    Over 40 years, we were collectively told to give tax cuts to rich people.And we were told that if we did that, wealth would trickle down and everyone would be better off.Over 40 years, pretty much everything got cut to fund these tax cuts.Schools. Hospitals. Public housing. Public transport. Universities. Roads projects. Mental health services. Welfare payments.People literally went homeless or starved, so rich people could get tax cuts.Because the wealth would trickle down.Eventually the eroding of public goods caused social dislocation.So governments further cut those public goods to fund more police and prisons. To continue giving tax cuts to rich people.But they said the wealth would trickle down.Eventually the climate started changing because of the amount of toxic fossil fuel pollution in the atmosphere.So governments chose to keep the tax cuts rather than fund infrastructure to reduce emissions.(Many of those billionaires getting tax cuts made their money selling toxic fossil fuels.)And as the oceans and atmosphere warmed, the bushfires, droughts, hurricanes, cyclones, floods, and droughts got worse.But they said the wealth would trickle down.Eventually people were getting pissed off at the dire state of the world.The rich misdirected that anger at immigrants!And First Nations!And trans people!And neurodivergent people!Anyone but the billionaires who got the tax cuts.So governments chose to keep the tax cuts. (For the rich. Everyone else got new tariff taxes.)But they said the wealth would trickle down.So did the wealth trickle down?Well...A group of billionaires saw this kinda cool tech demo.It predicted the next pixel of an image, based on the colour patterns of every image on the internet.It also predicted the next word in a sentence, based on an analysis of every piece of writing on the internet.The rich decided that this clearly showed that a sentient computer was just around the corner.The problem was these tech demos needed servers with a lot of GPUs to work.So the rich took all the money they got from those tax cuts.And they bought GPUs.Millions and millions and millions and millions of GPUs.All the tax cuts? All the underfunded schools? All the draconian welfare cuts? All the public housing shortages? The delays in funding clean energy.In the end, it didn't trickle down.And instead of all the public goods it could have bought......We'll be left with millions and millions and millions of GPUs in a landfill.#ChatGPT #Claude #AI #LLM #capitalism #socialism #business #politics #Nvidia

    Pair programming in #NeoVIM with #Claude cli. I liked pair programming back in the day when people actually paired together, trying to recreate the similar flow with my neovim plugin.https://www.reddit.com/r/neovim/comments/1nanw39/pairupnvim_realtime_ai_pair_programming_with/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_buttonhttps://github.com/Piotr1215/pairup.nvim#programming #ai

  • @dado ahah no no, niente ricette pronte 😄
    Serve studiare un po’ e capire come Fail2Ban “ragiona” 👀
    Io mi limito a costruire le jail bene, poi lui fa il resto...
    diciamo che più che copiare, è meglio imparare l’arte 😎🔧

    Ogni server ha il suo carattere… il mio morde 🐺💥

  • 📜 Cronache dal fronte digitale — i G.A.F.A.M. tornano a bussare ⚔️

    🛡️ Odissea contro i G.A.F.A.M. — e come li ho rimandati a casa (bannati) 🚪🔥

    Da anni navigo nel Fediverso come un vecchio lupo di mare 🐺⚓ — server miei, regole mie.
    Quando i grandi visitatori indesiderati (sì, voi — Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft 🕵️‍♂️) bussano per curiosare, non offro biscotti 🍪… ma un bel ban servito caldo da Fail2Ban. ☕💣

    Non è paranoia, è cura. I miei server non sono vetrine da scannerizzare: chi tenta forza bruta o scansioni a raffica trova solo porte chiuse e un log che segna “addio”. 🚫📜

    Le recidive? Ah, quelle le tengo care… chi ritorna, resta fuori a lungo — giusto il tempo per riflettere sotto la pioggia digitale. 🌧️🕳️

    Per chi vive nel #Fediverso e ama il #SelfHosting: ricordate, un buon Fail2Ban è come un cane fedele alla porta. Il mio, quando abbaia, non sbaglia. 🐶🔐

    Snow, comandante della piccola flotta Snowfan ⚔️✨

    These two paragraphs struck me in particular:

    > That’s in stark contrast to, say, Google+, which despite corporate backing, incomparably larger budget, and being pushed down people’s throats through forced integration with YouTube, survived mere seven years, nine months, and a week.

    Because unfortunately Google probably doesn't see that as a problem. Or even as the Fedi winning. For them, longetivity doesn't matter, but peak user count.

    > And once it shut down, it shut down. A social network of millions just blipped out of existence one day. All those moments – lost in time, like tears in rain.

    This, too, for them is a good thing. No-one else can profit from "their" data.

    This just makes it so crystal clear how the big one's interests aren't aligned with ours. Google+ wasn't really failing in their book, it had served its purpose and then ceased to do so. To us, this is loss. To Google this is just business.

  • These waves once carried laughter, summer picnics, and carefree days. The coast was alive, a place families came to relax and dream. Now, tents stretch along the shore where children once played, and the sea witnesses stories of survival instead of joy. Life goes on, but everything else has changed.
