I'm currently chatting with some folks in a discord server, but idk if I'm able to invite others. I'm planning to spin up a lemmy instance to facilitate more project discussion. Pretty informal at this stage, but our current draft configs are mirrored here and I have some of my other projects on there as well.

I originally wanted to have a cute little cluster of fossil repos, but the forum is text only and that's pretty limiting.

I've had a couple of false starts, but I've been getting more into community mesh stuff recently. I think the tech is really interesting by itself and I have some ideas for mobile adhoc mesh protocols, but finding people to build something with is hard.

If you don't have the self confidence to be emasculated for fun, you might need to go to an Alpha training camp. They're pretty affordable too, only like 20k. Then you can come back and love her like a real man.

average european american maybe

2x tastes like ketchup to me , but its good. I guess I like ketchup. It was a spicy noodle contest and I just slurped it down like it was nothing. 3x is pretty nice tho. I gotta go get Korean BBQ again

You think they weren't doing that before 9/11? Impressive

wait are you telling me that the AI revolution was extremely oversold???

seesh, i should have mirrored that page when i had a chance

EXACTLY. we need to build new systems of care because the american system fails and eventually kills everyone below the morality line these new systems WILL be violently opposed, which will require self defense.

Some politician called the student encampments "little Gazas" they're building cop cities while our actual cities crumble. They are widening the gap between haves and have nots. I never thought I'd see anything like this in America. Its only a glimmer, but in many ways what we're seeing today is aftershocks from the civil rights era. Desegregation and breaking the south African apartheid did some damage. The potential is on the periphery of the imperial core. Marginalized and downtrodden people, the homeless, the enslaved. Whatever happens in America to change things, will start from caring for and about the "dregs of society" and finding ways to guard against increasing fascist violence. ¡Viva LA انتافضة!

I share some of the pessimism, but I direct most of it towards the privileged classes and white people because they're the big impediment here.

Its gotta be some evil delulu shit. AI is just not that good. There could be some improvements still, but its way to early to be rationally betting on it like this. I'm sure they are eager to retaliate against unionization and shit. Blame it on the recession, get bailed out, and hire us back at way lower salaries. Though idk where the US is going to get that money this time around.

I'm still trying to understand how actually replacing people with AI is supposed to work, because the quality of the outputs is still essentially trash. I do understand that in the short term capital prefers to swing its dick around to prove a point, and maybe that's all there is to it. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that AI hype is being used to cover for a very real economic slowdown that is actually driving the lack of job prospects and layoffs. Maybe capital is just hoping that AIs can do a good enough job to keep them floating until the recession is over.

gooning alone is liberalism, collective gooning is praxis.

We can thank Quechua scientists for giving us some of the best agricultural technology out there. I don't have links, but its pretty interesting to read about some of the agricultural labs that were built in the andes ages ago to make this delicious monstrosity:

i'm about it. i'm a software developer, but i don't do any gamedev work atm. its an area that i would like to grow into in the future if i ever get my life to a point where i can spend time on that type of thing. i play some instruments and i like to draw and study languages, but gamedev itself is a whole paradigm that i'm not really familiar with.

whatever you want tiktok, i'll support you by never giving you any money

TO BE SHIPPING CONTAINERS

you can't modify them in any way without compromising the structural integrity of these things. that crinkle isn't just for fun, its part of what makes the whole thing rigid enough not to fall apart. If you start cutting into that, you have to come up with a whole new support structure and might as well just build it normally.

Actual prefab buildings though? That's workable.
