daniel berntsson, one of mullvad's two founders and owners, has donated millions to a local fascist/populist party. (swedish link to flamman, a socialist news site)

the örebro party are mainly known for using unusually aggressive rhetorics and racism.

in the article, berntsson specifically mentions supporting the örebro party's politics of forced repatriation of swedish citizens born abroad.

"We’ve reached the point in the erosion of the First Amendment where the government considers possession of anarchist zines and membership in a terrorist cell to be more or less the same," Seth Stern and Jeremy Busby write in @theintercept.

growing evidence of huge collateral benefits in terms of staving off #dementia. I have had so many #vaccines I have lost count, more coming up soon, and I can't wait...

I am not at all amused to find that Reddit has compiled AI generated dossiers on all of its users...

at this point I’m done apologizing to these dickheads, because the apology and the optics of the “other side” apologizing is exactly what fascist school board assholes and LLM boosters with right-wing ties want.

I don’t go into pro-LLM spaces to harass people and neither does any AI critic I know. all of us think pro-AI spaces are too gross to touch. that’s why it’s a fucking tragedy when a space goes pro-AI: it sucks the oxygen out of everything else and turns everything into slop. it’s fucking depressing.

I’m not apologizing for some shit that neither I nor nobody I know did. I’m out of patience for supposed AI critics acting like authorities in a space I’m extremely active in, pretending that we’re doing something we don’t do. I’m tired of finding out those supposed critics have been critihyping AI for years and run in right-wing circles.

Down the #LinkedIn rabbit hole for research and...

I was reading the feed of a French tech bro who has egregiously cringy daily posts.

I almost spit out my coffee over his advice "Be the CEO of your body" 😂 Thankfully my computer is safe. But I will never drink coffee while browsing LinkedIn ever again.

@_elena yeah, it’s all wellness shit, startup shit, or people getting laid off trying to figure out their next gig.

It’s a wasteland.

Oh dear. I had to sign up for #LinkedIn - dummy account of course - in order to do research for articles I am writing and... I am not OK.

Just spending 10 minutes a day on LinkedIn, reading what European tech entrepreneurs* are sharing is... painful. I am CRINGING SO HARD.

(*Not the company you're all thinking about, something else).

That being said, I wish I had 10% of the confidence and lack of self-awareness of these tech bros.

I'm going to retire from this beat soon. It's too much 🫠

is it a good sign when the national weather service runs out of pre-assigned colors to depict temperature?
