“because it is expected to code by hand but managing to vibe anything is amazing”.

I don’t think it’s wise to stake the future of computing on “It’s not that the bear dances well, it’s that the bear dances at all.”

Can you read me?

Plus, you can change the belt on one while it’s running.

I laughed. Then I remembered that my first distro was Slackware.

I explained how the data centers differ from the actual human beings you pretend that you don’t hate.

You can do all the moral finger-pointing you want. The moment you start selectively deciding who is and isn’t a thief is the moment the justice system starts breaking down.

It broke down long ago. You care more about copper in a techbro’s plagiarism machine than you do about all the wage theft ever.

When it’s AI data centers being robbed, suddenly theft is funny, justified, or even worth celebrating. But if the victims were socialist politicians, transgender people, or any other group this community sympathizes with, the reaction would be outrage and demands for justice.

AI data centers aren’t people and are owned by corporations. The trans people and socialist politicians you hate don’t waste obscene amounts of electricity and water. The trans people and socialist politicians you hate don’t store data for surveillance capitalism. Trans people and socialist politicians aren’t a plagiarism machine. Trans people and socialist politicians don’t pollute everything with soulless slop.

One is a tool of oppression. The other is the people being oppressed.

They want too little money.

They would prefer to outlaw manufacturing anything without paying rent seekers.
