There were people then doing everything they could. Some of them survived, a lot of them didn't. They were heroes, and we should spend more time reflecting on their sacrifice and the bravery of their resistance.
There are people today resisting. They are also heroes. We will never know all their names.

More than half of Americans disapprove of how the Supreme Court is doing its job,

Software is inert without a human user, even though modern-day "agentic" apps are doing their best to squeeze human agency out of the loop. The focus on the tech and not how it is used has intensified an old phenomenon: interpassivity.
The vision tech has been pushing (software that "uses itself") has created a synthetic replacement for human agency. It is harder and harder to care, and that is by design.

The newest term in the AI lexicon is "interpassivity"
The industry is reorienting around software that uses itself. But giving ourselves permission to lean back and relax merely indulges an old and toxic tendency.

I'd like to remind anyone calling for a new Neurenberg Tribunal that the original one was only necessary because Germans didn't respond appropriately to the evil shit Nazis were doing, when they were doing it.

RE: https://eldritch.cafe/@miranda_blue/116935608086213327
This is showing one thing that I think should become general principle: Using an LLM for someone else _is rude and bad_. Presenting something untranslated that _they_ can have an LLM translate is better than doing it yourself, and not showing that input — the prompt here is not included and is a key piece of context, and the results are also bad _with no recourse_.
Information has been destroyed. Trust has been broken (or in the case of commerce, failed to be established). Even if the total amount of LLM-use were the same, this is worse than the reader using it.
PROMPTING AN LLM FOR SOMEONE ELSE IS RUDE.

If it wasn't enough that we have to keep building new kernels every day and backport vulnerability fixes to older LTS branches, now we also have to deal with upstream doing random backports that are completely broken and never bothering to actually even check if they build.

Consider those two different versions of the radiologist’s role: one as a valued human augmented by a machine, doing a job they believe in better than they’ve ever done it — and the other as a cog in a corporate process whose job is to perpetually deal with the machine’s mistakes.
Consider the parallels in software development. All vibe coding and “agentic” stuff points to the second: developers as slop wranglers, as accountability sinks, as exhausted and expendable workers on a code assembly line.

I've finally finished pushing the latest update for #Gentoo Distribution Kernels, and requested their stabilization. This includes upstream releases 7.0.9, 6.18.32, 6.12.90 and 6.6.140; and Gentoo patch bumps 6.1.173_p1, 5.15.207_p1 and 5.10.256_p1.
All of these contain the v5 #Fragnesia patch. And yes, while the exploit is in the wild, upstream still hasn't merged a fix to the mainline kernel, let alone all the LTS branches. Of course, the patch keeps covering more holes, but it would really be preferable to do that as a followup instead of leaving people vulnerable and forcing us to keep rebasing it.
They also include a few reverts in 6.18 and 6.6 for broken PowerPC backports that upstream didn't apparently test. 🤷
We're doing our best, but I'd still recommend running the latest 7.0.x kernel, or LTS 6.18.x, because upstream is far from reliable with the backports.

Police coordinate with ICE all the time, even in sanctuary cities. They ignore the laws, they ignore orders, because they are a fascist gang.

Portland Police literally had a squad to "fight communism" made of known Klan members. That kind of shit is *everywhere*. Washington police formed a death squad to assassinate Michael Reinoehl on Trump's orders. ICE is *still* carrying out ethnic cleansing, and police, who have always been racist and anti-labor, help them every chance they can. These cops are enforcing abortion bans, all while protecting Epstein billionaire. I'm not even touching on *half* of the shit.

LLMs can do a lot of the work people are tasked with doing on a regular basis, because a lot of the work people do is bullshit. The majority of what we do isn't to achieve any goal, it's a way to distribute just enough wealth to keep things calm while keeping us all too busy to actually make things better.
We aren't paid to make stuff or do things. We're paid not to riot. Elites used to know that. The fact that they've forgotten how the machine works is evident in its current implosion, and will only become more obvious as they forget the one thing that actually keeps them safe.
