Luddites were champions of the working class and have been smeared by capitalist for over a century. I'd be proud to be called a Luddite.

(In before history nerds um, actually me: chill..I know)

Yeah. It was a controversy like 10 years ago at this point.

Yes. Every other thing is rage bait to distract you.

I worry that at this point if people haven't figured that out they're never going to

claps

I always assumed the majority of these were bots for MarTech companies testing for engagement.

Mind you, I assume 90% of YouTube comments are these days.

Yes, and with literally every other console over time it will get easier and easier

Considering what I was responding to, you basically made their point for them. Was that on purpose?

More sharing wisdom than gatekeeping. Context matters. Another thing that gets lost on the Internet

Ding ding.

No. It is not, this is a scary and extremist perspective and I'm sorry you feel like that. The media in America and the propagandist dismantling democracy have done so much damage.

So many bots, so many promoters of disjunction. It's overwhelming.

You're being asked to make a choice between eating a gross vegetable and a the barrel of a shotgun and you're arguing for the shotgun.

And children without a lot of life experiences to understand. Imagine coming of age in the last decade. This is their "normal". Its awful and terrifying.. exactly what all the people working to divide and and destroy democracy around the world have been working for.

As much as I'm angry at their ignorance, it's also really fucking sad.

We're not. We're blaming them for being fucking idiots who will vote in a literal dictator because they're mad at Biden. Someone who will do far more damage to and destroy hundreds of millions of lives in the US and the rest of the world.

30,000 deaths in another country is nothing compared to US deaths little orange is responsible for when you only consider his one choice to fuck over pandemic response at the beginning of the pandemic. Dude has the deaths of millions on his hands already.

Anyone, any human being alive, that would vote for him is a fucking idiot that needs to give their head a bashing

I love that you used the phrase democratic choice to describe it too. A+

Took way too long to find a response from someone that actually does the work.

Most of this discussion is just the neuro spicy and olds angry that everyone doesn't do it the "right" way.

I bet there are billions of hours wasted by people trying to make the perfect way to document and discuss stuff, while the answer is "it's hard, tedious, and pretty manual work to create and manage good documentation".

But nobody wants to do it because it has and always will suck.

I'm amused to know that I can look through old irc chats talking about how forums are the death of foss projects. Or mail lists complaining that everyone is using IRC wrong..

Yeah I'm indifferent to discord as a platform. It'll eventually be enshitified and people will move on.

The bummer is that it's enabling people to be poor at documentation in a whole new way.

That said, if Discord went away tomorrow most software projects would still have garbage documentation, because most software projects are ephemeral at BEST.

Escalation escalates

All tech workers should join a union first .. but yes, agreed.

It's never been about left and right. It's always been a war with the owner class and everyone else.

We occasionally forget; until everything falls apart and greed ruins everything. That's when the fight starts again.

There's some hope, but I suggest we expect the worst and prepare for it. Not because I'm some crazy tinfoil idiot .. because of the long trail of "That will never happen"'s that have happened.

I legitimately think your average soldier is generally a higher educated and better critical thinker than the fifty percent of America below the average ..

In theory a lot of things should be true.

But you're talking about a career criminal who committed crimes as president and half the country is going to vote for him to be president again.. so tell me you honestly don't think that it's going to happen

Do it
