Profile photo description: a slightly over-saturated close-up of a man of mixed Asian-European ethnicity with slightly graying black hair, beard and moustache, resting his head on that of his (censored) child. It's me and my daughter in the park in spring 2026.

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io "Don't let team peer pressure bully you into not living your values. Have the courage to be true to yourself.👍🏿" I think I'm generally open and positive about people, but the exception is experience has taught me that most people people are "nice" until they're "tested" in situations like this. And then the majority will turn out to be cowards. Especially people with the authority and responsibility to intervene, and the power to do so without real consequences to themselves.

Things that I'm surprised to have to "craft" myself: googly eyes fridge magnets. Never seen those in any stores. I think they'd be quite popular.

(aside: I really despise how this "Heads, Bodies, Legs" magnet game is *incredibly* gendered for its professions. What's even more disturbing is that despite taking away the solution cards, my daughter already has internalized the gender roles. I constantly have to argue that men can look after babies and women can be astronauts)

@nasser I wonder if there's some kind of "expired software patent watch" website for cool algorithms nobody uses due to these stupid things.

My three year old this morning, in the middle of singing an improvised song about a little monster that was sick but got better:

"Papa, can you sing along?"

"Well, ok, but how does the song go?"

She looks at me slightly puzzled, as if I asked something so obvious that she struggles with my stupidity.

"It goes on."

@trademark @alineblankertz @malteengeler No social movement succeeds without some form of violence (or the threat of it) against the oppressor. You're conveniently ignoring the context of the destruction, which is a response to exploitation, and the fact that they were not opposed to the machines so much as their owners reaping all the benefits from them and centralizing wealth. But go on, pretend you care about worker's movements while clutching pearls at the destruction of inanimate objects.

@alineblankertz @malteengeler Anyone using an implying "curious" unironically doesn't need to be taken seriously, that helps. I'm not talking to them so much as replying for the people reading along.

@trademark @alineblankertz @malteengeler “Side”? Disagreeing with the take that Luddites are fetishized isn't a “side”, nor is claiming that we've been fed pro-capitalist lies about them. Your own source starts with backing up the latter, by describing how they're misunderstood as being against (technological) progress. Given that LLMs are marketed as inevitable *technological progress* in *automation*, the Luddite comparisons write themselves. Doing so doesn't imply we should be like them.

@trademark @alineblankertz @malteengeler It's not exactly "fetishizing" to point out that we've been fed lies about who they were and what they represented.

@benjaoming @pmakholm you can try checking when a website was first indexed on archive.org. Slop is (hopefully) not indexed in the first place. On that note, you indirectly inspired me to give their official extension a try to make that process smoother for me. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/wayback-machine_new/

@mochabeau Also, I think Iain McGilchrist pretty much nailed the general problem with the underlying attitude: "There's a fear that without novelty there is only banality; but the pay-off is that it is precisely the striving for novelty that leads to banality. We confuse novelty with newness. No one ever decided not to fall in love because it's been done before, or because its expressions are banal. They are both as old as the hills and completely fresh in every case of genuine love."
