BAN ON CONVERSION PRACTICES IN THE EU. GO SIGN IT. DEADLINE IS FUCKING MAY 17. WE'RE STILL MISSING 800.000

God I hate how normalized not being in control of your own devices has become. My phone updates in the middle of the night without asking me shit or getting my consent for anything and its like "Oh hi I'm your new AI, please enjoy this forced overlay that you can't exit out of until you go through my tutorial"

"Great fuck you, I would like to uninstall you" "Oh I'm sorry you can't uninstall me! I'm a core system application and if you uninstall me your phone won't function correctly despite the fact that I did not exist yesterday and your phone worked fine" "....." "You can disable parts of my functionality but I will always be here and I will pop up notifications asking you to re-enable me unless you figure out how to disable those too! Then I will still show up in a different color at the top of your settings application telling you that you need to 'fix" a 'problem' with your phone, that problem being that I am disabled. Does that help?"

Like, you know what I can do on my desktop? "sudo pacman -Rdd linux" , this will just fucking remove the entire linux kernel. Fundamentally breaking my computer until I boot up a live disk and chroot in and reinstall it or whatever, and the computer will go "Are you sure (y/n)" or whatever and i'm like "y" and it will just go "Ok you got it boss"

But its mine, I get to do what I want with it. I control the computer, the computer does not control me. I refuse to cede control to my phone or anything else. The thing is a lot of people will joke that like "Oh I love just letting the machine tell me what to do, I don't know what I'm doing, it knows best" or whatever but the thing you have to realize is that when you say that you are abstracting away that "the phone" or whatever is not some value neutral logic driven robot like from sci-fi, it is a collection of the the capitalistic and fascistic desires of the tech oligarch fuckwits that are burning the world to the ground right now. You aren't submitting to the phone, you are submitting to Musk, Bezos, Nadella, Pichai, Cook and all those other evil bastards.

Fuck them, fuck their little AI toys, and fuck this.

fat, thick and with multiple ports

Love this, we do really need more frogs

(in my mind, they are dividing as cells into more and more types of frogs((sorry, just trying color here)))

hey don't cry. 7,401 species of frog in the world, ok?

in 2019, i crashed my bike, and since then have adamantly refused to drive a bike even for a second. today i lent out a bike and drove 50km without breaks all because i saw a sign that said "are you up for a challenge?" with a little map under it, and now my legs feel a way that makes me understand why horses get shot. all i am saying is this is why people like me shouldn't be unemployed

i love this post so fucking much

And this, friends, is why the AI boom may end following the path of the Metaverse boom and the NFT boom.

Just started Dungeon Meshi and I wanna be him sooo bad. Exactly the same as with Tatsu from Gokushufudo.

I just wanna cook and do things out of pure joy of doing them and look badass while doing it :'(

They are the best, and if some of you are watching Dungeon Meshi and haven't seen Gokushufudo, go watch it now!
