I'm currently reading Foucault's history of sexuality, and the reason you might want this is because population!

Obviously we are facing a population crisis, and we will need more bodies for the factories and retirement homes. Or at least this was the idea in the 1800s. We might have morally coated it with religion, but biopower is a real thing.

The current hypothesis is that the ever evolving LGBTQ+ is a way to sell niche products to these groups. You can imagine that with every new gender, there is a facebook ad and amazon order to be sold.

I don't really believe this, I'm an anti-realist and I think continental philosophy is BS... but this is a classic. Also, there are sooo many ways our sexual taboos are all about economics. Once you see it, you cant unsee.

I tried doing this with csv files (and for an online solution, Google Sheets)

I ended up just buying a VPS, putting openclaw on it, and letting it Postgres my app.

I feel like this article is outdated since the invention of OpenClaw/Claude Opus level AI Agents. The difficulty is no longer programming.

F-Droid is amazing. I basically wont install anything from the playstore unless its my bank or something.

Video games on F-Droid are how Android games should be. They have the spirt: No ads, no micro transactions, etc..

Kids educational games are the same. I have been using those games only for years and I've had 0 issues. Playstore games, you get an update and now your progress is frozen unless you pay.

Guitar tuner? same

File explorer, image viewer, etc... Same

Everything: same

We need a financial way to reward the resistance. Big corps do not care, as we saw them cave to Apple.

Anyway, I did my part, basically I only use FDroid. I filled this out: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfN3UQeNspQsZCO2ITk...

>Combat astroturfing: when you encounter suspect posts on community forums and social media in support of the policy (“Well, actually…”), challenge them and do not be shy.

Someone contact Dang, because this is now allowed. I have been suspicious HN has actively supported astroturfers over the years for some sort of financial or mutually beneficial gain.

Anyway I basically changed to web apps. They are much easier to deal with and develop.

Yeah I remember that. Very Apple of them.

'Cool demo' -> Doesnt convert to tangible things.

Wont attempt to compete with companies better than them, but go their own route. "oh look it consumes low power!" (Things no one cared about).

They are the Nintendo of tech.

I dont think you should have been downvoted. Processing and memory are the only thing that matters. (Unless we are being so nontechnical now that we just say things like Pixel 9 is great...)

My only issue with AI is that its so verbose.

What we should encourage are people to simplify with AI.

There was that literal 9 page rant by the other day and people had no idea what he was trying to say (too technical language, a poor writer, and seemingly unedited). That could have benefited greatly.

Once you realize Apple and Nintendo have 'understandings' with media outlets, you will start to realize this is just marketing.

Its more impressive when Apple does it because they are so far behind.

I remember being excited when Apple got widgets because then I could add my 'Next Alarm time' to my home screen. Made my company work phone usable on trips.

I wonder when they are going to get NVIDIA cards or CUDA? Then they can actually run LLMs and not just trick people into buying it under the 30 year old idea of 'Unified Memory'.

With AI, I have a hard time thinking wordpress needs to exist anymore. I used to be a huge huge fan.

>I think AI is in a unique state right now where it's not smart enough to replace software developers

Uh..... Do you know about AI Agents? Claude Opus?

Dont judge AI on the instant chatGPT model.

Its so verbose... I wish AI could simplify things.

I learned about 'Sterotype grading'.

The teacher doesnt read, they skim, and they already know who deserves As or Ds.

I was a victim of this. I was a general A or B student, but I thought the funny kids (D students) were funny and hung out with them. I got stereotype graded. My last paper of the year I completely gave up, the least effort ever. Teacher gave me an A and said 'You improved so much!'

Long article. It also surveyed literal pre-teens and used their opinions as evidence... Uh... Was I supposed to trust the author after reading that?

Also, we need to treat schools like they are daycare. K12 didnt stop getting Trump elected (pre-AI).

We really need a different kind of school system. Daycare(current teachers) and education(a new group of teachers, probably professionals).

The corruption and city tax are worse than the crime (in nice areas like downtown or midtown.

But really its the city tax. I wonder if you can Delaware your LLC or something to avoid it.

Techbros will move to downtown or mid town near Wayne State University. Its fine.

But the city tax? Oof
