I've always thought of linux as a vaguely commie thing but it seems like a) there were more libertarians in there than I thought, b) using linux appeals to some very right wing freaks who don't like the idea of not being in total control, and c) there's a right wing computer culture promoted by online influencers to nerdy young men, not dissimilar to right wing gamer culture.

The above site is hosted on neocities. I've been involved in the small web/personal web/indie web for a while (almost 6 years now, Jesus) and I knew there's a more right wing side to it but I hadn't come across it much (except for digdeeper linked to above, whose online privacy guides I read and took seriously before he started posting about Covid and I realized he was a conspiracy theorist). Then recently I found a neonazi's site on neocities through a Christian webring* and spent a while looking around in morbid fascination.

*You can't join if you support abortion or gay people, but apparently they don't check to make sure you're not a Nazi. I'm tempted to set up a competing webring for Christians with normal views....

Futrelle was an AI guy for a bit, weirdly.

Genuinely don't understand how dependent these people are on AI. "I'll generate an image of a skeleton at a bus stop" one of them said (it was relevant). I'll go to Google images, I said. It's faster! And you don't end up with a mangled version of the Dublin Bus logo!

I'm doing this shitey online optional module for my college course because I left it too late to pick a proper one, and Christ in heaven people are using a lot of AI. This is meant to be a class about sustainability

I know zilch about linux but I think there was some discussion in here about suckless. Well look at what I came across on an honest to god nazi's website*:

*yes, I have reported this site to their web hosting provider.

We wanted to be able to hold a job without reciting DEI shibboleths or filling in multiple-choice exams about how white people cause earthquakes. Instead we got a thousand scientific studies cancelled because they used the string “trans-” in a sentence on transmembrane proteins.

If you were too racist to see the wood for the trees, that's your problem comrade! Well, actually it's everyone's problem now.

She's entitled to a "default mode of victimhood"! She is your victim!

"poor people have had it too good for too long and slavery is the only answer. I consider myself a pragmatic centrist"

The solution for people in extreme poverty with zero access to healthcare is to get them healthcare, not to boil oceans so that silicon valley people can get rich from giving them disastrously bad medical advice.

• Find a Community Health Centre in the USA

• Health Poverty Action

• Where There Is No Doctor

That's because there is no "movement" and the whole thing is a stunt to promote the ideas of the least thoughtful of all the unthoughtful people who nonetheless consider themselves intellectuals.

They bought this house and the one next door for $575,000; they allow their neighbours to live in the second house rent free, in exchange for childcare.

Seems normal !

OH WOW WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS
