I blame Microslop

Ever notice how conservative companies that deal with information don’t need money?

Ah yes, the elimination of jobs is always good for society.

I wonder if it’s just Christians calling the kettle black

Why not non “western” people and content, too?

And this is why you don’t give microslop anything

Basically: fucked up laws

I’m just gonna take it as: people are confident in a belief system that is strongly heiarchial, and therefore can just tell you to fuck off.

…Which, to my brief reading of the neo-c and normal-c Wikipedia entries… Feels antithetical to what I read. But a lot of it seems to just explicitly go against Buddhist and Taoist teachings, and I don’t have the patience to read any more old Chinese philosophy in this context to just understand why the doctors would turn somebody pregnant away.

Also don’t be fucking insane or evil? I feel like that doesn’t need to be said, but it 100% does, apparently.

Strip out all tracking, anti-competitive anti consumerist features, remove all AI, make it secure and with all of the extra and fancy features opt-in.

Literally just make a decent, respectable operating system, and you will win. This is how you win at literally anything right now. Just make it durable and private and secure and not extremely expensive and make sure it WORKS, and people will suck your dick from across the planet.

NOBODY WANTS AI OR MICROTRANSACTIONS OR TO BE PUSHED AROUND OR CONNED, YET THAT’S ALL ANYBODY IS DOING - THE POSITION OF NOT A PIECE OF SHIT IS LITERALLY UP FOR GRABS, YOU JUST NEED TO REACH OUT AND TAKE IT.

Ahhhh… That’s better than a gap in the earth opening and sending one of the largest cities on earth between tectonic plates to basically hell

Consistently multiple inches a year is actually insane

One must pose the question, then:

…Where is it going?

Edit: thinks about tectonic plates … Oh no…

Bahahahahaha… Man. They still don’t get it.

What the hell happened to him? Wasn’t he like a martial arts guy for real in the 80s?

That has to be a wig… Right?

It might take a dip, but if people responded very positively, maybe Apple could benefit from taking some risk on morally good things. Imagine if stockholders saw that. Apple stock would explode.

No, that’s from science and engineers and public works. Fascists just like to co-opt that because it LOOKS socialist and try to use that to trick people.

Giant bronze statues of themselves, castles, starvation, fear, poor decisions, and heavy militarization is what dictatorships ACTUALLY get you.

All they would have to do is make a stance:

“We Are Pro Privacy and Anti AI”

And their popularity would skyrocket.

I still will never understand why storm drains or sewers from anywhere in society ever runoff into streams, rivers, or any natural body of water. That concept or design technique or whatever has always seemed bizarre.

Nothing can go wrong
