What do you do if you want to leave tech?

You don’t. Every aspect of modern society needs some amount of tech. But the tech we need doesn’t automatically need to be the adware-laden, spyware-as-a-service enshittified garbage that BigTech foists on us in the name of ever-increasing quarterly profits.

We all have a choice. If you can make tech, you can choose to make tech for humans, not corporations. There are numerous apps that we would all love a simple, cleanly implemented version maintained by a small team of individuals dedicated to creating a useful application that solves real-world problems without ripping anybody off or filling our viewscreens with pointless ads.

There’s a simple equation anybody can follow. Make something useful that someone else finds value in, sell it for a reasonable price. That’s it. That’s all any of us need to do in tech. Grab the off-the-shelf hardware, the open-source software, make something useful, and sell it for a modest profit that the makers can live a modest life on.

We all can choose to be less greedy any time we want. We can choose to work for less greedy people. We can choose to maximize for human impact, or for quality, or for longevity. We do not need to keep choosing maximum profit at the expense of our own ecological well-being.

Try asking deepseek about why Tienanmen Square is famous or whether Taiwan is an independent nation. Compare deepseek’s answers to chatgpt’s answers for the same question. See for yourself.

There are already AI models trained for distributing intentional misinformation. Grok and DeepSeek are two such examples.

What is there to fear? Seriously. Pretending like this has anything to do with fear is the most childishly narcissistic framing possible. Grow up.

Xorg is nearly dead and buried. Nobody actually cares about Xlibre. Notice how the only thing being mentioned is the sidenote that this fork is run by a racist troll whose been kicked for cause from several prominent OSS projects. Literally the only reason XLibre exists is because this individual needed to start his own project because he’s worn out his welcome in many others.

And, considering the geopolitical state of affairs at the moment. It’s pretty plainly obvious that the only sort of person who is “anti-DEI” are fascists. And the only people making excuses for the fascists are other fascists. So, thanks for letting us know who you are.

Found the useful idiot. You’re willfully ignoring the racist dogwhistles. That either makes you a supporter or a fellow traveler. Either way, you’re complicit and not innocent.

If you really want to help her, take her to the nearest planned parenthood. Get her some condoms and information about her other contraceptive options.

The fact is, she’s going to see her boyfriend no matter what y’alls parents say. Sooner or later, she’ll find a way. So, just make sure that when she does, she’s got everything she needs to make sure that she can avoid an unwanted pregancy.

This is the childish actions of a whiny technofascists that’s gotten himself banned for cause. Note the open bigotry right in the README. For some odd reason he feels the need to make an anti-DEI statement. Treat it like the far-right dog whistle it is.

Kissinger died in 2023.

How do you know that to be true? What evidence do you have to support the hypothesis?

Even if the outcome you fear to be true comes to pass, that will not mean you were correct today.

Without evidence to support the hypothesis, you’re doing nothing more complicated than guessing the result of flipping a coin.
