No, I mean it. If you’d indulge me, I’d love to know more about your background, how you’ve ended up this way.

Now you’re usin’ your noodle.

I wish I could be as disconnected from the reality of whats happening around us as these people seem to be, genuinely envious.

I would have less anxiety, for a start.

Wow. You’re cooked.

I’d love to know more about your life, your living situation… how you got this way.

Have you considered that money is speech tho?

Mmm butlerian jihad, it is calling me.

Personally, I’m glad they’re almost dead.

Suits were a consequence of the professionalization of what would otherwise be trade workers. Most of those that put on suits didn’t get to get a union, either.

A software developer is a machine monkey, just in air conditioning and no grease under their nails. For some god damn reason they have to wear a collar and tie. This pushed most of the devs with career mobility to reject that and you get the sandles-and-t-shirt techbro stereotype.

Suits are too expensive to get tailored and off-the-shelf ends up looking a bit tragic on the majority that are compelled to wear 'em.

Short of a botnet

Well, yeah. Or a browser extension that can be circulated.

Generating images and video are hella computationally expensive. requesting it to make millions of junk images will make a non-zero economic impact.

Its also why sora got killed off.

The carbon intensity wont make the product go away, but the economic cost will.

flipside: Using it costs elon money.

we should be attacking his wallet by asking Grok more banal questions.

Damn it, I didn’t come here to learn! You tricked me into learning something!

Please inform yourself of the adjacency of lobbyist centers and capital hill.

Politicians don’t write shit, they get given frameworks and proposals from lobbyists and “industry leaders”, sometimes they get made into law directly without edit, especially when it comes to smaller ordinances.

There are designated handlers from the larger lobby groups for designated politicans and congress-critters.

They should wear jumpsuits like nascar, maybe you and the public would understand it better.

Edit: Looking at the rest of your replies you’re getting downvoted to oblivion for denying reality.

I just want consumer electronics to be fun and ethical again.

I want bright semi-transparent interchangable plastics and everything to use the same fastener (I’ll give them a pass on screw lengths, though if they were being bros they’d use different colours of locktite or paint pen on each length.

Society wont heal until semi-transparent colourful plastics are everywhere on consumer products again.

pfft sure buddy enjoy your binary logs

You’re adding piles of nonsense ontop of nonsense.

None of it actually gets you closer to your objective.

Reduce and simplify. k8s and whatever the hell it is you’re doing is very much the opposite of that. enjoy yaml hell.

bro just run the fucking container.

That sounds heavy and complicated. Terraform + plain docker is super easy and makes the machines trivial to replace, as well redeploying updating their containers without downtime.

And I don’t have to learn a damn thing about systemd’s nonsense. Nor do I have to learn a single bit of k8s yaml braindamage.

They’re not useful tools.

its all a pissing contest between people we really aught to hang from the rafters… The consequences of their pissbaby behaviour is ours to bare.

We should be making soup out of them.

Yaknow, now that I know its tightly coupled to systemd I especially don’t care about podman. Thank you genuinely for resolving any curiosity about it, however.

I’m just hearing “fascism is government and business” and then some nonsense skydaddy speak.

I don’t understand you, old man.
