shame fascists out of existence
- I'd like to add that like in all industries, when we stop understanding how our tools work, we become entirely dependent on the corporate entities that own the mold. We are trading the ability to build and repair for the convenience of being permanent tenants in someone else's infrastructure/subs.
- Vibe coding is working as expected: it'll kill the open-source, secure, and ideologically maintained alternatives to make sure you have to pay the oligarchs to do anything at all, and they can control what you're allowed to make. www.404media.co/vibe-coding-...

- This is what loudly listening to music with strangers and friends is for
- Remember!
- There has never been anyone who knew what they were talking about that called technology neutral
