"...what really influences trolling behaviour is the social pleasure derived from knowing that others are annoyed by it. The more negative social impact the troll has, the more their behaviour is reinforced. Happily, this discovery suggests an easy way to deal with trolls: ignore them, rather than giving them the satisfaction of an angry reaction."

I fucking hate the theme of abled people trotting out a small minority of disabled people who are "helped" by llms to silence the giant pile going "everything about this harms me, specifically, in some way."

I know, it's just how society treats disabled people (pat answers are safe. They like safe.)

But fuck I want to push people over every time I see one of the "as an ADHD person, LLMs have made me more productive!" shoved in my face by a booster.

If you're not a person _specifically claiming that benefit_ stop fucking using it as a gotcha. I guarantee you the disabled people you're smothering over have considered better than you.

RE: https://indieweb.social/@jbz/117338171652914834

everywhere should do this

Disabled people make society uncomfortable.

Left or right…. It doesn’t matter.

People want to believe it can’t happen to them.

That if they become disabled there will be a magic “fix”.

We challenge their denial, so they deny us solidarity and support.

That’s ableism.

i recognize the profile pic of @broadwaybabyto

their blog about pots really helped me

and other maybe weren't about my illness but were absolutely incredible

they write in an accesible way, put links and share disabled wisdom

i wouldn't be were I am without the advice other disabled people gave me

so thank you to them and to all my fellow disabled comrades

Stop calling people who wear masks and take Covid precautions the “forever covid” crowd.

We’re literally the only ones trying to eliminate the virus.

It’s not gone. It’s not over. It’s still disabling.

People who deny this reality are the “forever COVID” crowd.

in 1990 the Quebec Provincial Police and Canadian military laid siege to Mohawk warriors occupying Gannons-et-Agui in resistance to the expansion of a condominium project and a golf course onto their territory. The 76 day siege also known as the Oka Crisis culminated 26 years ago today.

To the „we are running small(er) local model“ folks: All relevant open-weight models are based (in more than one way) on continuous work from the mega GenAI corps. As soon as those „local small models“ will threaten their market or power they will stop publishing open-weight models. Because, why shouldn’t they? We know that the people who own and control GenAI tech are the worst. Open-weight is nothing but a fig leaf, ready to be discarded when no longer useful. Same goes for the Chinese ones.

Here's a really basic history lesson:

#Aotearoa #NewZealand is the only British colony where the indigenous people, Māori, declared sovereignty over the land.

He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni, is the 1835 Declaration of Independence of New Zealand. This is a foundational document by which northern Māori chiefs asserted their collective sovereign authority and independence as a nation.

James Busby assisted in having this Declaration immediately sent to the colonial office in Britain where it was finally received by King William VI who recognised #Māori authority by registering the first flag of Nu Tireni - Te Kara. By July 1839, another 18 rangatira (chiefs) from around Aotearoa had put their mark to the parchment.

When the founding document of NZ #TeTiritioWaitangi was signed by most not all Māori rangatira (Chiefs) 1840 it was an agreement between 2 sovereigns - Māori and the British Crown for co-existence in partnership.

Māori never ceded their sovereignty but remained powerless against the colonial govt that never honored the founding document.

Today, the Treaty of Waitangi still protects #Aotearoa #NewZealand from foreign exploitation of much of NZ's resources which is why these hard right #NZPol agents of groups such as #AtlasNetwork are determined to dismantle the treaty for foreign exploitation.

Follow the Money.

I’m glad they’re putting this in the spotlight, really glad, but Mother Jones absolutely biffed something here, something a lot of folks are getting wrong:

The quote about how AI is “the largest theft of labor in human history?” That’s not “how tech leaders talk when they think no one is listening.”

No no no. •That• is the kind of email you send when you think the company is doing something terrible, and you want your objections preserved in writing.

A massive Microsoft data centre was fined after a drone investigation revealed the use of illegally operating gas turbines -->>

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/sep/25/new-jersey-fines-datacenter-unpermitted-generators

I wonder if I maybe don't say this enough: the gas-fired data centre boom is *planned* but not *inevitable*.

In fact, the plans are fragile, and this petrotech dream only works if everything lands with perfect timing and poise.

Spotify, already the bane of many podcasters’ existence, has decided to amp things up: Now it’s scouring podcasts to see if any infringe on “literary content.” It’s already flagged one podcast I host, which reviews/critiques an author’s books one by one, for “infringing” on the book. This is dire.

All corruption, all the time in Trump world: U.S. taxpayers are footing the bill for Trump-praising advertisements running on right-wing media. It's a transfer of our money to media scumbags that are effectively part of the regime. https://abcnews.com/Politics/trump-administrations-campaign-style-ad-fox-news-taxpayer/story?id=136723829&utm_source=www.status.news&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=paramount-s-closing-path
