pounce

@aphyr@woof.group i don’t understand this post but it’s me

anyway, one of the marxist economics books i have called The Enigma of Capital introduced me to the concept of creative destruction, where a liberal market will continuously destroy existing, functional things and spaces in order to remake them to justify inflation and capital growth

and honestly this whole ai boom basically just feels like the application of creative destruction to compute instead of goods or land. we have to devalue existing compute and put some concept of novelty on destroying it so that we can justify paying for more software, hardware, data centers, employees to labor therein, etc. all to justify compound growth

@violet_cybrespace@lesbian.solutions lmao i know bc i have the same one

@violet_cybrespace@lesbian.solutions is that a mahjong mug 🀄️

@vriska@lizards.live what about the Atlantic you’re forgetting about Iceland and Svalbard

reminder: there is no limit in the IRC emoji reactions specification for how long an emoji react can be... so the first 4kb of the bee movie is a legal emoji reaction!

@incentive@mastodon.circlewithadot.net @Gargron@mastodon.social https://ircv3.net/ has some good information, but to name a few i don’t think many people know about: persistent history (now integrated into several ircds and most clients)seamless image/file upload from the appmulti-line and -paragraph messagesutf-8typing indicatorsproper repliesemoji reactionsin-app registrationaccount profile pictures / descriptions / display names

@Gargron@mastodon.social don't forget us IRC folks have been working to reach feature parity with discord the whole time that people have been moving away from it it's a pretty good alternative these days!

@xirin2u@mastodon.social tea :blobcattea:

@Purple it's also happening to senior academics! :acat_suffering:
