“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…

strong middle class creates the best average conditions for civilization
The middle class is where civilization happens. Not because middle-class people are saints, and not because rich people are all stupid or poor people are all broken, but because the middle is where human beings are most likely to stay proportionate. You have enough stability to think beyond survival, but not so much excess that…

It’s terrible to see…
It’s terrible to see that so many people really do lack critical thinking, empathy, or even the smallest amount of reflection and understanding. If it really is millions and millions of Americans — people who have freedom, access to a variety of information, and a relatively healthy information environment — then it’s truly awful to…

Age Verification
GrapheneOS Refuses to Comply with Age-Verification Laws Good! Fuck age verification, its stupid, inefficient, just harmful. Instead of seeking true freedom and privacy progress, those small brain dumbfucks trying to enforce another surveillance bullshit masked under ‘we politicans care about children‘ (Epstein files) Its all that techno feudalism and late stage capitalism corruption dirt, and…

Possessions and consumerism
The fewer things I own, the freer and wiser I become. Possessions and consumerism weigh you down more than they improve your life. I’ve tested this many times in practice. That’s why I always get rid of everything unnecessary as much as is practically possible; I become freer, stronger, and lighter.

Linux CLI + AI = Ultimate Computer Power
I’ve been using Linux since 2007, when I was a teenager. My first distro was Fedora. Almost immediately, that same year, I started experimenting with deep system stuff and tuning, because I’m a minimalista and a hacker by nature. It has always been great, and I’ve always been saying that Apple and Microsoft suck dirt.…

The other huge side of common evil
The villainy of a government or a corporation is never only its face — never only a few specific bastards running that rotten thing. Always remember the other huge side too: the crowd, the herd, all those simpletons and conformists who, for the sake of comfort and pathetic illusions, destroy society by obeying and agreeing.…

Fuck You, Apple, Spotify, Google, and All the Same Parasites
I’m done with greedy big tech music-streaming platforms like those mentioned. Starting today, I’m boycotting them. From now on, all 240+ of my albums will be available exclusively on Bandcamp, and soon on my website as well.

On True Nobility, Great Leaders, and Bad Actors
The EU is compromised by corrupted, bad actors such as Hungary and Slovakia.The US is compromised by corrupted bad actors (the current administration and in general the very corrupted class of ultra rich, read: toxic oligarchy). And there are tons of examples like this. A seemingly “good” system, idealistic in the minds of its supporters,…
