Either that, or by "unhealthily", maybe he was obsessed with this kid's channel so much he went out and seduced the kid's mom as some kind of display of ultimate dominance, maybe using "I just got my pilot's license" as an opener.

...Or yeah his kid who he conceived when he got his pilot's license is now half his age and runs a YouTube channel, and excessive YouTube is unhealthy by default. . .maybe that one's more likely. 😂

Ah, of course! Inventor and master of Tweet Kune Do! :D

Positively wild and inspiring. Excellent work, I wanna see where this goes!!

It will get tougher as the bright romance of new adventure is replaced by the long road ahead, but

DO. NOT. GIVE. UP!

The world needs your story and your voice. Nobody else can make your work more than you can.

You've got this. I might make a Webtoon account or something just to follow it.

Oops, I slipped into “we should be more socialist” mode lol

I dunno this plan sounds like it opens up a whole lot more Individual Freedoms ©️™️ 🦅 🇺🇸 for more individual people!. . . As a group demographic comprised of individuals, of course. 😉

(Y'know, for your upcoming campaign. Rooting for you!)

Hoo boi, I've got some bad news.

Basically after a bunch of sales and crap, CBS is now also owned by the Ellisons, and also walking fascist self-contradiction Barri Weiss is heading CBS News.

Trump stooges, billionaires, accelerationist, anti-everyone, zionist types. . . And they're buying up every major media outlet without being stopped. It's pretty disgusting.

For now, but why bother formatting stuff for mobile when Linux mobile wasn't used very much yet?

Now that it's picking up steam, I can see there being mobile compatible or mobile-primary programs coming out.

KDE has been really impressive with Plasma Mobile. They have me excited. :D

These clown-suits are so pathetic:

Storm a capitol building and it's somehow "heroic". Protestors storm a fascist local stooge's mansion and they're probably like

"Go away that's mean I'm just doing my job. :("

How about we just get to the logical conclusion:

✨ Techbro Land ✨

Hook them up to a simulation, yes, like The Matrix! In this simulation they get to do everything they dream of.

Crypto shitcoins as far as the eye can see. Their stonks all go to the moon. Everybody is prompting Ai any time their neurons accidentally bump together. The simulation will accurately simulate an entire earth population just prompting AI and glued to their phones. Look! More profits! Wow.

Ai gambling! Ai sports! Ai art! Ai dating! Ai social media! Ai business! Ai porn! It's all here in ✨ Techbro Land ✨.

We can even accurately simulate mass misery of the general population so our little tenants feel superior! Meanwhile, the Techbro doesn't need to sleep. They believe they unlocked the code to Immortality by micro dosing various hallucinogens and stimulants, allowing them to spend 100% of their day in a chair reviewing an Ai agent's reviewing of vibe code!

There are no "regulations" or even governments in ✨ Techbro Land ✨ . There's a single AI Simulated Singularity (A.S.S) TechBroKing Fascist that makes all the memes, and punishes all the poor working consumption class. Every living situation is AirBnB. All the cars are self driving 24 ton pickups. Trains only exist to ship drones and supplies for infinite data centers and government contracts.

Computing is subscription only, games are rented by the minute, nobody owns anything.

Profits go up and up and up and up and up without end. No climate change, despite the global temperature going up 12⁰C, wars are fought daily with killer robots...I could go on.

The important thing is: These little hoodie-clad megalomanics can't even tell they're actually just locked safely away from the rest of us in stasis in a former mega data center.

...The rest of us, in the real world, take the best of our computing standards with us, and dial all the bullshit back to like 2004 and try this shit again.

I absolutely agree with you.

Computers used to be multi-purpose tools. They existed to benefit their users and make tasks easier.

Now their mainstream "considered ideal" form is just a constant dope-feed that drains your wallet and sells your every waking moment to anonymous bidders. The less you can rely on your own brain, the more you'll pay to rely on theirs.

Computers and those who understand them run society now, and there's definitely an obvious push toward techno-feudalism. A class of "Those Who Understand", served by a forever disadvantaged class of "Those Who Do Not."

A stark contrast can be seen by using any Linux machine, for instance. It's there for you. It is a tool that expects you to gain understanding and familiarity as you use it, rather than handing you all the answers without challenging you to think about anything.

