Old Fucking Punk @lwriemen@librem.one

If you remember anything of this "political realignment," please remember this: Every Neera Tanden and Ezra Klein telling you that sad introspective capitalists deserve another chance are people telling you the cunts who tried to murder you and your family and your country should be allowed to get away with that because those same cunts can afford a PR company to say they didn't really mean it and to pay center-right liberal mercs, like Neera Tanden and Ezra Klein, to be character witnesses.

The opinions of people who apologize for neo-nazis are worth exactlyfuckall and, hey, you fuck one goat . . .

In my area there are several venues that have notes up saying they refuse to take AI-generated posters.

Three AI-generated posters were put up recently and all were quickly taken down. All three events returned later with posters designed by local artist/designers, with the person named on each poster.

All the events are run by people I know, who are nice and I'm sure meant no harm. But the action of refusal raised awareness and made them then hire artists. Call that a double-win!

this is the stupidest way for the bubble to start to deflate.

Is AI worth the price? The costs of AI extend far beyond its immediate impact. Why are we accepting them? https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/11/12/is-ai-worth-the-price/

Welcome to 2026. I forgot to renew the domain homebrewserver.club and by the time I realized it got sniped. Its a big bummer and I was expecting some online casino on it but its far worse.

The person that got it made an AI generated version of it, containing some of the old content but also adding new content about AI. The problematic thing is that it is relatively hard to tell apart from the old version as it is clearly trying to impersonate and smuggle in new content.

Do not trust whatever appears on that domain as it is not me or anyone from @varia

I will purge all references to that URL where possible but it will be misleading, annoying and possibly dangerous for a good while.

Don't forget to renew your domains.

If you have *any* Apple platform security needs, getting in Halle to help you out is one if the best things you can do!

Lucy Beaumont is the kind of ally people reporting harassment need.

Listening and believing are nice.

Funding lawyers is the way.

If the "AI" industry had robust fundamentals, the Democrats winning the midterms wouldn't matter, and a CEO engaging in some infidelity wouldn't matter.

But the whole industry is a con.

These events are just the final straws un something that was oversold from the beginning.

“For and against | Go Make Things”

What Chris said.

So, work asked for my opinions about AI again.

"I have lost all confidence in senior management since they started evangelising for this obvious scam."

"If any other supplier offered us stolen goods at a price lower than their cost we would not be allowed to buy from them. AI tools should be no different."

"Senior management have clearly missed their calling in timeshare sales and cult recruitment. The pressure to (a) use the tools and (b) provide some evidence, any evidence, that they improve productivity is relentless. It's not my job to destroy my profession, the economy, the climate and poor communities that have AI data centres inflicted on them in order to provide evidence that they may be of marginal utility in my work. If they were worth all the damage they inflict, the
results would be obvious."

I like that having an affair is career ending, but rigging the global tech economy and doing massive environmental damage is not.

Coolcoolcool.

Disability is not a moral failing or a choice.

It’s a natural part of life.

If you live long enough, you will likely experience disability.

We urgently need better access to healthcare, housing, food and social supports.

Worth should never be based on productivity.

The AI companies' control freakery now extends to prohibitions on doing totally useful things to control our own devices. They're pushing us more and more quickly toward local models (running queries on personal devices). Talk about a counterproductive business strategy... https://www.404media.co/reverse-engineer-anything-ai-companies-crack-down-on-the-coolest-thing-people-were-doing-with-ai/

What the videos show is that the police officers themselves needlessly escalated a shoplifting incident into the scenario that they claim put them at risk. https://theintercept.com/2026/10/23/kohen-wiley-body-camera-police-shooting-justification/

I don't think, in general, there *must* be suffering for revolutionary change to occur. But I do think that, in the West, we innovated the idea that the best way for a ruling class to protect itself is to build a moat of suffering between people and a better future.

Our systems cause intense and protracted waves of suffering if they're changed substantially at all. In an ostensible "democracy" this makes change untenable.

This is a strategic choice on the part of Western rulers.
