The other day I stumbled over this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticanon
The anticanon in U.S. constitutional law is a small set of U.S. Supreme Court judgments that have subsequently become widely considered to have been grievously mistaken for their poor legal reasoning and negative consequences
It's the worst cases the supreme Court decided. I feel like a lot of decisions from recent years will end up there.
Meanwhile, Linux works just fine. Booted up, opened steam, played Elden Ring (today I learned you can parry Midra!). Worked on a spreadsheet for some personal finance. Did some coding. At no point did I see an ad or fight with the UI.
Well, yeah. Conservatives will say anything to advance their goals. Doesn't need to be true or consistent with previous statements. They're bad people.
We should shut down those data centers and make their operators do climate remediation work.
I read a blog post once about that. If I recall, it made the argument that conservatism is fundamentally about hierarchy and abuse. Child abuse is about hierarchy and abuse. It's thus not surprising they go together.
The blog was more sophisticated than my memory of it, of course.
Rich people are stupid.
You know how someone who plays a shooter using an aim-bot and god-mode is going to be bad at the game? Same principle. They have money, they don't have to really struggle or practice, they never get good.
I always thought that kind of social media was a recipe for bad times. Alas, most people don't care or think much, so here we are.
I remember as a kid I was so excited when I got a blue chocobo in FF7 (I'm old) I ran upstairs to tell my mother. She did not care, nor pretend to care. Made me a little sad, and what could have been a nice moment did not materialize.
I try to listen to the children in my life. If little nephew wants to tell me about his robots and pokemon, I'll be there and try to engage
Everywhere I look, problems are coming from rich assholes removed from actually doing work making decisions.
A rare example of when I think talking to the computer is a good interface.
Also fuck cars, and distracted drivers need to go right to the pits.
Seems like another example where the people making decisions are not qualified to make those decisions.
I'm pretty sure fraud is already illegal and most people don't consider those laws a dangerous stifling of free speech.
