terminal. That was admittedly scary, but people in the discord were helpful.

I’d still rather have that kind of hiccup than support Microsoft.

Does your colleague have a solid definition of capitalism, communism, and socialism?

Stuff like “there are several organizations competing to sell you widgets but the organizations are owned by the workers instead of some faceless ghouls and far-away shareholders” sometimes doesn’t fit neatly into their model.

It can be an entry point into left wing thinking, because a lot of people resent management and other useless authorities.

Workers need to seize what they’ve built and send these c-suite goons out into the desert.

Good read.

I fuck around with Claude at work because there’s a mandate to do so, and it’s unsettling how it mimicks being a person. A lot of the parts are there. It would be easy to fall into that delusion.

It’s unsafe.

Oh funny I just wrote in another thread that I’m not going to buy Microsoft stuff, even though I used to be a big Diablo fan in my youth. Fuck em.
