ArchieScrivener··on Ageless Linux – Software for humans of indeterminate age
We The People are simply no longer represented. Do the math on historic representation ratios and you'll quickly see the first consolidation (long before corporate or bureaucratic) was Representation. We are about 6500 Reps shy of an actual Democratic Republic.

So drinking turpentine will cure my homosexuality?
ArchieScrivener··on Entities enabling scientific fraud at scale (2025)
Hey man, trust the science.
ArchieScrivener··on Personal Computer by Perplexity
None of these companies are serious businesses. They are either researchers out of their depth in transforming their work into economically stable products or they are inept CEO scammers pretending that how you sell something is more important than what you sell.

Thanks for the numbers!

ArchieScrivener··on US Court of Appeals: TOS may be updated by email, use can imply consent [pdf]
>US Court of Appeals

Call me when the only court that matters makes a move.

ArchieScrivener··on Boy I was wrong about the Fediverse
Reads like an intro to a Portlandia remake, only its 2010 nostalgia mixed with heavy handed Reddit-tier remembrances and jibes.

Your 'social media' purity is still some network engineers bastardization of bits. Forums, Usenet, irc, email groups,...

Lamenting what was or what could have been is useless when there is still work to be done directing the outcome.

Vent. Move on.

ArchieScrivener··on System76 on Age Verification Laws
California and Colorado do not get to govern out of state residence, thats interstate commerce and its federal domain, period.

The time is coming where we will unseat legislative traitors who use EU/Old World manipulations in the USA.

An unjust law is no law at all. That is the exception the rule of law requires to remain moral.

ArchieScrivener··on Claude hits #1 on the App Store as users rally behind Anthropic
Those are 100% always bots. Pretend all you want the iPhone bot farms are just for social media.
ArchieScrivener··on We Will Not Be Divided
You are 100% wrong. You listed entitlements. National Defense is half of all discretionary spending.

Homeland Security is less than 1/6th the budget of DoD alone.

ArchieScrivener··on We Will Not Be Divided
The USA showed itself to be a Command Economy that uses 'private enterprise' as a fascade of legitimacy during Covid. Without government spending, employment, and contracts, the USA would be net negative growth.

Now the DoD, who are by far the largest budgetary expense for the tax payer, wants us to believe they don't have a better Ai than current industry? That is a double sword admission; either they are exposing themselves again as economic decision makers, or admitting they spend money on routine BS with zero frontier war fighting capabilities.

Either way, it is beyond time to reform the Military and remove the majority of its leadership as incompetent stewards and strategists. That doesn't even include the massive security vulnerabilities in our supply chains given military needs in various countries. (Taiwan and Thailand)

ArchieScrivener··on The normalization of corruption in organizations (2003) [pdf]
There are some great movies that deal with this: Wall Street, The Firm, The Big Short, Suicide Kings, Michael Clayton, among others.

One can even consider the never ending Ethics classes in college an ironic form of corruption that never teaches anything we don't already know by secondary school, but used to pad credit numbers and tuition revenue.

We should make Mein Kampf available, too? Anarchist Cookbook?

What about Jack's latest Bitchat? Seems free of ISP control.
ArchieScrivener··on The Age Verification Trap: Verifying age undermines everyone's data protection
'You must be 13 years old or older to create an account on this forum.'

Yeah, sure. Whatever you say, Jack.

God speed, Metal Man.
ArchieScrivener··on $30B for laptops yielded a generation less cognitively capable than parents
Many many many people warned against this step, the same people that told you not to let the gov. into healthcare, but the same people didn't listen and we are left with degrading outcomes.

Funny how the people that didn't listen also seemed to make a ton of money off the whole thing.

British reporting on American news is barf retarded.
ArchieScrivener··on Tesla 'Robotaxi' adds 5 more crashes in Austin in a month – 4x worse than humans
As opposed to what, nuclear energy, airplane traffic, people directing 2 ton vehicles?

Get over your bs.

ArchieScrivener··on Tesla 'Robotaxi' adds 5 more crashes in Austin in a month – 4x worse than humans
Good, who cares. Autonomous driving is an absolute waste of time. We need autodrone transport for civilian traffic. The skies have been waiting.

In before, 'but it is a regulation nightmare...'

ArchieScrivener··on Ex-Tech –> Homeless in SF
Are people reading this or just up voting the title? Sounds like someone who screwed up their life, likely by being stubborn, and doing a lot of drugs, which doesn't take knowing how to code to pull off. Reads like a love letter to misery by someone who knew they would never be truly affected by it.
ArchieScrivener··on I'm not worried about AI job loss
Very low. I didn't say French Revolution. Political swing away from capitalism towards socialism.
ArchieScrivener··on I'm not worried about AI job loss
Until you get firms willing to take on the risk and remove the human element. That is a hell of a war chest for fighting actionable incidents.
ArchieScrivener··on I'm not worried about AI job loss
Correct, which is why we will have the first worldwide revolution as people realize their democracies are fake, they are simply enslaved by capitalists; which is exactly what they told us Commies would do.
ArchieScrivener··on I'm not worried about AI job loss
Yeah bro, its been three years. We are just beginning. We will replace the vast majority of professional service workers in 10 years including lawyers as Ai shifts to local and moves away from the cloud.
ArchieScrivener··on The EU moves to kill infinite scrolling
In the USA at least, we need a nation specific intranet where everyone on it is verified citizens and businesses where the government cant buy your data but instead is tasked with protecting it, first and foremost, from itself.

No more for profit nets. Time for civil digital infrastructure.

ArchieScrivener··on Gemini 3 Deep Think
Nonsense releases. Until they allow for medical diagnosis and legal advice who cares? You own all the prompts and outputs but somehow they can still modify them and censor them? No.

These 'Ai' are just sophisticated data collection machines, with the ability to generate meh code.

ArchieScrivener··on Europe's $24T Breakup with Visa and Mastercard Has Begun
How is this not the primary use case for a Blockchain? Of all the nonsense blockchains have been used for, this one actually makes sense. Just need a layer like Lightning with high throughput, and equally distribute network costs across the chain based on transaction amount, no?
