Winamp was literally right there, do fascists now know anything beyond mindless consu- oh, wait, I answered my own question, of fucking course they are

There's a lot of hype for Omarchy because its an open endorsement of fascism disguised as a Linux distro. Its success would further entrench fascists in Linux and the FOSS ecosystem.

is it because i am being forced to look at the opinions [of people] whose only experience with writing code is vibecoding the latest greatest b2b saas slop in the new flashy javascript framework and then deploying it on some platform that is literally just an aws wrapper with a 1000% upcharge, whose idea of a perfect operating system is one with an llm pre-installed and a billion flashy animations happening anytime you move a window???

Absolutely. Fascists are not known for their technical prowess.

Okay, let's see what the dumbshits are trying to sell this time

(This took longer than I'd liked, because copy-paste is pretty laggy on Cloudflare's shit-ass page)

Built for the rise of agents and machines, NET Dollar will enable seamless, automated transactions without human intervention.

"Agents" are automatic data breach machines, letting them repeat that time they stole vibe-coders' crypto on a larger scale is a terrible idea

The rise of autonomous agents and connected devices is creating a new economic paradigm

Autonomous agents don't exist, and the only "new economic paradigm" being made is one where tech is completely unmoored from reality

These systems need a reliable medium of exchange that can handle high-frequency, automated transactions without human intervention.

See my previous point

Rules, triggers, and workflows can be embedded directly into payments, making them smarter and adaptable.

Went so well for Wolf Game, didn't it?

NET Dollar will work across networks and ecosystems, enabling frictionless, global commerce.

And by "frictionless, global commerce", I presume they mean "sanctions evasion and ransomware"

Every coin will be fully collateralized by a U.S. dollar, ensuring transparency, reliability, and price stability.

Just like Tether! /s

NET Dollar will be made available soon.

How about never.

Honestly, I don't see a way for grifters to wedge themselves into sneerspaces - not easily, at least.

Grifters require some degree of uncritical hype to get by in a space - given sneerspaces are built to make fun of such uncritical hype, building it up here would be very difficult, if not damn-nigh impossible.

Besides, there's much more lucrative spaces for grifters to venture into, like venture capital.

Flagged dead on HN, to nobody's surprise. There's a couple of fascists on there, but that's about it. There's more fascists on lemmy.ml, too.

A year in, there’s just one problem — AI video still doesn’t work. Two people told The Wrap: [The Wrap]

The Lionsgate catalog is too small to create a model. In fact, the Disney catalog is too small to create a model.

Google Veo 3 can’t keep a scene together, keep characters consistent, or take direction — and that’s training on twenty years of YouTube.

Oh no, who could have seen this coming (except every single artist both inside and outside the film industry)

Who’s left to do actual work? Who would start a new project that depends on these institutions? Does ruby just die now?

Honestly, it probably will. The RubyGems takeover shattered any trust people had in the Ruby ecosystem - that's something which is damn-nigh impossible to recover from.

A full timeline on the RubyGems takeover has been put together - looks like the entire situation's been caused by pressure from Shopify.

Found a well-done essay by Jared White recently: AI Apologists and the Humanist Legacy of Steve Jobs, which does a good job sneering the ideology of AI and arguing for a more pro-human approach to tech.

As far as I can tell, Keir Starmer. Which goes some way to explaining how quickly he's run Labour into the ground.

EDIT: And running the UK straight into the ground as well, can't believe I forgot to mention that

In my experience, people who support AI overwhelmingly tend to be stupid and malicious in equal measure, so seeing Tony "Bomb The Browns" Blair support it does not shock me.

Red site's having a normal one about it
