I’m not disappointed with you, just angry.

GenX Absurdist. British, but got over it. Boringly socialist. ADHD as hell. Always not finishing something. Accompanied by a black dog. Ex-HTML-slinger. Bored white collar worker. Hypocrite. Despises point-scoring, scolding, and binary thinking.

A new type of online person is emerging that is absolutely convinced all environmental problems are being caused by AI.

Hate to break it to you babes but your cars, your meat eating, your plastic goods, your overseas holidays, your suburban lawns and your voting habits did 99.9% of the environmental damage long, long before AI started placing its own shit on the breakdown buffet.

But it’s good to pretend that you can unplug those server racks and things will be okay again, isn’t it?

Sorry to bang on about this, but I got a real dose of small t trauma around these people. I was a working class poor kid with no education, and learning issues. These middle class cunts used to make me feel tiny because I couldn’t memorise code by heart, and hadn’t done a compsci degree. Well, the shitty shoe’s on the other foot now.

Let’s not forgot the obvious gender gap here as well. Who are the people who can most easily get jobs where they are paid to do their hobby? Starts and ends with “men”?

They tend to be the same ones whose egos thrived on how much people had to go ask them questions, who enjoyed being visibly smart and being respected.

Fuck the data centres. But also fuck all the “professional computer touchers” who were clearly never once told “no” as children. They never had to grow up, somehow getting jobs where they got to play all day.

I knew ones who had huge apartments that they never cleaned because they just hired maids. Ubers took them everywhere. They had offices filled with toys.

I see several on here who are the most vocal anti-LLM activists, but don’t share that they used to work for Facebook or Twitter.

@nprofile1q... oh my actual god. This very definitely not the save that you seemingly thought it was. Linking to a blog post by your CEO where he defends bankrolling a right-wing party (and yes, forcible remigration and othering the poor is right-wing). 😮

As for this quote: “Do I like most of ÖP’s policies? No. Are they fit to run a country? No.” wtf

Is he bankrolling them? Yes.

Seeing several conferences being advertised with €700+ per person ticket prices. So it’s nice to be going to little ol’ Oggcamp tomorrow. Price £1 (and up). #oggcamp #oggcamp2026

And so begins my journey at BER - possibly the worst airport of a capital city in the developed world. This is, of course, because it was designed by Germans. (I’m allowed to say this, Germans, as I’ve had to live here for the last decade).
