Neoliberalism and liberalism are two totally different things.

Ai will just shine the light on the class of workers who have make-work just that exist solely to push them to vote harder.

When we can let markets replace them, itâ(TM)ll be a tragedy for a few generations and then it will be forgotten.

I am anti copyright and have been all my life. I have created things of value and always dump them into the public domain.

Copyright infringes our rights to use our brain and voice and hands and body.

Fuck IP.

Federal regulations are stupid level: they are owned by lobbyists and megacorps.

Send this to the states.

Regulators should be afraid of weaponized Ai. So should censors. So should monopolists.

All of the things the State has done in the past 500 years has been corrupt and bureaucratic and caused harm. All. Not most, but all.

All of the people who supported it, from monopolists to lobbyists to activists caused harm.

Ai is undoing it all. Not piece by piece but all at once.

I, for one, can't wait to see folks zapped for restraining voluntary behavior.

This is why it's time to end social security.

I look at how much I've paid in over my life, and what it would be worth to me today EVEN IF you took out a lot to take care of the infirm and disabled.

There is no way that 65% of the population needs a full handout, but that's about what I'm paying.

He kind of has a point though. Many websites force a fixed column layout. You have a choice between stupidly large text size or big borders either side, if your display is landscape orientation.

Yes, I saw crisp text on my 1024x768 LCD display a quarter century ago. But you missed the next part of the sentence, "even at small sizes". As text gets smaller you reach a point where it is no longer clear. On an 8k display even the smallest sizes are pin sharp. They are a bit fuzzy on 4k (as I use at work) and would be headache-inducing mush if you tried to show such tiny text on a 1920x1080 display.

Back in the day there were hand-created bitmap fonts for crisp display at small sizes. Nowadays, for better or worse almost every application uses outline fonts, which look a bit jaggy if rendered without anti-aliasing ("font smoothing") and a bit fuzzy with it. Only on a very high DPI display is this completely unnoticeable. My laptop is 4k and I am very happy with it, but to make best use of a 32 inch screen a higher pixel density is better.

I'm posting this from my home PC with Dell's 8k monitor. It's nice to see completely crisp text, even at small sizes, and certainly a noticeable quality improvement from 4k. But that's because I am sitting a few inches away. I recently bought a new television, and while I was tempted to pick up a cheap used 8k model, in practice it would make no difference when viewing it from the sofa.

Even Dell seems to have retreated from 8k, however. Their newer top-end monitor has a roughly 6k horizontal resolution.

I love this result.

Butâ¦I also saved for many decades and am fine living on my small catamaran catching fish and ignoring the world.

Sucks you all had to have the latest car and binge Netflix all those years.

I am a very lame producer, but I make really good money at it. It started as a hobby back in 2015.

I use Ai now with all our customers. We will NEVER hire anyone who has EVER used the word "SAG" in their resume or social media profile.

SAG => monopoly => control who can act => if you don't agree with SAG's politics, you can't act.

It's well past time to remove SAG from the market through market forces. Ai is absolutely AMAZING for my client base, they love being able to change the race, gender, location of a commercial with a few clicks.

I absolutely can't wait to send these SAG clowns packing.

Ho, I understood this joke.

I have zero care what you voting twats think.

Good riddance.

Public transportation makes people poorer.

...I didn't support Trump (ever), but I am actually happy about this.

1. I am spending about 70% less on Amazon. I cancelled Prime already, after so many years.
2. I am decluttering what I do own. We found some unopened boxes of Amazon orders from years ago, in the basement. Sold that NIB stuff on FB Marketplace.
3. I am paying more attention to how I can buy in bulk for the items I do want (whey protein, nitrile gloves, etc). Amazon is too expensive on EVERYTHING, but the convenience seemed "worth it".
4. I don't know what else I might ever actually need from buying online, really.

I used my Ai agent to analyze my Amazon spend over 15 years, and it's ridiculous. I want to cut that spend by 90% in 2026, and put the 10% to relationship vendors I can buy bulk from.
