can we not do the "weird" thing -_- there's nothing inherently wrong with being "weird", and lots of people who have been bullied or marginalized or oppressed are labelled "weird" in society and a lot of threat modelling is around "weird" people which tends to single out like people with mental illnesses, people of colour, disabled people, queer people, etc...

this isn't just an abstract "don't use problematic stuff" thing, leaning into the idea that "weirdos" are a threat and to be shamed is leaning into stuff that's already actively weaponized against lots of innocent people just living their lives, and no, this is not going to change the focus from them, it'll just reinforce the idea that "weird" is bad

also it's sad that "weird" resonates w/ people more than "fascist" :\

Idk who needs to hear this but "Lone Wolf" assassin's don't hide their intentions and delusions behind encrypted iCloud accounts and impenetrable firewalls on their lappy.

They write rambling manifestos. Make lengthy wild eyed vlogs staring directly in the camera. Create hundreds or thousands of posts and replies on the internet bemoaning the target of their obsession.

Crazed political extremists don't keep their persuasions clandestine. They tell the whole fuckin' world. Anybody who'll listen.

everybody wants to be good at programming but nobody wants to suck at programming for 5 years so they can be good at programming

As it’s that time of year:

"How does AI impact my job as a programmer?": https://chelseatroy.com/2024/05/26/how-does-ai-impact-my-job-as-a-programmer/

This is a brilliant piece told from the perspective of a Computer Science teacher.

It really hits in all the right places and mirrors a lot of my issues.

I appreciate the pragmatic approach of not fighting but letting folks see how it fails on interesting problems.

The article does not hesitant to point the finger back at the programming culture itself.

infohazard heuristic: if it gets over 20 reblargs and updoots it's a psyop

If AI was really as good at satisfying literary whims as some claim, I would even now be holding in my hands a copy of Shakespeare's _þe Lamentable Tragedie of Saruman þe White_.
