To be clear…not asking for free labor and materiel, care to say a very limited budget so not terribly close to market rate. To be even more clear, I wouldn’t turn it down either in the spirit of building a culture of e-bike mutual aid projects 😅

That said I’m not so lacking in faith that I wouldn’t give it a shot. Anyone handy enough with 3d printers and software to help a struggling mutual aid operation utilize this program to design and print a battery case? youtu.be/c3awdrY2aMM @sundance.bikesky.social

how much do you guys pay in subscription fees?

my nuclear-grade AI hot take that’s sure to get me cancelled until kingdom come is that refusing to use AI at all is rapidly becoming an extremely privileged lifestyle choice that feels social justice-y while actually being the complete opposite

This is part of what I was getting at with the anti-labor quality of AI. It doesn't do anything, but it existence almost forces other people to labor in order to justify it. Its output is always slop until it is comprehended, which is a kind of labor.

Bruno Dies@brunodias.dev

the constant grind of semiotic violence from AI is so fucking exhausting man. read some text that doesn't say anything. look at some images that don't mean anything. here's some code I didn't write and quite possibly haven't run, presented as if it's a solution to a problem

“Neurodivergents are too early with their warnings and that’s the problem” is often portrayed as the intellectual interpretation of why normies go into overshoot and mass collapse. “Normies are too slow and too dumb to realise what’s happening” is never portrayed as the problem. Chop chop normies.

I want to point out this is not doomerism Solving a problem means recognizing the problem exists in the first place We haven't lost to fascism just yet. We have lost our structures to it, and it's entrenched at the social level If anything, the sooner people realize this, the sooner we build hope

This has actually sparked quite the debate between me and my bread winning partner, I want to go back to Costco and get another one just for costuming and she says I’m being greedy. But the look and feel on this stuff is so good for about $20 a yard and I am greedy.

If AI is so good Then excuse me while I stop paying fees and service taxes AI is instant I'll give you a penny as a formality Oh wait, I can't. Canada discontinued the penny Oh well. Nothing for you then

But this is just the whole problem with western society right? We told you PHP sucks, you still use it We tell you to Zoom is stealing your data, you still use it We tell you to not spread covid We tell you to not use AI We tell you stay away from Elon, boycott Starbucks and McDonalds etc etc

If you’re like me, living in ATX and voting is migraine inducing trying to sort out yourself. This year my partner found a decent voting guide from allmyleftistsliveintexas on IG and I’ve done a fairly thorough check and it’s legit. I’m not a big electoralist but I do it anyway 🤷

The best I can come up with it that if you vote or abstain is not nearly as important as getting involved in the struggle in whatever capacity you are capable of wether it be joining a mutual aid org or left-of-Dems group that is active where you live. Our times call for more than the bare minimum

meanwhile in Orange County they had a buy back program for LEGAL ebikes as if they were as dangerous as illegal guns

Reading headlines of a California newspaper e-mail is 100%: - "Driver runs over kids on bikes, flees" - "Driver shot in front of kids by other driver after crash" - "Man shot to death in car after road rage" And our elected officials won't lift a finger to stop it. Driving mandates, at all costs.

Salty here really makes me miss living that life in Seattle, sadly I didn’t start harassing bad drivers until I moved to Boston and now in ATX the sprawl dictates the frequency.

SNL platformed Donald Trump in 2015, right after he called immigrants criminals, drug dealers, and rapists SNL, like most of the media, chose to capitalize on the controversy for cheap laughs/views/clicks Let this be a reminder of who SNL chooses to bring on their show

There’s hardly anything creative it’s sickly hands haven’t tried to enshitify. Really excited to get back into VR right now when there is a decent anti-ai pushback by the people in virtual space.

I'm kind of in shock how many stories I've gotten this year from multiple people how they've commissioned worlds and that were never delivered or were covered in AI use. Like I'm not calling people out here but I feel really bad for people who spent a lot of money to receive nothing.

Politicians earning votes is an "idiocy" to the Joined Nov '24s They want people to believe that the existence of Republicans - with whom they've shared the government for nearly 2 centuries - simply entitles them to support How long do you think that'll go on for before it breaks down entirely?

Critical Rationalist@noncynic.bsky.social

Voter idiocies that got Trump & the fascists elected: - Dem candidate "must earn my vote" - Self-righteously criticize Dems, ignore GOP - Better to let evil GOP candidate win than compromise "my principles." - My holier-than-thou losing candidate is not a spoiler. - I will never apologize. UGH.

Curious if any tenants' rights people (esp in the northern US) are working on eviction moratoriums for the winter, what with everything costing more/people having no $/winter being a bad time to lose housing. I'll obv reach out locally but would be bolstered to hear who's working on it elsewhere!

Dr. Manhattan@thenewthinker.bsky.social

one of my favorite Marxist thinkers, Antonio Gramsci, whom many Marxists have simply not read, if they dare to be honest, had a great point about how Marxists needing to stop thinking of themselves as “unappreciated geniuses” and that they just need to go do the fucking work.

I won’t link to the despicable fear-lingering but with a headline like “Hordes of Teens on E-Bikes Force Suburbs to Rewrite Road Rules,” you know you’re about to read the most heinous shit you’ve ever read in your life.
