I correct
I feel too much violence in my words recently. I do not like that, my style is not like that as well. There are various levels of subjective and objective violence phenomenon appearance and one of the fundamental ones – contextual, word and sense violence. Yes I do not like many things and we ought…

This universe is not a positive one, its symmetry is not what you expect it to be
This universe is not a positive one. Worse, what you expected, most likely will happen, not good. Especially all humans. Humans are a savage, temporary evolution breed. We were brought here to endure and suffer, to give painful birth to next-level humans—super humans. All current nations and races are the same. If you live closer,…

I’m totally against of age verification because it is a lie and a trojan horse
US national level OS-level age verification bill proposed A comment I could not agree more with: hypeatei 3 hours ago | parent | next [–]I’m not sure why Meta’s lobbying is harped on so much when all of Big Tech benefits from this; Zuckerberg is just the fall guy. Tech companies love the idea of identity / age verification so they…

I like AI. But in somebody else’s cloud? No, thanks.
I like AI. But in somebody else’s cloud? But cloud USA bullshit? No, thanks. All those chats you put there will be used against you someday. I use AI neutrally and as little as possible. If you use it too much, you become a dumb, lazy idiot. I use it for some coding assistance, some…

Turbo enshittification
Google and Reddit officially turned into complete trash today, like so many other products. Completely removed them from my life already. Turbo enshittification is everywhere now. Most of those American corporations we used to think were fun and good in the 2000s have turned into absolute garbage. If you listen to the masses and chase…

Thought experiment about consumerism
Things, things… just pieces of junk, really. Sometimes I think: what if everyone lived simply, in caves with bare walls, and even without clothes? Then what meaning would life have for people? Today it often feels like consumerism is everything — work just so you can buy more things, basically. But an experiment in emptiness…

There is a moment when growing up feels complete
There is a moment when growing up feels complete. You say to yourself: that is it, now I understand how life works. I know what fits me, how to behave, even how to dress. Knowledge becomes a kind of line, and crossing it gives a strange calm. As if confusion is behind you. But every…

About real leaders
A leader is not the one who is wealthier or has more connections. A true leader is someone who fights first, takes the hardest burdens on himself, and accepts more risk. But willpower alone is not enough. A true leader is always smart, understands ordinary people, and helps them because he knows he is just…

Believe me.
Something essential in life is learning how to love struggle—problems, conflict, fights. Otherwise, they will overwhelm you. I learned that early, and in my own way, I came to value them. Life has given me a lot of harsh things, honestly, ever since childhood. I’m a full orphan, raised in aggressive Russian ghettos, but I…

On things
What matters is how flexible a thing is, how adaptive it is. For example, a tiling setup like Sway with a bunch of terminals is, today, a more optimal thing than some stale Windows with a pile of limitations, donkey-level productivity, and crippled multitasking. In a Linux (or any other open source) terminal-based tiling workflow…

“PrO Ai”
Microsoft: Copilot is for entertainment purposes only Anthropic does a somewhat similar thing. If you visit their ToS (the one for Max/Pro plans) from a European IP address, they replace one section with this: Non-commercial use only. You agree not to use our Services for any commercial or business purposes and we (and our Providers)…

“AI slop is basically an existential threat to these companies”
An interesting comment from the internet: Facebook and other billionaires are pushing it (+1) rsilvergun 3 hours ago It’s mandatory for them because there is so much AI slop now it’s starting to infect their data sets. Facebook doesn’t give a shit about the quality of their advertising because no matter how many bots there are people…

Copying Open-Plan American Living Without Understanding the Conditions and real quality
Making living rooms with refrigerators is an idiotic trend in modern house building. These architects watched too many cheap pop American movies and sitcoms and started confusing staged interiors with real life. In real life, the kitchen must be isolated from the actual living space, because cooking is dirty. It brings smells, noise, heat, grease,…

Stop Designing for Idiots
Keep it as simple as you can while making the core functionality clear and open. Expect end customers to be real people who deserve respect, not primitive idiot hamsters. It is so clear to understand, and it makes life 100% better, yet there are always assholes and small-minded people who are not able to extrapolate…

Again about age verification
Random comments from internet you obviously can not disagree with (if you got minimum brains) – “Why the fuck can’t parents do their fucking job and turn on parental controls. I guess fuck my privacy“ – “It’s not about the kids. That is just an excuse for state level surveillance of people.“ Age verification idea…

Not suppresion, Not Elevation
You do not overcome a deep psychological struggle by simply blocking a bad urge, and not by replacing it with another cheap comfort either. Real change begins when you turn toward something higher: discipline instead of indulgence, freedom instead of dependence, steadiness instead of inner chaos, readiness to endure hardship instead of always trying to…

The Essence of the “I”
I think I have begun to understand what the “I” really is. The self is not a single point inside the mind, nor a solitary voice hidden somewhere behind thought. It is something more general: the overarching algorithm of a network of modules within the cortex. The mind appears to consist of many groups of…

Ai slop and lack of trust
“Number of AI Chatbots Ignoring Human Instructions Increasing, Study Says.” Sandbox and limit use of Ai as much as possible, also keep away from american corporations and their “clouds” as hard as you can! There are a lot of good alternatives. If you are blindly trust them, you are gonna lose hard some day. You…
