luis villa, who as a lawyer really should have known better, being self-reportedly a friend of behdad and a confabulation/war machine promoter decided to come to rescue, calling the above (a) attack, and (b) slander.

obvious take is obvious

yeah, that was too much to expect

perhaps the fact that claude was used in war planning will give them a pause.

you’re misreading the room.

call out his confabulation machine usage, and the block will be quick

my apologies, i tend to visually stereotype stalinists very badly.

i’m all for abolishing copyright on the first day after we have introduced mechanisms that allow the artists to actually earn decent money from ther work taking into account the specifics of the work. and no, UBI doesn’t count.

it is so nice to see the hard-mustachioed leftists to think that real labour happens only at a steel mill (because even kolkhozy aren’t real enough for them to care about the freedom of movement of the peasants.)

so, dude’s a stalinist (and let me repeat myself) and dumb as fuck. i fucking love the totalitarian left, in so many aspects undistinguishable from any other type of totalitarian gobshite.

intellectual elite my arse.

being a member of the old boy club beats ideological differences.

happy to hear it!

one or two minor snags I still need to solve (such as back-kill-word not working in search, just haven’t looked into it yet)

there’s a separate key config for search mode which may give you what you need.

that kinda tracks the type of replies @corbin@awful.systems is seeing to his lobsters challenge, doesn’t it?

it’s funny to contrast his lobsters comment to his banter on bluesky, where he’s feels less constrained to be plain nasty (nora’s blog is sephiroth-posting, nora has an axe to grind etc. etc.)

just to note that reportedly the palantir employees are for whatever reason going through a massive “hans, are we the baddies” moment, almost a whole year into the second trump administration.

as i wrote elsewhere, those people need to be subjected to actual social consequences of choosing to work with and for the u.s. concentration camp administration office.

we don’t care, we don’t need to, we’re the token company

ronacher is just the dude who couldn’t understand why people call dhh a fascist after dhh wrote his fourteen-words-in-longform blog about london. (paraphrasing: sure, he said, that’s not a good blog, but why would people say such terrible words about dhh.)

kat marchán goes by she/they fwiw.

jesus fuck.

nothing formal, but the backlash to criticism is becoming absolutely disproportionate: for example, the person who made the list of slopware, kat marchán, was bullied off the social media by the slop merchants. this looks eerily similar to the right-wing braying about cultural war, where they call harassment any critique of their positions, and call a reasonable critique any harassment they do themselves.

(and just very recently the always very nice CTO and co-founder of the oxide company, a major rust shop, decided that shaming the promoters of the confabulation machines is not to be done at the company.)
