I find this infuriating, and for one simple reason: #Microsoft won’t stop forcing #AI down the throats of its customers for any reason, much less some study they commissioned. #tech #CarnegieMellon #education #criticalthinking #capitalism #fascism gizmodo.com/microsoft…

Move fast and break shit shouldn’t be a thing one can do to a society… I’m just sayin’. #elonmusk #TFG #uspol #fascism #toxiccapitalism #americanoligarchy www.theverge.com/elon-musk…

I wasn’t aware that it took #Hitler 53 days to destroy #Germany’s #Democracy, but I wouldn’t be surprised if #TFG is following a similar process, what with #ElonMusk’s #Nazi salutes and blatantly illegal rampage through our governmental infrastructure. #uspol kottke.org/25/02/the…

Unfettered, uncontrolled, unregulated #Capitalism is essentially crime since they do what they want, say what they want, harm whomever they please, break any laws they choose, and are never held accountable. Those who help them are criminals, as well. #ai #piracy #books arstechnica.com/tech-poli…

Per usual, trying to ‘fix’ the symptom instead of working on the cause, isn’t working, not that peeps ever seem to learn that (or any other) lesson. We need fundamental change for social networking, not in-school phone bans. Better for all of us. #tech #mentalhealth mobile.slashdot.org/story/25/…

The violation of #American #democracy continues apace with #ElonMusk gyrating at the center of the criminal typhoon #TFG has unleashed on our country. And all of this felonious activity is neatly justified using grade-school gaslighting techniques by the GOP. #uspol kottke.org/25/02/mus…

Reason #WTF Cares to uninstall #Microsoft #Windows and migrate to #Linux or #Mac: Microsoft has now made it harder to install Windows 11 on unsupported but entirely capable hardware so, you know, screw you. Can’t afford new? Oh well. Sucks to be you! #tech #capitalism tech.slashdot.org/story/25/…

Both sad & hilarious, Kazuya Ishikawa’s “Salaryman Eraser” is goes bald with proper use, mirroring the difficult conditions Japanese business people face. Note that #Japan hasn’t updated the term to include the fairer sex yet. #capitalism #officesupplies kottke.org/25/01/jap…

Remember when you watched #Idiocracy and laughed at how absurd and over-the-top it was? Are you laughing now? #uspol #ElonMusk #TFG #fascism #capitalism #MAGA #FAFO www.salon.com/2025/01/3…

Yet another reason to abandon #Microsoft… The lunatics in Redmond are adding a $400 premium to Intel-powered #Surface devices that have the exact same specs are their #ARM-powered counterparts. Silly #Capitalism. #SwitchToLinux or get a #Mac. it.slashdot.org/story/25/…
