I am using chatgpt without paying them. I’m doing my part to waste their resources! When AI finally stops being shoved down my throat, it’ll be a good day.

Yeah, well, too little too late. He also passed a ban on 3D printing. I don’t remember the specifics of it, but it was something to do with ghost guns, but we all know the real purpose is to prevent people from making replacement parts for their stuff. Right to repair is so fucked, and he’s made it worse for no reason.

There are a lot of reasons to hate the guy even though he’s done some decent stuff.

I don’t just blindly support candidates, and I never will. I want a Mamdani to run for president, and congress. We need people who actually care. Not people who just want power. The entire world is lurching right now bcz of the manipulated online discourse, and our idiot neoliberal polices from the past 40-50 years. It’s like clock work, the generation that experienced fascism dies, so we decided, maybe let’s try it again. Maybe it’ll work this time.

Haha, I’ve been banned from reddit loads of times already. I just create new accounts, and move, get a new IP address and I’m all set. Granted that was all a happy accident, not something I planned.

Honestly, I am back on reddit bcz this place is too small, and it’s kinda toxic. Everybody spends their time here arguing over who is the right kind of leftist and insulting anybody else who doesn’t share their exact opinions.

Plus, I do gamedev and play DnD and this place is dead as a doornail for those types of communities go.

I left reddit entirely for a few years for what it’s worth.

Yeah, well, he just backed a measure to kill the billionaire tax in California, and took it a step further trying to make it illegal to make other billionaire taxes. Fuck that guy, if he makes it to the general election, I will vote for him, but I will not forget that he’s a billionaire stooges.

We need real progressives, not fucking neoliberals in sheep’s skin, or we will get Trump 2.0 one day and it will be even worse than it is now. People want real change, not another Joe Biden, or Obama.

We got MAGA because people are ignoring the working people’s plight, and acting like the world is all hunky dory, and we aren’t killing the planet under a capitalist system rigged against anybody not rich.

But, I will hold my nose and vote for him if he makes it to the general bcz I’d rather not go full Hitler. We already might get that. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, well, you know what the next step to the peaceful stuff is after voting, lobbying, and running for office. We all do.

Ahhh, thanks for clarifying. I wasn’t getting it bcz of how dumb I am.

I don’t need the information, and neither does anybody else. If you want to be helpful, give people resources to contact their elected representatives, and/or start volunteering with your local community, and make a plan to get out if things come to that. Everything else including this, is just noise.

Gee thanks, this has been very productive for both of us! Speaking as someone who lived in a household with domestic abuse, I really appreciate my situation growing up being compared a fascist takeover of our government.

Comparing this to an abusive relationship is a really stupid comparison.

I hate that everyone is just letting this guy walk all over the constitution. At any time they could stop him, but they don’t want too no matter how much they say they do.

They created this monster, and they are stuck with the consequences regardless of whether they want it or not. Obligatory fuck neoliberals too, and Gavin Newsom in particular.

Good for you I guess? I actually went back to using reddit a few months ago. Lemmy just isn’t big enough for the communities I want to engage with. I have tried to create spaces here, and nobody interacts with them.

As much as reddit sucks, that’s still where a lot of people are. The other issue with lemmy is that it’s a bunch of leftists all fighting and arguing with eachother about who is the most pure leftist. It’s annoying. But, you’ll see that all in due time. Best of luck to you with this place. I guess.

It’s a small space and you’ll see the same people a lot, so be prepared for that.

Oh boy, you are so wrong, you don’t even know it. Participating in a system that forces you to participate doesn’t make me not a leftist. If you want to start a revolution to start that communist or socialist utopia we all dream of, be my guest. I’ll be right there with you supporting you when it’s all said and done. But right now, that’s not in the cards for me. And I’m not about to explain that to someone over the internet.

What are you even trying to say? I am not advocating for copyright, maybe ask questions first instead of calling people names. Man, I am so tired of this space always being filled with people shitting on eachother for not being the correct type of leftist, or not far enough left.

Dude, this isn’t a story about a closed source game dingus. Have you ever even tried to make a game? Most games can be decompiled or reverse engineered pretty easily. And as long as we live in a capitalist society, you have to play the game, even if you don’t want too.

Dunno why you come in here with comments like that…oh, a .ml account that explains it. Can’t even engage with people in good faith. Do you seriously go around calling people class traitors everywhere you go? Bcz that ain’t going to make you any friends. I am about as far left as it gets, so I find it funny that you are calling me a class traitor.

I am basically an anarchist in my political views, or a socialist, so, yeah, super funny to me to be calling me a class traitor.

I already own an EV. And there definitely are people who are very vocal about the issues with ICE engine cars. Personally, I’d rather we go back to smaller communities within biking distance, but that’s just me.

Yeah, former…fuck off. Stop replying to me or I will block you.

It’s not a myth. It’s a huge issue people having been dealing with in the Indie dev space, which you would know if you were a game developer. Anyway, I’m done here. You’re either a bot, or an extremely unpleasant person, and I don’t have the mental energy to engage with either today.

Is that really all you got from that? AI is stealing people’s art, their video games, music, etc. I’m not talking about large companies. I’m talking about Joe down the street who’s spent the last 4 years making a game, just to have an AI try to rip a slop version of his game 2 days after he released it.

I don’t give a shit about Microsoft, or any other corporation for that matter, and the fact that you came in here with this aggressive long ass rant reply to me without even so much as asking a clarifying question says more about you than it does me.

I guess Linus doesn’t care about the environment or any of the other issues surrounding A.I. I’m not anti-AI just for the sake of being anti-AI. I have a huge problem with AI bcz of it’s environmental impacts, intellectual property violations, job impacts, attempts to replace all employees with AI, the general dumbing down of society and worse off the internet is bcz of AI, the surveillance state being built around it. I could go on, but you get the point. I am a staunch, no AI person bcz of all those reasons and a hundred more.

This isn’t an age thing, or a, I am getting older and Im stubborn thing. AI is literally ruining the planet and everything on it, and this guy thinks we should just accept that.

I say fuck off with that noise, I don’t have e to accept anything.

If only
