hello! I’m Chloé, a nerdy ace trans gal :3

this is my lemmy account that I use sometimes. I am also on the microblogging side of the fedi at @carotte@toot.cat) :3

pronouns are she/her

  • …because it’s a common piece of clothing that many people wear…?

    why did you see a drawing of a woman with exposed shoulders and your first thought was "what a slut!"?

  • did you know that when there’s an overproduction of food, rather than selling it, it just gets thrown away?

    for example, if dairy farmers make more than their quotas allow, they are expected to simply throw their milk down the drain. thousands of liters of perfectly fine milk, completely wasted. and this sort of waste is not exclusive to dairy farms either

    under capitalism, so much of food waste is entirely preventable, if not deliberately caused! just by ending this practice, ending the intercontinental shipping of perishable food (which means that, yes, you in europe, north america or australia would have to give up bananas, so sad) and turning supermarkets into food banks rather than stores (so no pretty displays of food outside fridges), i bet that we could save tons of food from getting wasted

  • are you aware of which party has a majority in canada’s parliament right now

  • isn’t it fun how every major operating system is vibe coded now

    windows is an unstable mess, macos’s new ui is the most broken it’s been in decades, and linux is getting one new vulnerability per day. the future is exciting!

  • internet """leftists""" when the billionaire ceo owns a company whose employees make a product they like:

  • nah, CEOs definitionally make their money by exploiting other people’s labour. fuck them all even if they’re not successful at it.

  • there have always been some who cried wold every time new technology has become available, like calculators and computers

    and they kinda have a point, really. people got worse at memorizing stuff by heart when writing was invented, and people got worse at mental calculus when calculators when invented.

    but they allowed many things that were simply not possible. a calculation that takes me 2 minutes in wolfram alpha could take hours if not days to solve by hand!

    ai, meanwhile, or at least the ai we’re sold, does not offer significant advantages (at best it saves a few minutes), at the cost of making us worse at thinking, a skill that is absolutely essential to have… and of course, that’s the point. the tech oligarchs want us to be dependent on their extremely expensive products.

  • even without that there are people who will be forced to use this, like kids of religious parents

  • not exactly a competitor since it’s a music marketplace, not a streaming service, but bandcamp does not allow ai-generated music

  • bad news, ladybird is all in on slop too

    but servo should be fine, in fact right now they have an explicit anti-ai policy!

  • 2π: two pi

    π: one pus

  • …and then your fun, completely apolitical story has stuff like "one of the main characters tries to end slavery and is ridiculed by the narrative for it"

  • back when i still dual-booted windows, one time i hadn’t used it in ~2 months, and the automatic update was so big it kept crashing my shitty wifi

    i literally could not use windows with the internet on or else it would crash trying to download the updates…

  • for me, it’s the fact that it’s being used as a political tool by the usa to broadcast their prowess, that it’s being presented as a hopeful look in the future all the while the country running this is bombing and murdering hundreds of thousands, and that the companies benefitting from artemis’s publicity are mostly "defense" contractors like spacex and lockheed-martin, aka again the same people doing all the genocide

    it’s hard to feel excited about it even tho there is plenty of cool science being done, that cool science stands on a mountain of tragedy and horrors

  • do they even give a shit about justifications at this point?

  • the consequences of 20 years of "move fast and break things": people have to replace perfectly good hardware after 5 years to keep up, and everything’s so broken the literal rocket scientists can’t figure it out.

  • you don't have to use slurs to refer to people actually

  • pathetic fascist sympathizers, so they can get the news straight from the horse’s ass
