mozilla is having another wee purge on the foundation side

this shit reads exactly like corporate raider playbook

behind the bastards has also recently done two episodes on the clown, if you want to learn more things you’ll hate

don’t forget stock control on the [flag] cupboard

it’s also hilarious just how much the sentence structure is a shining beacon indicating sockpuppeting

wonder how many orange posters will eat this shit up uncritically because they’re too used to their shitty filters not shoving this shit out the door

cultural NOBUS is a hell of a drug

so, to recap

first you make a nonsensical “rhetorical” statement that’s fairly easily answered by actually just reading the many works of published analyses of the dynamic. someone replies to this comment in a manner attempting to gently hint to you that the answers you seek may be found in a specific direction if but only you did a bit of learning

you decide to reply to this with quite some attitude (frankly, a post easily characterized as “rudely demanding”). another (myself) attempts to ever so gently call that out, which you then to moderate credit express some curiousity to, and again you are given a mild (in-character to your very post) guideline

and your next response is the equivalent of an internet tantrum

how, exactly, do you think this will help?

ponder whether automatic brightness control is equivalent to seeking enlightenment

honestly this sounds like the worst trip possible

when first the student asked, perplexed and purposeless, the master said nothing. when next the student asked deliberate, light shone but not through the doorway. the student left to reflect, and was enlightened

evidently

starting to feel like my eye carries an albatross curse 😅

There’s been a moderate tsunami of “AI EVERYTHING” in a bunch of production tools lately too. Most I’ve seen have looked like just rebranding the further development of previously existing algorithmic tools, but there have also been a couple principally from the “we trained on everything possible!” camp

unsurprising that someone’s fallen over themselves to integrate the llm-style synthesis into the pipeline too, although it’s still extremely exhausting

the cultural fallout of this is going to suuuuuck. it’s going to be so much worse than receiving the dancing baby from your weird relatives in 2008

Run Blade, the prequel

what was the point of this post

okay wait there’s one possible failure mode in this reference which we might have to consider

“tapping the api”

checks out

“you just don’t understand me!” wails the sealion at the door

“have you got tap?” / “can i tap?” is a common local verbiage here

(also “got snapscan?” but that’s more popular in some cities than others, depending how much inroads snapscan has made)

(we also still have a fairly healthy cash market)

god I was wondering how to express this, and you nailed it

(the other thing that came to mind was all those “femoids” quotes that came up in (iirc) münecat’s manosphere video)

probably because the vagueposting in the top half of your comment wasn’t actually clearly stating what it meant, and the latter half suffers from internet-stalking-horse incorrect conclusionism

just a guess tho.
