  • Senate Republicans Propose Gutting Medicaid Further To Make Trump Tax Cuts Permanent

  • Hard no. The reaction is absolutely warranted. The same sorts of people who push anti-electoralism/accelerationism are happily asking the sick people, who they helped prevent from getting treatment by installing craven right-wingers, to die for them. That is beyond fucked and should never be met with anything but scorn and derision.

    It's the same fucking story again and again. The cowards want to force things towards violence and not be at risk themselves. Asking sick people to do it for them? No. The only ethical response to someone suggesting that is "go fuck yourself".

  • Gold Phone and Mobile Service Blasted as Latest 'Trump Family Profiteering'

  • The FCC, which licenses radio spectrum and makes the rules for device certification is part of the Executive branch. So are the CFPB and the SEC, or what's left of them. He's literally, corruptly leveraging his office to benefit his cons and preventing regulations from applying to himself and his cronies.

  • Yeah... That reads like they're admitting to cybercrime and declaring it legal.

  • In a world not dominated by unfettered capitalism, sure. That's not the one that we live in however and this tool has both been built on stolen and unlicensed intellectual property as well as being used explicitly to harm people's livelihoods while replacing their work with objectively inferior plagiaristic amalgams.

    AI companies also refuse to obey the rules of the Internet and continually DDOS sites that request crawlers and scrapers not do so, necessitating creation of whole new types of software to defend against their malicious behavior.

    And on top of all that, they have substantially increased greenhouse gas emissions and are actively consuming potable water in a manner that makes Nestlé execs hard. Putting the planet's biosphere at greater risk and unnecessarily increasing water scarcity.

    Nah. Simping for AI companies is the irrational take. The value that they provide to humanity is, outside of some niche use cases, marginal at best and will likely never come close to making up for the harms that they are causing to humanity for a quick buck and to increase worker oppression.

  • With GenAI being used primarily as a cudgel against labor, especially organized labor, it's a pretty accurate take.

  • Would be nice if the law would be enforced on these fucks who continue committing crimes without consequence.

  • Trump Mobile launches $47 service and a gold phone

  • 100% guaranteed. The US does not have the manufacturing infrastructure for such products as a result of half a century of off-shoring to avoid organized labor.

  • That's why they took hand grenades during the W years. Soldiers were getting pretty sick of fighting for Halliburton.

  • Donations, subscriptions, etc are definitely fine. They are not invasive fuckery that inflict themselves on people without consent, nor do they seep into the space in a commercial manner. Ads do not respect consent and they fundamentally force commerce into every place that they touch.

    Ads are the root of the rot in the www.

  • 38 (cis-M) here. Yes, I do want kids and have pretty much all of my life. I want to give them opportunities that I didn't have, encourage pro-social attitudes, and share in the joy and wonder of discovering things that, as an adult, are very much taken for granted. At this point, however, I'm getting pretty doubtful that it will happen.

    Coming up on 10 years with my spouse and I'm not sure that I'd even have the energy at this point - being sole income and providing care for someone who has disabling mental health conditions and endometriosis has been extremely stressful and exhausting. And she's back and forth on whether she even wants children, due to said conditions (which is not unreasonable). If we had more partners than just the two of us to share the load, it could work but, endo is chronic, degenerative and hers has only been getting worse recently so, I'm not too optimistic - for bio or non-bio.

    Quick footnote on the subject: The "selfish ones" related to having children are the anti-natalists and anti-childfree people who think that everyone has the same life experience as them and want to judge others based upon their myopic views. Having children is not inherently moral or immoral - it's just a function of biology and a personal decision.

  • Abso-fucking-lutely not. People need to be able to exist without having hypercommercialism forced on them everywhere.
