who choose to stay on Twitter is really getting on my nerves.<br/><br/>People have very valid reasons to stay on there, be it for communities that don’t have an equivalent anywhere else, or for access to people and companies that aren’t on anything else, or to keep their small business afloat.<br/><br/>Complain about people who deserve it, like Musk. 2024-08-05T18:08:27Z

how fast we adopt shit technology that doesn&#39;t work, wrecks the environment and fucks over people (e.g. generative AI) but how much resistance on all levels of society there is to adopt well-working technology that saves lives and protects people (e.g. proper indoor ventilation to prevent spread of disease). 2024-08-04T14:21:16Z
