ONLY GAMERS WILL UNDERSTAND

Resist in ways you can, not everyone is an armed revolutionary. You can learn and educate people, shelter people, provide services that are necessary, etc. Or at least malicious compliance.

Yellow Parenti is incredible ❤️ now reading Blackshirts and Reds in his honor

Depending on the place and period, yes. In Argentina there were definitely genocides against indigenous people and also mass immigration, but it’s also complicated because even here we have considerable indigenous blood and too many Argentinians don’t wanna reckon with it. Depending on the region some folks have 1/4 or 1/2 indigenous heritage, about a third is estimated to be mixed like that.

All that said Argentina is quite racist, not talking about online trolls or some dumb shit that isn’t representative of the country, people are generally friendly to foreigners, but we’re still a racist country because there’s racial profiling of indigenous people, our elites identify as white European, our media would have you believe that everyone here is white, you get better opportunities if you’re white, etc. Some Argentinians believe that just because our police doesn’t terrorize people exclusively on grounds of race we have no real racism and we only have classism, but most of those Argentinians are white.

I do believe we’re a settler colony, we benefit from living in stolen land, even if the vast majority of us are recent arrivals, poor and never owned people, we do benefit from being treated better than the original inhabitants of this place, and we benefit more the whiter we are. But this is just about Argentina and my experience, I don’t think it’s universal for all of Latin America, just a part of it.

Trump instead of America

I disagree, the Guardian has a pattern of performing leftist aesthetics while supporting western hegemony every time, hell they’re even bad on trans issues

The point is that random products selling less doesn’t challenge power at all, even with the rise of anti-US sentiment your governments keep bending the knee and the US keeps feeding its army.

1984 seems based on Orwell’s experiences working for the British government at the time, so in a very real sense the west has been that way for a while

What about the left one?

There’s no scientific agreement on anything you’re claiming, there’s no established human nature or specific culture-agnostic development we must all go through, etc.

Assuming you’re maintaining a big codebase and not just producing boilerplate, do you find LLMs to be more help than language servers/IDE code snippets?

How can you be sure?

I don’t blame anyone for being scared, but at some point it has to be done. If the Vietnamese people won, so can all of us.

I understand how you can interpret my comment that way, but focus on this part, please:

Look, I don’t like AI, I refuse to use it or support it as a dev, but the way to avoid it completely taking over is for workers to fight back both inside and outside of their companies and institutions

I’m not saying that. I’m saying the opposite. FIGHT. COLLECTIVELY.

Look, I don’t like AI, I refuse to use it or support it as a dev, but the way to avoid it completely taking over is for workers to fight back both inside and outside of their companies and institutions, us refusing to use it doesn’t change a thing, if you don’t use it for moral reasons it’s like being a vegan for moral reasons, it’s good, but it has no real effect on the system at large because of corporate interests.

You’ll run and you’ll like it! /s