As you gain familiarity, simply using the computer itself feels educating, it gets fun. You are rewarded for trying things by getting smarter.

Compare to any "normie OS."

"No." It says. "You're too stupid for any of this. Pay your subscription and ask Ai maybe."

Exactly.

As if, what, are kids gonna be making their own websites with HTML by just handing them some content-consumption appliance? Yeah, right!

I know some kids who are actually using technology well, and learning valuable skills, building their own gaming machines and stuff.

They're usually in private school or educated households though. As usual, everybody else "fell through."

We need to bring proper computing education back, but Techbro Valley hijacked our schools to train future dependent idiot consumers. Kids have been getting robbed.

It breaks my heart. I had to work in a public library for a long time as a computer lab assistant, and it was soul-sucking how many people of ANY generation were just absolutely clueless. Functionally illiterate. Zero problem solving neural pathways.

It didn't have to be like this. I'm very passionate about this subject, apparently lol, but I have no idea what to actually do about it...

THIS. PREACH. I couldn't say it better myself. Abso-friggin-lutely.

"Technology" is SUCH an abused word by these absolute simpletons. "Technology" didn't cause this. They did what they always do: They thoughtlessly expect their false god, The Market, to somehow organically solve the problem of education and human betterment, if only we sacrifice enough money to it.

Giving kids laptops? MAYBE, right? Huge MAYBE. Ask any generation if elementary schoolers on unsupervised internet connections was a good friggin idea.

But tablets and Chromebooks?! GTFO. Right out. Those things are barely "technology." They're consumption devices optimized primarily to make ongoing profit from their users.

In 95% of cases, I'll wager, nobody's getting hands-on learning from a friggin iPad or Chromebook. Trying to "replace" standard desktops with those things collectively killed a huge chunk of our cognitive abilities as a society.

we let tech-bro-oligarchs decide EVERYTHING related to tech for two entire fucking decades and are just SHOCKED they did the thing that was best for profits, not the children (whose lives it was actively ruining for profit).

ONE. HUNDRED. PERCENT.

So many usability decisions and standards were coming from public univerisities and publicly transparent nonprofits. (Why we have an Internet that's open source at its core, for instance. But I have a lot to research...) Even privately, standards were about the benefit of the users, rather than

"Let's copy every decision Apple makes because look at their stonk price and slavishly drooling fanbase."

My mom used to be awesome with our Windows 95 Packard Bell. She used internet forums, she figured out eBay when it was brand new, she ran DXDiag when games weren't working. She knew how to freaking DEFRAG the thing.

Now she struggles and panics to do the most basic thing if it's not 1-step on her iPhone. It's tragic. Heartbreaking. And I hate them for it.

We let the filthy marketers from packaged goods and casino industries run amok in tech, and that's how we got here : Tech is largely not the incredible new tools we dreamed of to live better lives, instead its often closer to smoking and gambling .

If you let marketers take over anything , unregulated, it inevitably takes the form of toxic vice, because our poorest choices make them the richest.

Mainstream technology doesn't connect us, it isolates us. It doesn't educate us, it actively endeavors to make us stupid . Every freaking bit of bandwidth reaching our eyeballs on the mainstream net is dedicated to reducing "friction" to rob our wallets and personal data.

I'm INFURIATED that most people can't even handle organizing a file system anymore. Only private schools seem to teach actual computer education, and they all bought into this stupid lie that the "future" is cloud subscriptions served on brainrot e-waste.

I feel like we need to start "desktop computer clubs" or something. Seeing this crap like they're trying to extinguish the personal computer is basically a declaration of war in my book...

In 2002, Maine became the first state to implement a statewide laptop program to some grade levels. Then-governor Angus King saw the program as a way to put the internet at the fingertips of more children, who would be able to immerse themselves in information.

As the great Douglas Adams once wrote: "This has generally been considered a bad idea."

2002 though. I sympathize. The internet was different and more human. He must've thought they were giving kids freedom to access NatGeo and Wikipedia.

...We were more optimistic about the internet then.

...But they failed to take into account that they were releasing children into an unregulated world of predatory marketer barons making millions hand-over-fist by hijacking attention.
