No, I’ve pointed this out before how the robot memes are based on mocking these people for seeming autistic. Comparing autistic people to robots ia a whole thing, and while it is more complicated in media than being always unacceptable (ie Data is a beloved autistic icon) in this instance someone’s humanity is being stripped for looking and behaving like me. I blossomed under Covid specifically because wearing a mask means I don’t need to fake emoting how allistics expect me to emote.

There only isn’t more pushback because there’s little faith people will take ableism seriously enough to drop a shitty bit. We already don’t tolerate calling Hillary Clinton a man or whatever other transmisogynistic garbage, the difference is that most of us are tauglht early on that sexism is bad, while transphobia is a central issue in the culture war - everything else follows from that and one can expect a struggle session to ultimately end in the favor of those pushing back against bigoted language, at least in most leftist spaces. Ableism meanwhile is pretty acceptable even on the left, it’s not just chuds doing it so it isn’t as easy to expect leftists to automatically confront it, and so a lot of us just let it slide knowing we are just going to be mocked for saying anything so we might as well play along with it

the issue i remember keep coming up is that there still isn’t an actually good matrix client that approximates discord’s layout. the basic logic of a community being on a “server” with multiple channels people freely swap between , with maybe some voice channels that are compeltely disconnected from the text channels, still isn’t actually implemented because matrix still operates on IRC logic where every single channel is supposed to be a community unto itself. element’s spaces feature is a very poor substitute, and withotu that basic killer feature i don’t see any mass migration happening anytime soon.

yeah unfortunately it’s extremely easy to come to a reductionist conclusion that because someone - even a disabled person that’s just kinda lib - said something that utterly dismisses the welfare of workers that then that means the literal words used are meaningless and bourgoise. food delivery - whether that be by shitty corporations charging an obscene surchrage, defunded programs like meals on wheels, or preferably you motherfuckers reading this right now constantly talking about how there’s no praxis for you to do getting on a fucking bike - is going to be part of a much larger structure of care for everyone, and relying on a strict medicalist definition of “disabled” through diagnosis will make shit much worse. make sure your neighbors are actually eating, even the ones you really don’t fucking like, because people don’t deserve to live or die based on whether you personally get along with them, and creating the dual power structures that enable everyone to continue existing as the US continues to crumble apart is going to be vital to any attempt at revolution.

buy them refurbished for like $300 if you don’t want OLED. the cheapest OLED is $500, but as people break theirs and/or get bored you’ll start finding those refurbisehd too for a good price. get the cheapest one with the screen you want and slap a better NMVe drive in there, or if you’re too scared to open it then buy an SD card for it.

the dude’s a piece of shit on ND issues and loves him some R slurs, but yeah the guy’s literally a maoist and got famous for flying overseas to shoot at people on behalf of rojava. he’s absolutely not “far-right.”

He is right that flags should only have straight lines and simple geometric shapes because the only interaction 99% of people will ever have with state flags is drawing them during busywork elementary school assignments.

Lol we were supposed to get hot chocolate. And then they just didn’t.

Nothing like a computer illiterate jackass getting a permission slip from a computer to go be racist, so the store can pretend the massive humiliating scene they caused was entirely the fault of not reading the computer right.

Just as systemic racism isn’t the result of one individual with bad intent that could be taken out to fix it, AI isn’t any different than any other bureaucratic tool. They get trained on racist data, but the very goal of going after “likely shiplifters” is a racist end. Anyone that works retail knows how often managers are calling over radio asking you to keep an eye out for a black guy wearing a shirt. AI isn’t really introducing new racism where less existed before, it just creates an excuse for the racism that it was totally the computer and not vague guidelines about “suspicious activity” we get told to look for with the complete understanding they mean black people who park too close to the store.

God, TES lore in the hands of Obsidian with an actually supportive publisher behind them would make me overlook the aging engine.

cringe culture is reactionary, enjoy things

tech CEO’s that refuse to release the source code of medical devices should be tried and convicted on crimes against humanity and face execution. only by releasing the source code can they be freed.

yeah that’s my job, stop calling things insane

the fundamental problem is that psychology doesn’t leave a fossil record and so like 99% of evopsych is simply coming up with a theory to support your beliefs, on the wildass assumption that human thoughts and behavior are primarily genetic in nature rather than cultural.

but you repeat yourself

actually kill people for not releasing source code for medical devices, make it an actual capital offense. if someone cannot at will see the code in their own body, then their basic bodily autonomy has been undermined.
