  • Chill, hatred is too strong for this. Jokes are rooted in reality but that doesn’t mean that they describe the full reality.

    I’ve been programming and tinkering with computing systems for a long time. Every time I start a new project with some new tech, I end up with 1000 tabs open in various mixtures of docs, AI, stackoverflow, reddit; and discord, slack; etc. hunting for answers or resolutions to similar situation to some particular nuanced problem I’m experiencing. It doesn’t mean that I’m an idiot just that I’m trying to do something that I haven’t done before.

    It’s taken me many cycles to break myself out of the samsara loops of “I don’t know how to do this so I suck.” Imposter Syndrome is real but eventually we work through it to a healthy perspective of “I don’t know how to do this… yet, but I’m going to have to struggle through it to earn this knowledge.”




  • Please do. Show us how it’s done. Build your own car. Deploy your own technology and access it on your own smartphone/computer that definitely doesn’t have Apple, Samsung, Qualcomm, TSMC (and many others) designed and built parts. Grow your own wheat and capture and store your own solar energy on batteries that you’ve mined and refined the minerals yourself. Build your own home.

    Now do all of that without a single mega-corp product. Rules are rules; nope you can’t even buy a hammer if it was produced or sold by a megacorp.

    Turns out that even cyberpunks need corpo shit too. But good luck on your violent anti-corp rebellion—you’re going to need it.


  • I’m not your enemy. Tesla drivers are not your enemy. Look for actual signals, not false signals.

    By the logic you’re stating, all Ford drivers should be harassed too, because Henry Ford did business with Nazi Germany. Toyota drivers should be harassed because Toyota got their start with military trucks for the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. By that reasoning, we’d have to scrutinize nearly every major corporation for their historical ties.

    If we’re going to address systemic issues, let’s focus on meaningful actions and accountability rather than blanket blame or misdirected hostility.
