I run Mint on an old laptop as a second computer that I can jump onto when my microsoft machine eventually stops working with that OS. I also use it as a linux training tool (tinkering with Wine64 atm). So far, I’m very happy with the Linux Mint distro.

Getting free of #TechBro software is an ongoing tasks. I am a few days away from migrating my blog away from WordPress and onto @shlee ‘s enhance.net. Still have a Gmail account I need to get out of - that‘s ongoing too。

So much fun…

Omfg I couldn't even get to the midway point of this article before I had so much vomit in my mouth I had to bail. Jmfc. I've got vertigo from all the tech bro horse shit. Please end either me or that shit.

Ah, yes, another tech bro's fever dream of sentient TPS reports 🤖✨. Apparently, we're all just one GitHub Copilot away from #Skynet, but don't worry—there's an "Advanced Security" feature to protect us from our own bad decisions 🛡️. Just remember to toggle that navigation menu before the #AI takes control of your sandwich maker. 🍞🤖

Most of them remember that one, @bram, but they fail to consider that “the default” is often itself garbage.

Too many implementors, whether #techbro or not, will unthinkingly decide “I don't want to make a political decision so I'll go with the default from my culture”. My nerd friends, *that is a political decision*.

Almost 600 people have signed an open letter to...Sequoia Capital after one of its partners, Shaun Maguire, posted [blatantly racist crap] against the Muslim Democratic mayoral candidate in New York City.

Maguire, a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, posted on X over the weekend that Zohran Mamdani, who won the Democratic primary last month, “comes from a culture that lies about everything” and is out to advance “his Islamist agenda.”

CNBCTech founders call on Sequoia Capital to denounce VC Shaun Maguire's Mamdani commentsShaun Maguire, an outspoken Trump supporter, is getting publicly criticized for recent posts about New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

You know what, seriously, I'm done with the tech community rn.

Tech community be like:

"Oh you want to drive a pretty car? Well first you need to go to engineering school to learn how to design engines, we provide the vehicular frame but you have to build your own engine. Oh but painting your car is easy, you just have to know how to create paint from scratch. No we don't just use standard vehicle paint, we created a special type and only it stick to our car. Oh and don't forget that you have to design seats too, that's an entirely different tutorial, written by Sumerian monks! It's 80 percent out of date but you'll be fine.

Ugh. Sorry. But its not only AI killing the Internet, its this nonsense.

Are you still on #Spotify?

Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.

And don’t forget:

• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.
• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.
• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).

And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.

Stop funding him. Quit Spotify now.

Tech Bros weren't drafted into the fascist coup, they volunteered.

Delete windows, get a non google, non apple phone, drop twitter, delete Facebook, install linux, use blockers.

You may have ignored tech bro spying and control before, but now your life and family and country is at stake.

Some good tips here on how to hit the #techbro #broligarchy where it hurts them: in the wallet (by starving them of their raw material - your data)

#ThoughtProvoker :blobhyperthink:

We rightfully revile Silicon Valley style techbroism as we take moral higher standpoints, stick to our values.

Yet in our total rejection of #techbro culture, do we fail to learn from it? SV outperforms #FOSS under #hypercapitalism. #BigTech is winning. We must improve our fitness formula to catch up.

Is where SV #culture differs that folks from across the globe totally dare to unleash creativity? While fedi sees ideas usually followed with techies-impl-talk?
