  • Not just that, companies are using “smart” devices as AI scraper botnets to utilize private, basically unbanable IPs. There are only very few companies who I might believe them not doing it (AllenAI and maybe Mistral - tell me if I’m proven wrong pls). But OpenAI, Anthropic, fucking Google and Meta, they all treat your network as their personal internet extension. It’s reasonable to assume any “Smart” device with wifi access that isn’t FOSS most likely being your enemy.

    Our family Nextcloud already got taken down by OpenAI swarming it… overloaded and crashed php-fpm within a minute. At least one client blasting all endpoints still advertised themselves as OpenAI crawler.

    You took my reply way too seriously.

    I’m not a historian so I can’t really debate this. Of course Hitler was selectively pro-life, the whole nazi shit is exactly that (and why many back then didn’t want to see what happened initially - after all the Nazis gave white people “Kraft durch Freude” and holidays for their first time). Same crap happens in the USA right now, and of course many other countries. Though fortunately for democratic US-citizens still fighting the Trump regime is far less competent than the OG Nazis.

    “kid-friendly” is a term encompassing all kids though. If you’re unfriendly to some kids you’re not kid-friendly. This applies to nazis, racists, religious assholes, ableists etc. all alike.


  • Why does this remind me of the common argument made against democracy and for e.g. China… “it moves fast, less resistance, faster results”…

    And yet it’s still worse.

    The whole argument doesn’t hold up either. Your company - or the people behind it, if it’s new - just can’t be known as the usual profit-driven asshole. I mean, look at how the relations between the Community and Valve is. Nobody would argue Valve being perfect, but they’re known not to be the usual assholes and thereby cautiously welcome.

    If you or your company can’t deal with society being vigilant (especially in capitalism) then they’ve no place in said society. This vigilance is the only reason Linux still feels made for the user(advanced ones, but still). Fuck anyone who wants to destroy that with means of accelerationism and alike.

    DHH and Omarchy are just cultural cancer. What you correctly described is basically one aspect of how unfettered capitalism manipulates people and destroys healthy communities for the sake of growth.






  • You just need to choose to live in an appropriate location.

    Again, it’s a choice.

    You just need to relocate, find affordable housing (lol), find a new job at that new place, convince your partner, potentially rip away your kids from their environment, move far away from family and friends, find a completely new social circle and then you’ll finally be able to live car-free! Except all the times you’ll now have to rent one.

    Like, seriously? It is not always just a choice, you’re just god damn privileged to be easily able to move. Let alone to a pricy place with quality infrastructure.



  • live in a small space heated with a heat pump

    Their thin walls cause this to only be a tiny improvement I’d wager (still the best option though). They can even punch holes in their walls, if I tried this with a german drywall I’d break all the bones in my hand.

    but I suspect your nation is simply too wealthy to hit the target

    This implies environmental protection contradicts wealth (as in “lots of money in one n̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ regional administrative zone”), a common conservative lie. It doesn’t, unfettered capitalism does. E.g. the solar business makes fucking bank but is a net positive on the environment. So are lots of other businesses. The definition of wealth is fucked anyway.
