Around 15 years ago, I had a conversation with someone who was basically pitching the idea of letting google listen to our conversations so that it could present relevant info on screen in real time. I was physically repelled by the idea on surveillance related grounds. Time has revealed that *I* am the strange one for that reaction.

@aud@fire.asta.lgbt @danirabbit@mastodon.online A lazy but accurate summary—in my opinion—of like at least two thirds of the plot is a bunch of people, in sequence, going “that Sauron guy hoodwinked you too? Man, we have to do something about that guy before it’s too late because he is a scheming villain who wants to trick everyone”

@jrdepriest@infosec.exchange They aren’t opposition. That’s my point. They are perfectly effective. I was willing to believe otherwise and that was a mistake. I genuinely held out hope that Biden would rise to the occasion. He didn’t. He gave a not quite symbolic gesture and fucked off into the sunset having achieved his goal of being president. That was his goal. The title.

But it *is* obvious. That’s why democrats and republicans both wanted to “return to normal” as quickly as possible in response to COVID. It’s why Biden’s admin had no real energy behind holding anyone of consequence to account for Jan 6. It why no front runner was willing to call a genocide a genocide. It’s why Trump hasn’t been impeached and why the DNC has explicitly stated that impeachment “isnt a priority”

If the war budget was turned into funds for actually enriching the lives of citizens for even one year? If billionaires were taxed at a reasonable rate? There would still be racists who were angry that “undeserving people” also benefited but they would be drowned out by everyone else . This is both the thing that keeps me going and the most depressing thing in the world to me. How, in this moment, is this not *so* painfully obvious to an overwhelming majority of people in the US?

People will tell me he tried. People will tell me republicans stopped him. People will tell me that he didn’t have enough public support of initiatives like that for those to be effective. If that last one is really true then America is simply doomed. Really. If it is really true that programs couldn’t survive once they were realized because of racism or pettiness or whatever then what’s the point? What are we even discussing? A rotten populous. So I won’t really go much further with that line.

If Joesph Robinette Biden gave even one shit about stopping fascism, he would have—on day one of his presidency—looked like a n entire socialist. He would have enacted government programs that clearly communicated a desire to help citizens thrive. He would have shown, so clearly, what it looks and feels like to have a government want to keep all of its citizens alive that no one would look at “the way things were” as acceptable.

As I see and understand it, white america mobilized for Jimmy Kimmel so quickly and vigorously in part because it was clear *how* to mobilize. Denying a corporation of money is the obvious stimulus.

The american political system is a corporation. A general strike is the obvious response to this administration giving more life to Jim Crow. It isn’t a resurrection because it never quite died.

Is there a good open source MVVM in swift example someone could point me toward? I’m now dealing with an MVVM + presenter + uhh… coordinator? Not sure about that last one. Point is that there is a whole lot of ceremony that doesn’t quite easily slot in to my conceptualization of MVVM.

Doesn’t have to be in SwiftUI (the codebase I’m dealing with is UIKit, actually)

“Why don’t you ask AI?” Because I work with people. People who built the thing using their human minds and I guess I have a preference for getting information from those over asking a computer to generate text that looks reasonably like what they might say in response to my question.

@funcrunch@me.dm @medium@me.dm Not sure I saw the original post but I only have lukewarm feelings about medium. A slight aversion but it’s mostly based on vibes, if I’m being honest. The blog post you just shared pushes that further but I’m exhausted and feel like everyone is joining the AI cult so … I dunno

@flipper@mastodonapp.uk @blogdiva@mastodon.social I picked gold leaf for a reason though. Crab and lobster are still food and people deserve to eat that if they are on food stamps. People deserve unhealthy food and healthy food and expensive food and cheap food. Gold leaf isn’t really food. It has no nutritional value at all. It’s ostentatious. Policing what actual food people can eat is rarely good

I’ll concede that I could deserve to be in hell. Really I don’t want to argue about that but there is no way that I deserve this specific ring of hell. Simply no way. This is egregious, if I’m being honest.
