Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead

the generations to come will grow up using computers that resemble the touchscreens you order food at a deli from, no root access, not owned by them, only accessible via a few rigorously controlled and selected pathways allowed by the manufacturer, logging in will require a user profile with mandatory valid payment details which will be routinely used to access already extent functionality, their operations will be preempted while advertisements play, they will be taken to court if the electronic anti-tampering hardware is tripped. this will happen

they got us first with the phones, that they were eventually able to mostly lock us out of, or at least design the hardware and firmware in such a goofy fucked up incredibly secret way that there isn’t much you can do without 5 lifetimes of effort reasonably. they took root away, that has happened already, next will be the merging of your user with some network account with microsoft or whatever no longer being optional (google phones already do this), then no boot without network, then no boot without network and TLS connection with host “allowing” you to use it

windows 11 won’t boot on hardware lacking a “trusted security module” which is the fake name for a sealed chip that facilitates end-to-end DRM encryption a la HDCP, and that is when the concept of “local media” (mp3, mp4) will die, it will only come to you after payment, over the air, encrypted, or stored locally for a period of time with built in expiration a la video rental

i tell people this and it slowly happens and they’re all “i bet you’re soooooo proud of yourself for getting this right, must feel good” — it absolutely does not feel good, this was never an ego thing, they didn’t listen and when faced with reality they will won’t listen

i saw a kid writing code on his phone for a school assignment, man, what does that mean?

doomsday preppers always keeping rusty tins of food in their basement but never building springhouses and smokehouses and paddocks for future livestock 🤨 those canned peaches are only going to bring you so far babe

I dont know who needs to hear this but if your hobby starts to not be fun, put it down. It's a hobby, not a full time job or something, don't burn yourself out on something that should be entertaining. Physically can't bring yourself to draw? Put it down. Bored with a crochet project? Put it down. Dropped stitches while knitting and filled with rage? Put it down. It'll come back to you

This seems like a good time to remind everyone that online misinformation has been a major part of the overall Russian strategy for years, and the more chaotic the war situation becomes, the harder it will be to find out what’s true and what’s not, so check your sources, don’t believe everything you read on social media, and try to get your information from credible news outlets that adhere to certain journalistic standards

If the majority of people's jobs are automated away then the economic situation will be so totally transformed that businesses won't be able to find a big enough consumer base to purchase their products anymore cause their own labor cost reduction efforts will corrode away their primary source of demand so please do go ahead and automate all our jobs away I'd really love to see you try to keep your market economy from collapsing afterwards.

Having your parents buy food for you is absolutely a form of generational wealth in action. If that makes you uncomfortable or upset, consider that it’s merely a semantic point and not a moral one. Generational wealth is only a hot word because we’re in a state of intense immoral wealth inequality, but it isn’t inherently bad, nor is parents supporting their children bad. It’s great when a parent provides food/access to food for their kids, but also obviously lots of parents can’t do that. Generational wealth is anything that’s passed down from one generation to the other, and should be something we help everybody build

disposable income is not the same as generational wealth. wealth is accumulated. if money gets put directly into filling basic needs it is not wealth it’s just cash.

[loumandliker]

we already have words like class privilege and social support system words mean things wealth is NOT “has money left over after bills” that’s called disposable income. y’all will do anything to avoid using words correctly. generational wealth is NOT “when you have enough money to buy groceries for someone if they were to find themself in a situation where they can’t do that” i am GOING to go insane.

[agnesmontague]

touches my lips to the mic. if you think “generational wealth” is when cash money changes hands between individuals of different generations you should not be talking about economic politics at all. your grandma handing you a fiver to go to the store is not generational wealth. it’s not a fucking estate jim it is called an allowance

[gunpowderandgelatine]

Generational wealth is when you have enough money in the bank that you live off the dividends, your kids inherit it and live off the dividends, your grandkids inherit it and live off the dividends.

You know what kind of money that is? It's hundreds of millions of dollars. It's billions of dollars. It's not your mom spending fifty bucks to stock your dorm fridge with redbull and snacks.

It's not your parents having a house that you can live in during college or if you lose your job. Some of yall cannot be trusted with a revolution because you are willfully uneducated about the concepts you are fighting for and against.
